Square Finofil Aquatic Plant Basket – 2.5 Litre

    Description

    This 2.5 litre square aquatic basket provides a more compost volume than a standard 2 litre basket, which can be useful when plants are developing strongly and you want a longer interval before the next division or repot. The broad square footprint sits securely on pond shelves and allows efficient, space-saving placement alongside other baskets.

    Fine mesh construction helps keep aquatic compost contained while still permitting water exchange around the root system.

    Why choose a square basket?

    Square baskets are an excellent choice for tidy, repeatable planting schemes. They resist shifting on flatter shelves and make it easier to plant groups of marginals with consistent spacing.

    Why choose a 2.5 litre basket?

    Choose this size when:

    • the plant is outgrowing smaller baskets and needs additional root room
    • you want extra stability from a wider base and more compost weight
    • you are aiming for a fuller, more mature plant form without committing to a very large basket

    As always, the best results come from matching basket size to the current root system, then potting on only when needed.

      Growers Tips
      • A 2.5 litre basket can be a good 'holding size' for plants that are developing but not yet ready for very large containers
      • Avoid overfilling; leaving space for a gravel cap helps keep compost stable and planting tidy
      Wildlife Tips
      • Firmly planted baskets reduce loose sediment and help maintain clearer margins, supporting insect larvae and amphibians that rely on sheltered, well-vegetated edge areas
      Ordering, Shipping, Tracking and Returns
      Ordering & delivery


      Some products are ready for immediate dispatch, while others are sold for a later delivery period so that they can reach you in good condition and at the right point in the growing season.

      The expected delivery period for the product or variant you choose will be shown below the Add to basket button and again in the basket and checkout.

      30 litre plants and some larger items are sent by specialist pallet delivery rather than standard parcel.

      If your order contains products with different delivery timings, it may be split into more than one shipment. Plants or products that are ready for immediate dispatch will normally be sent first, while later-season plants will be sent when they are ready. This helps us send live plants at the appropriate point in the season and in suitable condition to travel.

      For full details, please see our Shipping Policy.

      Returns & problems on arrival

      Because we sell live aquatic plants and molluscs, some parts of our policy work differently from standard retail.

      Live plants and molluscs are perishable and are not suitable for routine returns once they have been prepared for dispatch.

      If there is a genuine issue on arrival, please contact us within 24 hours using the form on our Contact page, with your order number, photographs, and a short explanation.

      We will always review genuine issues carefully and fairly. Depending on the circumstances, the appropriate remedy may include a replacement, refund, or partial refund where appropriate.

      Please do not send anything back unless we have agreed this with you in writing first.

      For full details, please see our Refunds & Returns Policy.
