Water Lilies

Water Lilies A beautiful water lily (Nymphaea) with many flowers is the crowning glory of your pond. But they also have an important biological function. They take light away from the water, reducing algae growth. They absorb nutrients from the soil and light and water from the air so they leave the water undisturbed. Lilies […]

Oxygen Plants

Oxygen Plants Oxygen plants grow quickly and keep the pond clear and algae-free. They grow underwater and absorb nutrients from the water via the leaves and release oxygen. They are therefore an important basis for the natural balance in the pond and are extremely useful for keeping the water clear and healthy. The rate of […]

Floating Plants

Floating Plants Floating plants are ideal for new ponds because they remove CO2 directly from the air. They grow quickly and make few demands on water quality. Their value is mainly determined by their enormous growth capacity, even under conditions where oxygen plants fail. The group of floating plants is not that large, especially if […]

Bank plants

Bank plants Place riparian plants at the edge of the pond. Low ground-covering riparian plants camouflage the edge of the pond, while taller species provide volume and structure along the bank with their stems and flowers. They are a feast for the eyes. You can get them in different colors, shapes and sizes. The biological […]

Marsh Plants

Marsh Plants Because of the enormous variety of colors, shapes and sizes, you can use marsh plants to make your pond truly attractive. The biological function for the pond environment of a marsh plant is also mainly determined by its growth capacity. The more nutrients, the better they can grow, the more they provide oxygen […]

Half a century ago, the choice in this was still very limited and wild forms still prevailed in the supply (apart from water lilies, which were cultivated […]
