Frequently asked questions about Sumpfpflanzen
Marsh plants are aquatic plants responsible for purifying and filtering water in ponds. Thanks to their robust roots, they grow quickly and anchor themselves firmly in the pond bottom, from which they draw their nutrients. The marsh plants absorb waste products from the water, which will reduce nitrate and nitrite concentrations.
All of our pond plants are hardy, meaning that the aquatic plants are dormant in the fall and will bloom again in the spring. This makes our pond plants an investment you will enjoy for years to come.
Plants that thrive in marshy environments are generally adapted to wet soil conditions. They have the ability to grow in moist soils and can range from aquatic plants with floating leaves to marsh grasses and shrubs. These plants are adapted to high humidity and can survive well in these environments.
A water source with abundant nutrients and oxygen is beneficial for encouraging healthy root growth. For optimal development of both the roots and the plant itself, it is wise to utilize special nutrient soil or growth substrate. To prevent erosion of the soil, it can easily be protected with a layer of gravel.
Sumpfpflanzen, including riparian plants, flourish in the shallow, moist areas at the edge of a pond. They not only contribute to the aesthetics of your pond, but also play a crucial role in maintaining a healthy ecosystem. Despite their different names, these plants are essentially the same and provide valuable benefits to your pond environment.
That's not a problem! However, it is important to keep the marsh plants in a cool place, such as in the refrigerator. This will keep them dormant until you place them in the pond. Once they are in the pond, they will slowly begin to sprout and grow.
For marsh plants we recommend at least 2 baskets with 4 plants per square meter (8 marsh plants total). In addition, there should also be aquatic plants, oxygen plants and water lilies in the pond, a layer of porous pond substrate on the bottom and 2x per year pond bacteria added to the water.
Our online pond check describes step by step how many plants, substrate and bacteria are needed for your size pond. Do the pond check.

Marsh plants, also called riparian plants, filter water and increase biodiversity in your garden. Prune them once a year in the fall, after shedding seed pods. Cut the plants back to about 20 cm above the ground. For extra growth, you can also prune during the growing season so that the plant draws more nutrients from the water.
Loose bog plants and plugs are best planted in pond substrate. This substrate provides a solid base for the roots, retains nutrients and provides a natural environment for the plants to develop well.
Place the plants in a layer pond substrate on the bottom or in plant baskets, so that the roots can attach well and the plants get enough nutrients. This not only helps to firmly establish the plants, but also ensures that the water quality remains naturally balanced.
