Anglo Aquatics Stratiotes Aloides 5 Pack

This Anglo Aquatics Stratiotes Aloides is a Floating plant and is ideal for placing on the water surface.

Floating plants sit freely on the waters surface and simply need to be thrown into the water. Providing shade for your pond and creating a habitat for invertebrates. By absorbing some of the nutrients from the water, this in turn leaves less food for algae and discourages blanketweed.

Benefits: An unusual native plant with long, narrow and serrated leaves. Stratiotes like to have their roots in contact with the soil or mulm on the base of the pond. Most ponds containing Stratiotes seem to have clear water.
