What exactly are floating aquatic plants?
Floating aquatic plants are plants that swim freely - either on the water surface or under water. This means that, unlike other aquatic plants, they do not take root in the bottom of the pond.
How floating plants prevent algae
In fact, floating plants make a significant contribution to protecting the garden pond from algae and generally keeping it clean. They absorb excess nutrients from the water through their roots and thus deprive algae of their livelihood. In addition, floating aquatic plants release oxygen into the water through their greenery. This cycle has a positive effect on the balance in the pond.
