Bit of a magical moment this week; we've had a visit from an absolutely stunning dragonfly Wednesday afternoon while putting out the pond plant delivery.

This one's a Broad Bodied Chaser (Libellula depressa) and it looks to us like she was laying eggs in one of our pond plant tables, so we'll be keeping an eager eye out for any nymphs to shift into our little wildlife pond in the coming weeks! 😁

Phew - another busy week for plants with today's tank plant delivery arriving!

Fans of Vallis will be happy to hear we have Straight Vallisneria back in stock; we also have some rather nice Cryptos in stock now and some more of the Anubias on pipes for the first time in a while.

All labels shown in this post are ones from today's delivery. As always for any inquiries about stocking levels and prices, feel free to give us a ring on 01454 414449 or drop us a message on here.

Now that this year's generation of tadpoles are well on their way to becoming adult amphibians we can get into the real meat and potatoes of wildlife ponds - invertebrates! We've been keeping an eye on our Blagdon Liberty No-Dig Feature on our front decking recently and we've already had quite a few little critters find their way into it.

Keep an eye out for the following in your home pond - you might even have some already:

🐌 Great Pond Snails (Lymnaea stagnalis)
🐌 Ramshorn Snails (Planorbidae sp.)
🐜 Pond Skaters
🐝 Hoverfly species
🦟Midges, Mosquitoes and Non-biting Gnats

Other invertebrates - like Diving Beetles, Dragon and Damselflies, Whirligig Beetles and Water Fleas will also find their way into wildlife ponds and natural pools!

It's been a very busy one for plants this week, with both a gigantic tank plant order and a pond plant order coming in to well and truly fill us up!

We've focused a bit more on oxygenating and floating pond plants this week (along with a top up of the ever popular pygmy lilies), with the tank plants we've gotten some nymphaea lilies in, a ton of pot plants to fill back up and a nice selection of bunches.

With the temperature rising this weekend, it’s essential to make sure your pond stays well oxygenated, as higher temperatures can reduce the amount of dissolved oxygen in the water, something that can quickly affect the health of your fish and overall pond balance. At Maidenhead Aquatics, we understand how important it is to maintain a healthy environment for your aquatic life during hot spells, which is why we offer a wide range of exclusive pond pumps, available in a variety of sizes to suit ponds both large and small, designed to improve water circulation and boost oxygen levels efficiently. Whether you're upgrading your current setup or starting fresh, our pumps combine reliability, performance, and value to help keep your pond in the best condition all summer long.
