Lily Pads for Ponds, Artificial Floating Foam Lotus Leaves | 4 Size 28 Pcs Foliage Pond Decor for Pond Pool Koi Fish Patio Aquarium, Protecting Fish from Sunburn

I love these! They look very realistic and they offer my pond fish shelter. The package had several sizes and they last a long time, so far no issues with color fade or anything.

We're using these leaves in our naturalized pool because - between the turtles and the racoon - real lily pads don't survive long and the little frogs need a place to climb out of the water. These are perfect. I absolutely love them - I've bought two packages so far, and plan to order another soon. They look so pretty and realistic on the water, especially in groups, and are buoyant enough to support small frogs, etc. Mixing the four different sizes in this package gives them a lovely, natural look, and I especially love the 11"/28 cm size -- nice and big! They're so realistic the turtle has taken a chomp or two out of the smaller ones, and the racoon chewed up all three small ones I put in his mini-pond. (He'll have to make do with cabbage leaves from now on.) They may not last a dozen years, but they just make me happy.

I bought these artificial lily pads to help block sunlight from our koi pond, but they ended up piling on top of each other. I had to separate them every couple of days. On the bright side, the frogs loved them, lol!

I use these in the late fall to early spring in our ponds. Once the real pond plants and Hardy water lilies are done for the winter, the faux lily pads offer a nice protected area for the fish. I read about stapling them, but I was worried the staples might rust or could scratch a fish, so I hot glue a large group of various sizes together, and that’s worked pretty good. Sometimes the glued pieces break apart, buts it’s not a big issue. We get a lot of sun light and they do start to fade, but they don’t disintegrate and the fish don’t seem to chew on them, and the frogs like sitting on them. These leaves have kept the fish safe from the blue heron, so we think they’re worth every penny!

The sun is very hard on the color. Mine lost the bright green and now they look blue. They were continually getting in the skimmer, so I staples them together at the edges to make a large floating mass and it looked more natural and no more getting sucked into the skimmer.

I don't have a photo to share, but I use about three at a time. They float well, they are pretty, they seem durable, but something ate a small hole (could have been a wasp) in one. They give a place for bees, moths, butterflies, and wasps to land for a sip of water. I love these.

They work

Got these for our small pool/pond. So many sizes the smalled is the size of cd the largest the size of a dinner plate. And you get so many for 21 dollars. They look so real, keep our pond free of algae because they move around and block the sun. The fish love them. Will be ordering again for this price. Wish I knew about them with our last pond. Btw they do not come with flowers like the flowes show. But still worth the price
