6. Pond Plants | Alternative to Fertilizer for Pond Plants

Many pond soils and planting substrates contain excessive amounts of nitrate and phosphate. These can:

• 💥 massively promote algae growth
• 🌫 lead to cloudy water
• ⚫ encourage sludge deposits on the pond floor

Pond plant fertilizers often act where they shouldn’t – namely in the open water.

Our solution: BioTeich VitaTon – for targeted nutrient delivery to the plants and protection against algae formation.

BioTeich VitaTon is a clay-based planting granulate with an extremely fine pore structure. It:

• 🔄 magnetically absorbs excess nutrients from the water,
• 🌿 stores them in a plant-available form,
• 💧 releases them as needed to the roots,
• 🛡 prevents excess release into the water.

➡️ Your plants grow better, algae grow worse.

1. 🧼 Thoroughly rinse the plant’s roots
2. 🪣 Fill the planting basket with 1,000g of VitaTon
3. 🌱 Plant centrally and weigh down with gravel/stones

This prevents the clay balls from floating and ensures a firm hold.

• 🌊 Submerged plants such as hornwort or water milfoil
• 🌾 Bog plants such as yellow flag iris, cattails
• 🌸 Floating plants such as water lilies (in a basket)

The more of these species you use, the more nutrients are removed from the algae.

With large fish populations (e.g. koi):

• Only use robust plants in the top zone
• No submerged plants – they will be eaten

For swimming ponds:

• Use BioTeich VitaTon in the plant filter zone
• Lower the water level, clean, add VitaTon, plant
• Cover with stones, refill water

No. Please:

• 🧽 completely remove old pond soil
• 💣 also replace substrates with fertilizing effects such as zeolite or lava

Only this way can you prevent unwanted nutrient return to the water.

• ✅ Nutrient binding instead of algae fertilizer
• ✅ Natural and chemical-free
• ✅ Ideal for all planting zones
• ✅ Buy once = use forever
• ✅ No more repotting due to algae problems
