The material is porous, so that the plants roots will always be supplied with enough water. The styrofoam floating ring allows the basket to float in any random place on the water surface, allowing more plants in the water garden. The floatable planters can also be tethered and fixed with a weight to the loop (Not Included). Either way “Plant Islands” will be created, which present a fascinating effect, even in places where the water is too deep to plant on the bottom of your water garden pond. The advantage is that the floating aquatic planter baskets sit (float) on the surface of the pond water, keeping the plant roots in the water, no matter how the water garden pond water fluctuates. Allows for some marsh plants, calypso canna lilies, horse tails and papyrus plants to stay upright, no more blown over pots. The durable fabric traps pond soil as the floating planter baskets are intended to last thru the seasons. Gives frogs and other insectivores a place to hide in the koi fish pond and helps prevent the fish from eating the plants roots, while providing shade and protection from pond predators.
