OASE Kidney Plant Basket

OASE Plant Basket Oval 45cm – Kidney Shape, 12L

Give your aquatic plants the perfect home with the OASE Plant Basket Oval 45, a long, narrow pond plant basket designed for planting aquatic and marginal pond plants while keeping their roots contained.

Measuring 45cm long × 18cm wide × 15cm high with an approximately 12-litre capacity, this black plastic plant basket has a distinctive oval or kidney-shaped design that works particularly well along pond edges, in curved areas and where a long, narrow planting basket is more practical than a traditional square or round basket.

Made from robust, rot-resistant plastic, the OASE Plant Basket Oval 45 is designed for long-term use in the pond. Its finely perforated sides and base allow water and nutrients to move freely through the basket, supporting healthy aquatic plant growth while keeping larger, more aggressive roots contained.

Why Use a Pond Plant Basket?

Planting aquatic plants into a basket makes it much easier to control where they grow in your pond. The basket keeps the aquatic soil and plant contained, while allowing water to circulate through the root zone.

The fine openings allow smaller roots to grow through the basket while helping restrict thicker root growth. This can help protect your pond liner from aggressive roots and makes established plants easier to lift, divide, reposition or prepare for winter.

Ideal for Aquatic & Marginal Pond Plants

The OASE Oval 45 is particularly useful for medium-depth and deeper pond planting where you need a larger planting area without taking up excessive width.

Its elongated shape makes it ideal for planting along pond edges or positioning several plants in a row.

It can be used for a wide range of aquatic plants, including suitable marginal and deeper-water pond plants, depending on the plant's individual planting-depth requirements.

Designed for Healthy Plant Growth

The perforated design of the OASE Plant Basket Oval 45 allows water and nutrients to circulate through the planting medium. This provides aquatic plant roots with access to the surrounding pond water while keeping the majority of the planting medium contained within the basket.

For best results, use a suitable aquatic planting soil and follow the planting-depth requirements of your chosen pond plant.

Easy Pond Plant Maintenance

One of the major advantages of planting aquatic plants in baskets is easier maintenance. Rather than allowing plants to establish directly into the pond, the basket keeps the root system contained and makes it easier to lift the plant when it needs dividing, repotting or repositioning.

This is particularly useful for pond owners who want to keep their water garden neat and their plants under control.
