Crab crab. Floating oxygen plant with good properties.<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

This is a pond plant that one does not come across very often. A shame, because this floating oxygen plant has some particularly good properties! Crab apple looks a bit like a Yucca; it has toothed, sword-shaped leaves that grow partly below and partly above water and can reach up to 50 cm in length. Due to these serrated leaves growing in a rosette, this aquatic plant provides shelter for amphibians and fish. Like Hornleaf<\/a> <\/strong>this plant also provides protection for young fish and frogs.<\/p>

In the pond, Crabber has some great advantages. The plant is allelopathic. It secretes a substance that inhibits the growth of floating algae. In addition, it grows quickly and takes the nutrients needed for this growth directly from the water column. As a result, it additionally competes with the floating algae in your pond. Since this floating plant also blocks out sunlight, the algae have another formidable competitor! Well-known oxygen plants such as Waterweed<\/a><\/strong> are known for this algae-inhibiting effect. The advantage of the toothed leaves is that Crabber is mostly left alone by Koi and other carp-like creatures.<\/p>

A plus, of course, is its cute inflorescence with its white flowers.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Krabbescheer is a plant native to the Netherlands and Belgium. Because it grows in clean, not too nutrient-rich ditches and is sensitive to environmental pollution, this plant has been hit hard in recent decades.<\/p>

This is not down to the growth rate, by the way. Because this plant propagates vegetatively, a suitable ditch can become full in a single season! Incidentally, this vegetative propagation is a nice sight; each plant then carries one or two small Crabapple skulls with it.<\/p>

In late autumn, the plants sink to the bottom, where they remain throughout the winter before coming back to the surface in spring to continue growing.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
