What are Different Types of Aquatic Water Garden Pond Plants
Marginal plants: These are water plants that happily grow and flower in the shallower margins of the pool environment. They generally sit quite happily sit in soggy soil, with the water level anything up to 10cm above soil level, depending on the species of plant.
Oxygenators or oxygenating plants: Any plants that grow under the surface of the water produce oxygen during the day. This is a natural by-product from the process of photosynthesis whereby the plant, from a reaction of the chloryphyll in its leaves manufacturers sugars used in growth. It also absorbs carbon dioxide from the environment to help with this process.
Bog plants are able to live in shallow water of muddy ground. They do not like to be dry for long.
