Myriophyllum Spicatum

Myriophyllum Spicatum, or native featherweed, is an oxygen plant very suitable for the natural pond. This oxygen plant grows very quickly. This is because they self-root and absorb the required nutrients from the water bed. The plant can grow between 30 and 250 centimetres long. Myriophlyllum Spicatum is an aquatic plant with beautiful, dark red flowers. On average, these flowers appear between July and September.

In addition, this aquatic plant comes from the featherweed family, which is clearly reflected in its "pinnate" leaves. Since these leaves contain many chloroplasts, they are very useful as a supplier of oxygen to your pond. This benefits the inhabitants of your pond. Myriophyllum Spicatum also ensures that your pond becomes and stays clean, by competing with the algae. This is because, like the algae, Myriophyllum Spicatum needs the nutrients. As a result, the algae no longer obtain enough nutrients, and will be less visible. As a result, your pond will soon be back to normal.

Besides Myriophyllum Spicatum, there is also Oriental featherweed or Myriophyllum Scrabatum. Whereas the native Arugula is somewhat brownish in colour, the Oriental variety is bright green and has more exuberant leaves. Naturally, this species is also available from us.
