Description
Are floating plants good for my garden pond?
Yes, floating plants like Hydrocleys Nymphoides - Water Poppy, are great for keeping pond water healthy for fish and aquatic life. The floating roots are long and will trap and help break down waste and plant debris, as well as trapping small insects and creatures for fish to feed on. Floating plants also provide shade for the pond inhabitants, blocking sunlight to reduce algae growth. For a helpful guide on how to keep and maintain floating plants please click here.
