Appearance and growth habit
Black Floating Propagation Pot (6cm) is a clever floating planter designed for growing terrestrial and semi-aquatic plants directly above your aquarium. The 6cm mesh basket allows roots to grow freely into the water while the floating ring keeps the pot securely at the surface. It's a simple way to add lush greenery to your aquarium while giving your fish tank a clean, modern look.
 
Care requirements
Place your chosen plant into the mesh basket using your preferred growing media, then simply float the pot on the water's surface. The roots will naturally grow down into the aquarium, where they can absorb nutrients from the water. Suitable for many houseplants, cuttings, and aquatic-compatible species, it performs best in aquariums with stable water levels and good lighting.
 
Troubleshooting
If the plant isn't thriving, check that it's receiving enough light and that only the roots—not the foliage—are sitting in the water. Plants that become too large may affect the balance of the floating pot, so choose appropriately sized varieties or trim them regularly. The floating pot does the hard work—you just need to pick a plant that enjoys getting its feet wet.
 
Pet and reptile safety
The Black Floating Propagation Pot is a non-toxic plastic accessory suitable for aquarium use. It is safe to use around fish and aquatic plants when used as intended. The pot itself is not a toy or chew item and should be kept out of reach of curious pets. The safety of the setup will depend on the plant you choose to grow, as some plants may not be pet or reptile safe.
