Moerings Pond Lava is a high-quality washed lava. It is a highly porous substrate that can be used both on the bottom of the pond and in the helophyte filters. The pondlava is available in 8-16 mm and 16-32 mm.
Moerings Pond Lava is perfect as an embedding substrate for oxygen plants and wetland plants. This porous substrate ensures a good flow of oxygen rich water for healthy roots and good growth. You can also use Moerings Pond Lava to cover plant baskets with water lilies, planted in Moerings Bio Granulate or Moerings Pond Soil.
Instructions for use:
On the bottom of the pond:
• Use Moerings Pond Lava before you fill the pond with water.
• Make sure the entire bottom of the pond is covered with a 3-5 cm thick layer.
• Use Moerings Pond Lava on other flat levels in the pond to ensure the plant baskets do not slide.
In plant baskets
• Use Moerings Pond Lava as plant substrate for oxygen plants and quick growing wetland plants.
• Cover the bottom of the plant basket with a layer of Moerings Pond Lava, pot the plant, and fill up the basket.
• You can also use Moerings Pond Lava to cover plant baskets with water lilies, planted in Moerings Bio Granulate or Moerings Pond Soil.
In the filter
• Make sure the size of your filter has been adjusted to the total volume of water of the pond.
• Use Moerings Pond Lava as an organic purifying substrate in the filter (both in multiple chamber filters as in helophyte filters).
