Oxygenating Pond Plants
These are one of the most important
pond plants you can introduce to any body of water! If you don't have
these plants, your pond can fail, not to mention look, and smell, like a
sewage treatment plant! The only alternative to using oxygenators is to
use expensive or unhealthy algaecides! These plants help clean the water,
remove algae, and promote clarity, produce oxygen to create good biological
balance! A must for all water gardens! A quick and good rule of
thumb is to use 1 bunch per sq. foot of surface area for your pond.
Take your pond's average length and times it by the average width, this
will equal the number of bunches you need for your pond. You can
also mix and match different species of plants for better variety.
Example: If you have a pond that is 5 feet long and 5 feet wide...5 x 5
= 25 bunches of plants.

Please order no less than 6 per variety. Each plant comes
in banded bunches.

Our
Oxygenating Submersed Pond Plants
Our
oxygenating plants are shipped as a "bunch" or "grouping"
(about 4-5 strands) with a lead weight. This helps to keep the bunch together
and anchor the plant to the bottom of your pond. The only exception is
Anacharis, which is usually bunched using rubber bands.
1. Plants
listed may provide filtration, remove toxins from your water, improve
water clarity, and actually provide oxygen to your water, which also
helps with water clarity and natural removal of toxic matter without
chemicals, and they also help combat algae growth by consuming excess
nutrients!
2. These
plants also provide spawning medium for many fish especially goldfish,
which lay their eggs in the plants, and when the baby frye (newborn
fish) hatch, they seek refuge in the plants to escape larger goldfish
and other predators.
PLEASE
ORDER NO LESS THAN 6 BUNCHES PER VARIETY
Our submersed
aquatic plants are ideal in ponds. Easy to plant; just drop them in
the water. It's that easy; no potting needed!
All of
these plants must be submersed below the water surface as they
do not grow above water. If a plant name has a **
next to it, it must also be initially submersed upon planting, but these
plants will have a tendency to grow and creep above the water surface
and onto the the ground surrounding the pond area for a very pretty
look. Other plants ideal for creating clarity that are above water creepers
are 4-Leaf Clover and Aquatic Mint.
