Floating Island for Pond Type 81 - Aquatic Plant Support

Transform your pond into a true refuge for biodiversity with this vegetated floating island. Both decorative and functional, it naturally promotes the biological balance of the water body while providing valuable habitat for many species.

Benefits of the Type 81 floating island

🌿 Naturally improves water quality
Plants installed on the island develop their roots directly in the water and absorb excess nutrients (nitrates, phosphates), helping to limit algae growth.

🐟 Creates a refuge for aquatic wildlife
Fish, fry, dragonflies, aquatic insects, snails, and microorganisms benefit from a rich and protected environment.

☀️ Provides shade for fish
The island creates shaded areas appreciated during hot summer weather and limits excessive water warming.

🦆 Promotes biodiversity
It forms a true floating biotope that attracts water birds, pollinators, and a multitude of beneficial organisms.

🔧 Easy to install and low maintenance
Simply plant vegetation suited to wet areas to quickly enjoy its many ecological benefits.

Which plants to install?

The island is compatible with many aquatic and shoreline plants such as:

• Marsh iris (Iris pseudoacorus)
• Marsh marigold (Caltha palustris)
• Purple loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria)
• Water mint (Mentha aquatica)
• Meadowsweet (Filipendula ulmaria)
• Tibetan primrose (Primula florindae)
• Dwarf cattail (Typha minima)
• Sedges (Carex spp.)
• Rushes (Juncus spp.)
• Mimulus, loosestrifes, glyceria, and many other species adapted to wet environments.

Why install a floating island in your pond?

In nature, wetlands are full of vegetation capable of purifying water and sheltering exceptional biodiversity. This floating island replicates this natural function directly on the surface of your pond. The submerged roots increase the biological exchange surface, provide hiding places for fish, and actively contribute to the ecological balance of the environment.
