Floating Plant Islands provide a perfect habitat for animals, plants, microorganisms and bacteria.

They contribute considerably and naturally to improving the quality of water in ponds. The floating plant islands absorb nutrients from the water and are also a biotope for water birds, insects, fish, snails and thousands of small organisms.

With a minimum of maintenance, they are self-sufficient. Islands can easily accommodate commercially available aquatic plants. The roots of these plants extend deep into the water and absorb dissolved excess nutrients, depriving the algae of their food source.

In addition, the islands generate shade which protects the fish against the sun's rays.

Myosotis sylvatica (Forest forget-me-not)

Caltha palustris (marsh marigold)

Iris pseudoacorus (yellow iris)
