Plant size and format descriptions
These comprise typically 8-10 strands held together with a small lead weight strip, ready for potting or placing directly in the pond. Please note that the lead weight may be insufficient to sink the bunch and while they will survive like this for a long time, they are better potted up or at least submerged. Some oxygenators, eg Ranunculus hederaceus, are supplied loose, as they are too short to bunch. At certain times of year when some oxygenators are brittle they will be supplied loose and not bunched.
Floating plants like frogbit are sold as portions; early in the season frogbit plants are tiny and portions will seem small. Later on, once they get going, portion sizes will look more generous. All floating plants take up nutrients and provide surface cover, helping with the battle against algae, however please note that a single frogbit plant bought in June will not solve your algae problem on its own!
Some plants are available in sizes other than standard, e.g. 2 litre pots or 5 litre pots. Moisture loving plants will be rooted in black solid pots of the size described. Marginal plants will be rooted in black mesh pots of the size described. Both options will be cut back for boxing and shipment if the plants are taller than the biggest box (about 90cm), new growth will soon be produced.
