Product Information
Full details
The SuperFish Pond Deco Hyacinth is designed for pond owners looking to enhance their water feature with vibrant, low-maintenance aesthetics while providing functional benefits for aquatic life. It serves as a decorative, lifelike floating accent that doubles as a shelter for fish, though potential buyers should note that as a plastic artificial plant, it does not contribute to biological filtration like real aquatic vegetation.

FAQs
Can I leave this in the pond during winter?
Yes, it is made of weather-resistant materials and can be left floating throughout the year.
Will my fish try to eat the plant?
The plant is made of durable plastic; however, it is always recommended to monitor your fish's behavior when introducing any new item to the pond.
Does this product require assembly?
No, it comes fully assembled and ready to float immediately.
Can I trim the roots if they are too long?
While the cotton roots are designed to be soft for spawning, they can be carefully trimmed with scissors if they interfere with pumps or equipment.
How many should I buy for my pond?
The number depends on the surface area you wish to cover; one unit measures 25x25 cm, so calculate your pond surface area accordingly.
Troubleshooting
The plant drifts into the filter intake or skimmer.
Use a piece of fishing line to tether the ornament to a small stone at the bottom of the pond.
The leaves have accumulated debris or algae.
Remove the ornament from the pond and gently rinse it with a hose or in a bucket of pond water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is simple: remove the product from the packaging and place it directly onto the surface of your pond. No anchors or weights are required as the foam base provides sufficient buoyancy. Compatibility-wise, the 250 mm x 250 mm footprint is suitable for most garden ponds and fountains. To care for the product, occasionally rinse the leaves with a gentle stream of water if algae or debris accumulates. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as residues could harm your fish.
