Manufacturer’s Description
Aquatic Plant Media is an aquatic plant soil recommended for all potted aquatic plants. It is comprised of a unique blend of natural minerals, including zeolite, which provides a clean, easy to use planting media for water gardeners. It traps and holds nutrients from aquatic fertilizer tablets that otherwise could leach into the pond.

Directions
1. AQUATIC PLANT MEDIA should be fully saturated with water for ease of use. Pour AQUATIC PLANT MEDIA into a clean bucket and fully cover the granules with water.
2. Prepare the pot for AQUATIC PLANT MEDIA by covering any holes with a piece of nylon screen, or weed barrier material to keep the AQUATIC PLANT MEDIA from leaking out.
3. Add about 3 inches of pre-soaked AQUATIC PLANT MEDIA into bottom of pot or basket.
4. To promote lush plant growth, we recommend adding API AQUATIC PLANT TABS, a pond plant fertilizer, as AQUATIC PLANT MEDIA is not a fertilizer.
5. Arrange the plant roots into the pot and gently cover roots with AQUATIC PLANT MEDIA and fill the pot to about 1" from the rim. Top off with decorative stones.
6. Slowly lower the pot into the pond. There will be some trapped air in the soil. It will bubble out as the plant is lowered into the water.
