Reef Plants!

Reef plants soften the appearance of the pond bottom while promoting a healthy pond environment.

Oxygenators, or submerged aquatic grasses, are fully rooted in the fiber mat material forming a reef like module that is weighted with a ballast stone.

In gravel bottom ponds, reefs can be anchored in gravel.

In all ponds, reefs settle to the bottom and plant roots spread naturally amid the gravel and/or sediment.

Just drop them into the pond – they are ready to grow!
