Ranunculus Aquatilis

What is Ranunculus Aquatilis?

The Water vine is a gem for your pond. With its fast growth and white flowers, it not only keeps your pond algae-free but also makes it more beautiful. The shape of Ranunculus Aquatilis also differs between above and below. This is because above the water it has thicker leaves than below. Since the leaves at the bottom are also thinner, fish find this a fine breeding ground. But this beautiful plant has more fans; various amphibians also find this a fantastic pond plant. Frogs often lay their frogspawn near it. This beautiful oxygen plant and the algae in your pond, need the same nutrients. The algae have a formidable competitor!

Frequently asked questions

How much Ranunculus Aquatilis does my pond need?

We always recommend 4 to 5 bunches per 1,000 litres of water. This may seem like a lot at first glance, but it delivers the best results for your pond. With this amount, you will get the maximum results. The water will become or remain clearer, and algae will grow less. Of course, you can combine this amount of bunches.

What are the benefits of Ranunculus Aquatilis for your pond?

Water vine is a fairly fast-growing pond plant. This oxygen plant also purifies the water and provides shelter for amphibians under its large leaves. The leaves also partly cover the surface of the water, which causes algae to lose another element to grow - light. The white flowers that Water Ranunculus raises above the surface of the water in summer are a beautiful sight. With this inflorescence, it is somewhat similar to Water Violier.
