☼ Feeding & Fertilizing

 Pond Plants are easy to grow and will thrive in small containers and large.  

 Submersible pond plants are important to a pond's ecosystem. Plants like anacharis and hornwort help to balance algae growth.  Anacharis and Hornwort also clarify and oxygenate the water.  It is important to have submersed pond plants in large ponds and small container ponds too.  Anacharis and Hornwort is also beneficial to pond fish.  Goldfish will nibble on anacharis and hornwort, but koi will devour the plant.  Anacharis grows best in partial to full sun and may go dormant in the wintertime. No fertilizer is needed to grow Anacharis and Hornwort.   

 SUBMERGED POND PLANTS  
 Anacharis
 

Anacharis  is a submerged plant that grows best left alone.  Weight a bunch down to the bottom of the pond with a ball of modeling clay and let it grow. By the second season, the anacharis should multiply and grow up to the water surface. Mature plants actually bloom tiny white flowers. Do not allow water to freeze. Anacharis can also be grown in a fish aquarium.
 Hornwort
 
Hornwort grows in a similar way as anacharis, but does not bloom.  Anchor a bunch down with a ball of modeling clay and let it grow. Hornwort is an excellent natural water filter.  Do not allow water to freeze. Hornwort can also be grown in a fish aquarium.
