1 ltr square | Finofil Aquatic Pond Basket
Superior strength, fine mesh allows water flow, oxygen circulation, and nutrient absorption for pond plants.
Made from 100% recycled plastic
Manufactured in the UK
The square 1 litre Finofil aquatic planting basket (11cm) is good for splitting 1 litre marginals, or potting up plants that arrived in 9cm solid pots. It can also be used for anchoring your bunched oxygenators into gravel, if you would rather they were not loose in your pond.
This is the basket our 1 litre marginals, oxygenators, waterlilies and deep-water plants are grown in and arrive in.
If you want a shallower 1 litre basket for your marginal shelves, the round 1 litre (14cm pot) is 1cm less in height.
Spring is the best time to pot on or divide pond plants, once they are back in active growth.
The fine mesh holds the soil in place, so there is no need for a hessian liner. If you would rather line yours, [hessian squares] are available here.
Potting up or splitting plants, you may also want aquatic compost, gravel to cap the surface and aquatic fertiliser for hungry plants like waterlilies. All three are in our potting essentials.

Dispatched all year round - Tuesday & Thursday
Are plants dispatched the same day as ordering?
No. Live plants require draining and careful preparation. The nurseries dispatch in scheduled batches rather than on-demand. This means same-day dispatch isn’t possible, but we always aim to send your order as promptly as we can within our dispatch schedule.
If you’d like to check when your order is likely to arrive, just email us and we’ll be happy to advise.
