Oxygen Plants

Oxygenating plants are a must for any pond! Sufficiently oxygenating underwater plants in the pond will keep you from needing a pump and filter. Oxygen plants filter the water and block the sun. This causes the water to heat up less which results in less algae. Oxygen plants also provide shelter for fish from impending danger. All our oxygen plants are hardy and are supplied from our own aquatic plant nursery with a 100% growth and flowering guarantee.

Buy underwater plants pond

Underwater plants play an essential role in the oxygen content of the water, hence the name oxygen plants. This is because these underwater plants release oxygen into the water. Oxygen-rich plants are indispensable if you want to keep your pond clean and free of algae. In addition to giving off oxygen, oxygen plants also have a filtering and purifying function, removing harmful substances from the water. Thanks to these important functions, they help maintain clear pond water.

Placing oxygen-rich plants in your pond also helps reduce the warming of the water by sunlight. This slows the growth of algae, since algae thrives in polluted and warm water. Want more information about building a pond? Then take a look at our page: All about building a pond.

Underwater plants ideal for mirror pond

Underwater plants are ideal if you have a reflection pond and want to keep it tight but you want to provide the pond with aquatic plants so that the pond remains clear and balanced. The advantage of underwater plants is as the name suggests that they do not rise above the water surface so your reflection pond retains its sleek appearance but remains healthy because the water is supplied with oxygen.

Underwater plants in the pond for more oxygen

Underwater plants are absolutely essential to any pond. These oxygen-producing plants play a crucial role in maintaining a biological balance in the pond. Having enough of these aquatic plants contributes to clear pond water. But that is not the only benefit of placing underwater plants in the pond.

These plants also serve as hiding and breeding places for marine life, including fish. They provide protection and a safe environment for various pond inhabitants. If you are looking for the best oxygen plant for your pond, Hornleaf (Ceratophyllum demersum) is an excellent choice. Not only does this plant provide shelter for aquatic life, but it also makes the water nutrient-poor, thereby fighting filamentous algae.

Underwater plants for ponds and aquariums

Waterweed (Elodea canadensis) is a coarse-leaved oxygen plant that does not spread aggressively. It is a fast-growing plant suitable for both ponds and aquariums. An interesting fact and great advantage of waterweed is that you only need to purchase it once, as they are hardy pond plants. Waterweed can be easily pruned by cutting the plant at the bottom, but pruning is not necessary.

For oxygen plants in an aquarium or fish bowl, the Marimo moss ball (Chladoflora aegagropila) is an extremely popular choice. This unique oxygen plant can live up to 100 years.

Which pond underwater plants to choose?

Choosing the right underwater plants for the type of pond you have can be a challenge, but there are many options available. There are plants that are suitable for both shallow and deep water, and there are pond plants that can tolerate different types of water conditions. Some popular underwater plants include the water lily, hornwort, featherweed and waterweed.
