Which Aquatic Plants are suitable for Oxygen production?
Oxygen-producing aquatic plants
A sufficient supply of oxygen is essential for the water quality of your pond. If this does not happen via a pond pump or aquatic plants, algae can develop. There are several ways to ensure the supply of oxygen to your pond. On the one hand, you can use a pond pump, which supplies the pond water with oxygen just like an aquarium. Another way is to oxygen plants to your pond. This is not only a very organic way, but is also one that will brighten up your pond.
Which aquatic plants give off oxygen?
