Water Ponds – Establishing Plants
For ponds, consider the mixture appears, submergent, and floating species. Plants appeared, those who have their roots in water but their shoots above water, can be added to the pool edge. This includes wetland plants (Typha spp.), Arrow (Sagittaria spp.), And water lilies (Nymphaea spp.). Submergent species, or those that remain under water such as elodea, are often used as oksigenator. These are plants that remove carbon dioxide from the water and add oxygen. Plants are very important in most ponds to keep water clear.
Floating species or those that are not anchored at all in the pond include plants such as duckweed (Lemna minor), water lettuce (Pistia stratiotes), and water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes). While attractive, water hyacinth and water lettuce can be a serious weed problem in the south, however, because they are not winter hardy, there is no problem with them spreading in northern climates. Although not as effective as oksigenator, these plants help keep water clear by limiting the amount of sunlight that algae receive. In the small pond that is made in barrels and packages like that, this plant may be enough to maintain clear water.
