6.Plants

Plants are a very valuable and important part of any water garden.

Hyacinth, Rush, and Water LettuceThey offer shade which helps keep the water temperature down and cuts down on light that algae needs to grow. They offer shelter to the fish in the pond, giving them a place to hide when they feel threatened. They absorb the nitrates in the water, helping the fish and the ecosystem. Marginal plants also add color and character to the pond. Please remove all dead plant life. As the leaves and stems decay, they serve as contaminates that will lead to poor health and death of pond life, they also look ugly.
