Finofil Aquatic Baskets – All Sizes Available!

Finofil are the best aquatic baskets in the industry and trademarked by our specialist supplier.  They are used around the world. These baskets don't require hessian liners due to the thin layer of mesh that is built into the structure designed to reduce soil loss, all whilst still allowing nutrients to permeate through to the plant. The baskets come in a range of sizes and shapes. A guide is shown further down for re-potting instructions.

Marginal Plants

  • 9cm marginal plants require repotting into a mesh basket, unless being put straight into the subsoil around the edges of the pond, as suggested by Joel in his YouTube videos.  If you do decide to repot into a mesh basket though, place in a pond no deeper than 1/3 maximum recommended planting depth to allow the plants to establish.
  • 1 litre marginal plants do not require repotting, there is no need to remove the finofil mesh basket.  Place in a pond no deeper than 1/2 maximum recommended planting depth to allow the plants to establish.  Plants over 60cm height growth will benefit from repotting into a larger mesh basket or should be planted in gravel or the subsoil margins to prevent them from falling over.
  • 3 litre and 5 litre plants do not require repotting, there is no need to remove the mesh basket.  Place on the shelf of the pond at the required depth.

Moisture Lover Plants

  • Remove the plant from the pot and plant in damp ground, in a hole deep enough to accommodate the root ball.

Oxygenating Bunches

  • 9cm oxygenating plants require repotting into a mesh basket, unless as above you are planting straight into the subsoil.  If repotting in a mesh basket, place in a pond no deeper than 1/3 maximum recommended planting depth to allow plants to establish.
  • 1 litre oxygenating plants do not require repotting, there is no need to remove the mesh basket.  Place in pond no deeper than 1/2 recommended planting depth to allow the plants to establish.
