FAQs
Can I choose which plants I receive in the mix?
No, the selection is curated by Carbeth Plants' nurserymen to ensure you receive the healthiest and most appropriate specimens available at the time of order.
Are these plants safe for fish ponds?
Yes, these plants are excellent for fish ponds as they provide cover for fish and help maintain good water quality.
How deep should I plant these in my pond?
These are marginal plants and should be placed on a shallow shelf where the water level covers the pot but does not drown the crown of the plant.
Do I need to add fertilizer to these plants?
Generally, no; they draw nutrients directly from the pond water, which is often sufficient for healthy growth.
How many plants come in a pack?
Each pack contains 4 individual plants in 9cm pots.
What happens if a plant arrives damaged?
As these are living plants, ensure you unpack them immediately upon arrival to allow them to breathe and recover from the shipping process.
Troubleshooting
Plant foliage is turning yellow
Check that the plant is at the correct depth; marginal plants often suffer if they are too deep or if the water has insufficient nutrients.
Plant growth seems stunted
Ensure the plant is receiving adequate sunlight as most marginal varieties require good light exposure to thrive.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To establish your new plants, carefully remove them from their packaging and check the soil moisture. Place the 9cm pots into the designated marginal shelves of your pond. Ensure the water level does not completely submerge the crowns of the plants unless specifically indicated for the variety. For maintenance, simply remove any dead foliage during late autumn to keep the pond clean. If the plants become root-bound after several seasons, you can split them in the spring to encourage new, vigorous growth. They are compatible with most standard pond liner systems and are hardy enough to withstand typical UK climate conditions.
