Pond Snails

Pond Snails are essential pond wildlife for cleaning pond water, consuming nuisance algae and dead plant foliage. Aquatic snails breathe through their skin and gills, improving oxygen balance in pond water, and these underwater snail species won’t munch through your treasured pond plants. Ramshorn Snails are usually found at the sides of ponds whereas Japanese Trapdoor Snails tend to live on the pond floor, and have patterned, whorled shells and an operculum shell ‘door’ behind which they can protect themselves from dehydration and predators.

Nestled amongst wildlife meadows and resident ducks, Caroline’s award winning pond plant nursery in Enfield has been making a splash since 1965, when they invented the (recycled, obvs) aquatic basket.

Plants arrived in great condition and very promptly. Well established - much better than the ones I got at my local garden centre.

I continue to be so impressed with Roots. Their customer care, knowledge of their subject: from planting hedges to pruning roses and more, has been a great support.
