PLANT CARE

purple Lily flower

How we care more for the plants we provide to our clients

Before we even purchased a plant we have an idea of who’s pond it would be happiest in and how happy it would make that client.

What we get when you purchase a plant online

It's very difficult to ship a plant rooted in mud and receive it resembling anything close to how it looked when the box was closed.

What we get when you purchase from a local grower

This plant was potted by a aquatic plant grower the previous season before we purchased it then, we clean out any foreign plants such as, string algae duckweed etc. we then, re-pot it adding more soil fertilizing and grow it for an additional 3 to 4 weeks before delivering it to our clients.

Aquatic Artisans Plant Care

On arriving we rinse out the container and apply a thin coating of gravel being careful not to smother the plant to keep the soil in.
