How Can Floating Aquatic Plants Help Your Ponds?

April 7, 2023 // By Scott Brown
Floating aquatic plants can be a very effective way of adding filtration and surface coverage to a water garden. Since these are free-floating plants (having no roots anchored in soil), they draw 100 percent of their nutrients directly from the water, feeding on nutrients that would otherwise feed algae.

Depriving algae of necessary sunshine is the best cure for a green pond. Floating aquatics are great at helping a water gardener naturally discourage and starve algae, keeping the pond from turning green. The floaters also help by providing some shade, which in addition to helping to prevent algae growth, also benefit the fish in the pond.
