| AQUATIC PLANT MANAGEMENT: Aquatic pond plants create a balanced ecosystem, provide an excellent source of oxygen, give coverage and shelter to your koi, can be used to redirect water flow, fight algae, and are a major component in the nitrogen cycle! If you do not have an UV Sterilizer added to your filter system, we recommend using a variety of aquatic plants to help prevent algae blooms. Pond plants fight algae by "starving" the algae from the nutrients it needs to grow. Pond plants absorb the minerals and carbon dioxide in the water, keeping the algae from taking root. Without a balanced ecosystem, or an UV sterilizer, your pond water can look like “pea soup” for months. Plant maintenance is necessary to prevent overgrowth. They can quickly take over your pond, causing harm to fish, pond imbalance, structural damage, or leaks. Dead foliage needs to be removed, roots need to be tended to, and repotting needs to occur to maximize blooms. Our favorite pond plants consist of floating, submerged, bog, lily, and lotus plants. |

FLOATING POND PLANTS: "Floaters" are floating pond plants. The leaves and stems float just below or on the surface of the water. Their roots grow underwater. They fight algae, provide shelter, and look great in waterfalls and header ponds. Types of pond floating plants include: Ferry Moss, Duckweed, Frogbit, Water Hyacinth, Pennywort, Sensitive Plant, Parrot’s Feather, and Water Lettuce. |

SUBMERGED POND PLANTS: Submerged pond plants are plants that thrive beneath the water surface. They grow well in gravel and feed off the nutrients in the pond. Fish love them, as they protect fertilized eggs during breeding season. Unfortunately, we strongly recommend not adding this plant to your pond. They grow rapidly, can completely take over your pond, and once introduced, it is nearly impossible to remove them. Types of submerged plants include: Anacharis, Hornwort, Vallisneria, and Cabomba. |

BOG POND PLANTS: Bog plants are also referred to as marginal plants. These aquatic plants are typically found on the edges of your pond, grow in shallow areas, prefer wet sloppy mudsoil, and add a lot of aesthetic beauty to the pond. There are various types of bog plants include: Cattail, Water Grass, Taro, Iris, Umbrella Palm, Fiber Optic, Golden Flag, Water Hibiscus, Papyrus, Cannas, Floating Hearts, Sagitaria, Forget Me Knot, Clover, Rush, Red Ruby Runner, Water Celery, Arrowhead, and Pickerel. |

WATER LILIES: Water lilies add an immense amount of beauty to your pond. Many people build ponds just to grow and harvest water lilies! The flowers come in a variety of colors and can give off a variety of intense, pleasant scents. Our favorite types of pond lillies include: Hardy Lillies, Tropical Lillies, and Water Hawthorne. We recommend fertilizing lillies 2x per month, during peak seasons, and repotting every 2 years. |

WATER LOTUS: Water lotus are, typically, everyone’s favorite aquatic plant. They arguably produce some of the pond’s most breathtaking blooms. Lotus’ prefer shallow water depths, just a few inches above the lip of the pot, lots of sun, and lots and lots of fertilizer. Sprinkly a little Ironite on their leaves to bring out it's richness. They thrive in water temps above 70ºF and bloom all summer long. Their flowers are brilliant, yet very delicate. |
