Marsh plants pond

Marsh plants, also known as riparian plants, are, as the name implies, aquatic plants that are in a marshy area. This means that these plants like to have wet roots.

Marsh plants purify and filter the water in ponds. By placing these grass- and reed-like plants, you ensure that the pond is complete. Thanks to their strong root systems, marsh plants grow quickly and root themselves firmly into the pond bottom, from which they get their nutrition. In addition, marsh plants are hardy. Hardy means that they can survive in cold weather with frost and do not require covering.

Maintain hardy marsh plants in the pond

The overgrowth of marsh plants requires maintenance so that they continue to do their job well and do not become feral. In the fall, the biggest pruning takes place and you remove excess growth from the pond. During pruning, you cut away dead parts of the plant. Remaining roots and leaves grow back in the spring as nutrients remain stored in the roots.

Because of the hardy characteristic of marsh plants, covering the pond is not necessary during the winter period. Want to prevent falling leaves from entering the pond during the fall? Then place a net over the pond that catches the leaves.

How do you plant the most beautiful native marsh plants?

Swamp plants, in addition to their purifying effect, are placed because they are so suitable as finishing touches to the pond edge. Right next to the pond edge, the wet bank, or marsh area, begins where these pond plants are placed. In this section, the plants can function best. In order for marsh plants to root well and stay wet, the soil should consist of wet soil or pond substrate. Just be careful not to place them too deep in the pond, or the marsh plants will drown and not survive.

For example, marsh plant water mint, which grows about 60 cm high and can be planted in a depth of up to -20 cm. At this depth, we recommend placing water plants in pond baskets, in order to keep plant growth in check. After filling a pond basket with your favorite marsh plant, simply place it at the appropriate depth in the marsh area.
