Anglo Aquatics Trapa Natans 5 Pack

This Anglo Aquatics Trapa Natans 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: Leaf cover shades the surface which helps prevent the growth of algae. Trapas reproduce by forming nuts which sink to the bottom in the autumn. These nuts are called Water Chestnuts and used in Chinese dishes.
