Finofil 40cm Aquatic Basket (30 Litre)

Strong, Durable Aquatic Plant Basket for Healthy Pond Growth

The Finofil 40cm Aquatic Basket (30 Litre) is a premium planting basket from the market-leading Finofil® brand, trusted by professional growers worldwide. Designed with a durable fine mesh construction, this high-quality aquatic basket minimises soil loss while allowing water and nutrients to circulate freely around plant roots for healthier aquatic plant development.

Unlike many standard pond baskets, the Finofil fine mesh design eliminates the need for additional lining, making planting and maintenance quicker and easier. Its generous 30-litre capacity provides ample room for larger aquatic plants to establish strong root systems while maintaining excellent water flow.

At Artisan Aquatics, we recommend using specialist aquatic compost and aquatic planting grit when repotting pond plants for optimal results.
