A dechlorinator can also be applied. Note properties with well water do not need dechlorination treatment. Plants not only soften the look and bring color to the Waterscape, they also serve an important role in balancing your entire ecosystem. Plants compete with algae for nutrients, such as nitrogen, phosphorous and ammonia. Plants benefit fish by reducing toxins and increasing oxygen levels during the day.
Lilies are one of themost popular aquatic plants for water gardening.
Their leaves and colorful blooms spread across the pond as they float on the surface of the water. Their ability to flower throughout the entire season makes them a very desirable plant for the pond. Hardy Lilies can remain in the pond year round. It dies off in winter and produces new leaves and flowers in the spring. Tropical Lilies can be planted when the water temperatures reach over 70 .
