1 Litre Square Finofil Aquatic Basket | 11cm Pond Plant Basket
A compact, strong and fine mesh aquatic planting basket made from 100% recycled plastic, ideal for potting small pond plants, young marginal plants and aquatic plant plugs.
Small square aquatic basket for pond plants, aquatic soil and neat marginal planting
The 1 Litre Square Finofil Aquatic Basket is a compact, strong and practical pond planting basket designed for potting smaller aquatic plants, young marginal plants and starter pond plants. With an 11 cm x 11 cm square shape, 11 cm height and 1 litre capacity, it is an ideal size for individual pond plants that need a neat, contained planting space before being placed onto a pond shelf or into a shallow planting area.
Finofil aquatic baskets are widely used by professional aquatic plant growers because they combine strength, good water movement and excellent soil retention. The basket is made with a strong coarse mesh structure infilled with fine mesh, helping to reduce aquatic soil loss while still allowing pond water to flow freely around the plant roots. This open but protective design allows oxygen circulation, nutrient movement and healthy root development without leaving the planting media too exposed.
One of the main benefits of the Finofil design is that a hessian liner is not normally required. Traditional open mesh pond baskets often need hessian to stop aquatic compost from escaping into the pond. The fine mesh on this Finofil basket helps retain aquatic soil naturally, making planting quicker, cleaner and easier. It also helps reduce the risk of loose soil clouding the pond water when the basket is first placed into position.
The 1 litre size is especially useful for small pond plants and young plants that are not yet ready for a larger basket. It is a popular size for potting up 9 cm aquatic plants, starting marginal plants in a controlled way, or creating a tidy planting scheme where several small baskets are placed together on a pond shelf.
The square shape makes this basket easy to group with other baskets, helping you make good use of space in a wildlife pond, ornamental pond, mini pond or water garden. It is particularly useful for customers who want to plant smaller marginal pond plants neatly without overfilling the pond shelf.
Made from 100% recycled plastic and manufactured in the UK, the Finofil 1 Litre Square Aquatic Basket is a strong, reliable and more sustainable choice for pond planting. It can also be recycled where local recycling centres or kerbside collections accept black plastic.

Reasons to buy this Finofil Aquatic Basket
The 1 Litre Square Finofil Aquatic Basket is a great choice if you need a small but reliable basket for pond planting. It is compact enough for smaller plants, mini ponds and tight pond shelves, while still giving young aquatic plants a proper planting space.
The fine mesh design is especially useful because it helps keep aquatic soil inside the basket without needing a separate hessian liner. This makes planting cleaner and helps prevent loose soil from escaping into the pond.
This basket is also ideal for potting on small pond plants. If a plant has arrived in a small nursery pot, moving it into a 1 litre aquatic basket can give the roots more space and create a more stable planting base.
Its square shape makes it easy to arrange several baskets together, which is helpful when creating a mixed marginal planting area or wildlife pond shelf.
How to use
Fill the basket with aquatic soil, heavy garden loam or suitable pond planting compost.
Place the pond plant into the basket at the correct depth, keeping the crown level with the soil surface unless the plant has different planting requirements.
Firm the soil gently around the roots.
Top dress with washed aquatic gravel if required. This helps keep soil in place and can reduce disturbance from fish.
Water the basket before placing it into the pond to help settle the soil.
Position the planted basket at the correct pond shelf depth for the plant being grown.
Avoid peat based compost, standard multi purpose compost or lightweight soil mixes. These can float, cloud the pond and release unwanted nutrients into the water.
