Floating plants are good oxygenators and therefore very important in an aquarium. Also, these plants filter waste products from the water and provide shelter for fish. In addition, they look beautiful in an aquarium.
In addition to being used in an aquarium, floating plants also lend themselves perfectly to decorating a bowl or vase, for example. Suitable plants include the raft fern(Salvinia natans) and oxygen plant Marimo moss ball(Chladoflora aegagropila).
A popular species from the floating pond plant category is Crabgrass(Stratiotes aloides), a floating plant with sword-shaped leaves, native to Eurasia. This floating plant blooms from May to July with white flowers and is a popular oxygen plant in many ponds.
These plants absorb waste products and provide shade, so the water is less likely to heat up. Aquatic animals also find a place to shelter under floating aquatic plants.
The name says it all: floating plants are plants that float on the water. They are important oxygen providers and provide shade in the pond or aquarium. This is important to prevent algae growth.
Placing floating plants in an aquarium is definitely recommended. Besides producing oxygen and absorbing waste products, they also provide a hiding place for the fish present in the aquarium.
Some examples of floating plants that do well in an aquarium are: raft fern(Salvinia natans) and waternut(Trapa natans). These are fast-growing plants that can proliferate. Fortunately, you can very easily break up these floating aquatic plants and remove the excess.
Floating plants are easy to order online with us. They are delivered from our own nursery and carefully packaged to your home.
Planting crabgrass is done by placing the young plants near the pond side, among the riparian and marsh plants. Larger plants float in the pond. Crabgrass is a perennial plant that blooms in early summer. In the fall, the plant sinks to the bottom to overwinter.
