The Benefits of Pond Plants Beyond

There are three types of pond plants that can be beneficial both for the appearance of your pond as well as the health of your pond.
The first types of pond plants are submerged plants. These plants grow beneath the surface of the water and add oxygen to the water. They also help to naturally filter the water to keep it clean and clear.

The second kinds of pond plants are floating plants. These plants also grow beneath the surface of the water, but they have leaves and flowers that float on the surface. Floating plants require calm water and a good amount of sunlight to thrive. These plants are also useful in ponds that hold Koi because they give fish shade and places to hide from predators.

Finally, there are marginal, or bog plants. These plants only require shallow water and thrive in muddy water. Usually, marginal plants are left in a container that is placed in water with the leaves and flowers growing above the surface of the water.

Whether you are looking for plants that will enhance the appearance of your pond or if you are looking for a way to supplement your current aeration and filtering systems, pond plants are an allaround great purchase for your pond.
