Heavy-Duty Aquatic Plant Pot, 20-Inch Diameter The Aquascape Heavy-Duty Aquatic Plant Pot 20" Dia (50.8 cm) is the largest format in this range, designed for large-spreading water lilies, vigorous lotus, and established bog plants that require maximum root volume to reach their full size potential in a pond setting. Maximum Root Volume for Full-Size Aquatic Plants Hardy water lilies rated for large ponds produce pads spanning 12 to 18 inches and blooms 5 to 8 inches across when given adequate root space. A 20-inch pot provides enough volume for these varieties to reach their genetic potential across a full growing season without requiring division for 3 to 4 years. For lotus, a large pot volume is especially important given the species' vigorous lateral rhizome spread.

Plant the rhizome horizontally at the correct depth for the species. Cover to the crown with media. Top-dress firmly with pea gravel to prevent koi from rooting out the plant. Lower into the pond at the recommended depth for the species. In productive ponds, check annually for root congestion and divide when growth slows. Ideal for large-scale koi ponds and water gardens where showcase water lilies, vigorous lotus, and large spreading bog plants need the maximum root volume to achieve full size and peak bloom production.
