MANY OF THESE PLANTS ARE EXCELLENT FOR KOI POND PLANTS TO HELP IMPROVE THE LOOK AND WATER QUALITY.
FLOATING POND PLANTS
One of the biggest advantages of putting floating plants in your pond is they soak up nutrients that otherwise go toward algae growing. They are great around lily pads and near the edges of your pond, so they don’t get caught up in your filtration system. The shade that floating plants also cast helps ward off algae and benefit any fish living in the water too.
BOG POND PLANTS
Bog plants or marginal plants are plated around the edges of your pond in the shallow water areas. Bog plants vary greatly in size, shape, and color. This gives pond owners a wide variety of looks they can create for their pond. Some of the most notable bog plants are the Iris and Canna. Both of which come in a wide variety of colors to custom match your pond preferences.
OXYGENATING POND PLANTS
Oxygenating plants help keep the pond cleaner and avoid some of the algae that’s prone to grow in ponds. These plants soak up the nutrients and oxygen that algae needs to grow and when combined with your regularly pond maintenance keep it looking cleaner for longer. They do assist in introducing oxygen for any fish you have in your pond, but do not replace the need for an electric aerator. Notable examples of oxygenating plants are Hornwort, Fanwort, and Eelgrass. While these plants help add oxygen if you’re using your pond for fish you’ll still need to use an electric aerator. This will provide enough oxygen in the water to support significantly stocked ponds or larger fish.
