FAQs

Does the kit come with a pump?

No, this kit is designed as a static water feature and does not include a pump.

Can I keep fish in this pond?

This kit is primarily designed for aquatic plants and decor; please consider the limited water volume before introducing any aquatic life.

What plants are included?

The plants are selected from a variety of wildlife-friendly species such as Flowering Rush, Ragged Robin, Creeping Jenny, Water forget-me-not, Brooklime, and Floating Heart.

Is the zinc trough waterproof?

Yes, the trough is specifically manufactured to hold water for this purpose.

How do I look after the plants in winter?

While plants go dormant, they must be protected from harsh frost; you may need to move the entire unit to a garage or cover it during freezing temperatures.

Troubleshooting

Water level dropping too quickly

Check for any hairline cracks in the trough or ensure that excess evaporation is not being caused by extreme direct afternoon sunlight.

Algae growth

Increase the density of floating or oxygenating plants to shade the water surface and compete for nutrients.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Placement: Choose a level site with access to the appropriate amount of sunlight for your specific plant varieties.
Filling: Gradually fill the zinc trough with water, ensuring it is secure on your chosen surface before it reaches full weight.
Planting: Place your aquatic pots into the trough. Rearrange them to find the best aesthetic balance.
Maintenance: Keep an eye on water levels during hot spells, as evaporation will occur. To maintain the finish, wipe the exterior of the zinc trough with a damp cloth periodically. In late autumn, protect the plants from harsh, freezing conditions by moving them or insulating the trough.
