Pond plant advice

Buy pond plants

A pond without pond plants? Indispensable, because these plants keep the water in biological balance and ensure that water remains clear and algae-free. In fact, algae grow less because of the substance that plants excrete into the water. Besides purifying and filtering, the feature of these plants is that they are hardy, meaning they survive in frosty weather conditions. So you can enjoy flowering plants again in the spring!

To keep water quality in balance, you can choose from a variety of pond plants. At van der Velde aquatic plants, we sell more than 60 species of pond plants in basket fresh from our own nursery. As a result, we offer a 100% growth and flowering guarantee. After creating a pond, you would like to start planting quickly. For this purpose, Simon has created special complete pond plant packages.

What types of pond plants these are:

  • Water lilies; a feast for the eyes! With an assortment consisting of different flower colors and with leaves that block sunlight and provide shelter for fish.
  • Oxygen plants; the name says it all as they give off oxygen. Oxygen pond plants also filter and purify the water. Ideal for a natural pond, as it eliminates the need for a pump and filter. Buying pond plants oxygen plants is an absolute must for every pond.
  • Swamp plants; when putting together the pond plant package, swamp plants pond plants complete the pond. You place them just beyond the pond edge where the marsh area begins. Our assortment consists mainly of flowering pond plants and native pond plants.
  • Riparian plants; A riparian plant is a plant that grows naturally in shallow water and along the edges of pond, rivers and other waterways and has a strong filtering function.
  • Floating plants; these floating pond plants have roots that purify the water. In addition, their leaves block sunlight to prevent warming of the water.
  • Aquatic plants; the synonym for pond plants. This includes all of the above species and together they provide a biological balance. Pond plants aquatic plants are tall pond plants often placed between -20 cm and -40 cm deep in the pond.

How to place a floating pond plant

Once the order arrives in your home, the installation of a plant paradise can begin. Different types of plants are placed in a specific spot in the pond. Each product in our assortment lists the maximum depth and growth height and where the plant is best placed. Please keep this in mind.
