Floating Plant Islands are living, floating gardens for ponds and waterways. They are a perfect habitat for animals, plants, microorganisms and bacteria. They will provide a very beneficial, natural, water improvement in ponds. The Floating Plant Islands use nutrients from the water and are a biotop for waterbirds, insects, fish (spawning in roots), snails and thousands of small organisms. With a minimum maintenance they are self providing. It is easy to put commercially available water plants on the islands. The roots of these plants will grow deeply into the water and consume excess dissolved nutrients. This will reduce the food source of algae. The islands will also provide shade for fish that also will inhabit the living space of the light loving algae
