Selecting water garden plants


Pond  water plants for the garden pond


When buying garden pond plants check with the retailer ... how fast they grow and how big they will become. When small, water plants can be very misleading.

 Low cost water plants tend to grow big - a very general statement of course but bear it in mind. They are low cost because they grow quickly need less care and maintenance by the water plants grower. Floating water plants make excellent pond water nutrient scavengers.


Plants and algae (which are after all plants of a sort growing and multiplying by virtue of the photosynthesis process) in a pond compete for the available nutrients in the form of phosphorous and nitrogen containing chemicals. It follows that the more pond water plants there are then the greater the probability of reducing algae blooms.

Old and well planted stable garden ponds as a result tend to suffer less from algae problems than newly created young ponds.
