Water Lilies are Available Now

The cool spring weather delayed it a bit, but finally...
Water Lilies are here!


Available in our St. Louis Pond Market store and online!
Locally our Water Lilies come ready to put in the Pond, in a basket with a handle and in a mix that will not cloud or foul the water.
Mail Order, they come nice size, with several leaves and not a dried up tuber like other companies.

But if you have existing Water Lilies, here are some TIPS:

>> Water Lilies are very heavy feeders, the more you feed them the more they will bloom!

>> The size of the container helps determine the spread the of the Water Lily. If you want to cofine it to a smaller area then just keep it confined to a smaller container.

>> Hardy Water Lilies start blooming earlier in the year, but also stop blooming earlier in the Fall. Tropical Water Lilies start blooming later, but will keep on blooming when hardy Lilies have stopped.

>> Water Lily blooms make great fresh cut flowers for your vase or look wonderful floating in a glass bowl.

Fun Pond Fact

Goldfish are spawning!
Goldfish are egg scatterers and the eggs are sticky and cling to the pond liner, plants, rocks and whatever else is around. The Goldfish will also eat these eggs.

If you want baby fish, have plenty of Pond Plants around for eggs and babies to hide.

One of the best is "Parrots Feather".

Baby Ringneck Parrots

That is what that stuff coming out of your Pond is:
Bottom Sludge and the stuff being cleaned out of your Pond Filter,....
put it around your plants and watch them thrive!

"Wet Footprints"

We have all heard of our "Carbon Footprint", and we know that big companies "trade" for carbon offsets....what if we could all do the same?
Well, we can!! Pond Owners can leave a "Wet Footprint"(TM) and in our small way help Mother Nature reclaim some of what we took!

The PondMarket is developing a program to encompass ways for everyone to build a little bit of habitat to make a trail of "Wet Footprints" which emcompasses providing places for creatures to live and things to grow.

The PondMarket has started putting a sign by products that are "Earth Friendly" in their catalog (we are not done...more products will get this seal as we review them one by one).

The Seal above and to the left will start appearing in our newsletters, on our site and in our catalog to show you ways to make a positive impact (or avoid a negative one).


This week, we feature the new "All Natural Algaecide" for Ponds! Truly a first and breakthrough product, it will help to avoid using harsh chemical algaecides when eliminating green water!

Koi Pond Fish

Koi are the most spectacular ornamental pond fish to add to a garden pond.
Large and beautiful, Koi carp can also be tamed to eat out of a persons hand.
Koi are not suitable for very small ponds (they must have at least 200 gallons of pond water per fish) and must have adequate pond filtration.

Koi can live a very long time (40+ years) if the right environment is provided!

Fun Pond Fact

Water spiders collect air and store it in the strands of their underwater webs for use as needed.

Fun Pond Fact

While Koi spawn only once a year, Goldfish spawn all spring, summer and fall. Goldfish need to be only about 2 inches long to start spawning (have babies).
