      I am not sure what material that is or its properties. Many folks use kitty litter in their water lily baskets.

      I am not familiar with that product, but do not see a list of ingredients to use to make a decision. Without knowing how it might affect fish, plants and aesthetics, I would stay away from it before I would put it in my ponds. I use plain yard dirt in my pots. No mulch mixtures, peat moss, vermiculite, etc. additives.

      Reading the info in the picture, it is diatomaceous earth, a natural silica substance that is used as a medium in hydroponic gardening and recommended by many as a soil amendment in terrestrial gardening. I see no harm in trying, but I'd start with "extra" lilies and maybe use it as an amendment and not the only medium.
