One of the most interesting features of a water feature is a paradise for plants. What if you convert a part of your terraces and down in a lovely pool or lagoon? It would be a great opportunity to plant your enthusiasm to expand with the addition of various aquatic plants and moisture loving.
The plants have the following roles for water games:
To keep the water healthy: The plants can effectively correct the role of a pump, filter or fountainmaintaining clean water in the pond. The plants put oxygen into the water under the water needed for fish. Maintaining the right balance in the use of aquatic plants is important to get clean water. Too many leafy plants can clog water, however, too few plants make the water muddy and green, and promotes the growth of green algae, because the sunlight penetrates easily in water.
Plants and cycles of food in the Water Feature: This is an application of "Symbiosis", where inPlants and animals benefit from each other naturally. Plants produce oxygen. (Note: only the green plants produce oxygen and make food for itself) plants make food through the synthesis of food directly from carbon dioxide using energy from light. Yellowish green leaves of the plants show a lack of sunlight. Oxygen is needed by living insects and animals. Carbon dioxide is necessary for plants, animals and insects, which in turn produces survival with oxygen from the plants. Now, the wasteMaterials from insects and animals are nutrients for good plant growth. During the decomposing plant residues and serve as food for snails and other creatures. If one party is dominant in the pond, which means too much algae, snails, or even many plants crowding, action is needed to correct the imbalance.
There are three types of plants you choose for your water features. These are plants, deep-water marginal plants and moisture loving plants.
Deep WatersPlants:
Water lilies are often the best choice for deep water purposes. There are several varieties depending on the size and depth of the pond water. Yet there are deep water plants, the roots grow deep under the water and foliage growing on the surface and under water. Others are just floating, and some grow just below the water surface. Growing plants under water oxygen in the water and serve as food and shelter for small creatures, but what about theAppearance embellishment, though just below the surface of the water?
Deepwater plant as plants?
Some plants such as oxygenators, floaters and do not require special preparation, you can just put it in water. Bare-root plants like water lilies need their roots in a plastic container with water, compost plant organisms are attached. Trash should be on a pile of stones or stone on the bottom of the pond. The submerged part of the plant of oxygen in water andScroll through the proliferation of algae control.
Marginal plants:
You can use the edge of the pond is relatively healthy banks, planting trees around him. In general, they grew up with a stable vertical position shallow roots. Some marginal grow with their roots in water, but there are some very well in the ground around the edge. Marsh plants are ideal for this purpose. Be careful not to be a marginal plant with strong roots and sharp pierce plastic waterproof coatings could be obtained.
AsMarginal plants work?
Planning is necessary to assimilate the distinction between the behavior and properties of plants and their visual impact. Some plants also have the mud and water. Water depth varies from 12 inches to ¾ inches. Plants with leaves are ideal for the shortest edge of the pond shelved. Set the plants more robust in the mud at the water's edge. It 's always best to try different positions before he should stay where they place.
MoisturizingLoving Plants:
Humid environment is the best place for moisture loving plants. As the moist and wet pond, these plants can be used to connect the pond with a waterfall or a lead-up to the rest of the garden. There is a difference between the marsh plants and moisture loving plants. The moisture loving plants alive, best in moist soil but not wet. Even if you can tolerate the marshland, which prefers not to be his best performance.
As the plantsMoisture loving plants?
Put the bed planting of organic materials that promote plant growth. If the soil is sandy, the addition of clay granules help. Take all necessary measures to prevent flooding. An effective way to test the suitability of an investment is to buy some samples and plants to see if they would do well in your garden.
