Plants in the Water Gardens

Several types of plants are used in the water garden, including deep-water plants such as water lilies. Water lilies provide colorful, fragrant additions to a water garden. They prevent oxygen loss from the water surface and keep the water cooler. Tropical lilies are more fragrant, have larger blooms, bloom more frequently and come in more colors than hardy lilies. Plant them when temperatures reach 75 degrees during the day and 65 degrees at night. They will die when frost hits, so they need to be stored inside or treated as annuals.

Tropical water lilies require a foot of water over the crown. They need at least four hours of direct sunlight. Either late afternoon or early morning sun is adequate.

Hardy water lilies bloom longer in our climate, but alternate several weeks of

“rest” with several weeks of bloom throughout the growing season. Plant them in 18 inches of water. Lotus is not recommended for aboveground containers. It needs 2-3 feet of water.

Submerged plants, also called oxygenators, are commonly used in large water gardens to clean the water by absorbing excess nutrients, slowing algae growth, and replenishing the oxygen supply. Floating plants, such as water hyacinths, floating heart, and floating water ferns also reduce algae growth.

Пояснения к тексту: fragrant – ароматный blooms – цветы hardy – выносливый

submerged plants – растения, погруженные в воду algae – морские водоросли

Fish and Snails in the Water Garden

After stocking the tub with plants, wait 4-5 weeks before adding fish. The plants must become established first.

Snails eat algae, fish wastes, and decaying vegetable matter. Fish help keep the water garden a healthy ecosystem. They trim excess foliage, and eat algae, mosquito larvae and other insects. Most aquarium fish are not hardy enough to survive in a water garden. A good rule of thumb is to use 1-2 inches (length) of fish for every square foot of water surface.

Gambezi, also known as the mosquito fish, are effective at controlling mosquitoes by feeding on the larvae. They are black fish that provide entertainment by flipping and jumping. They may even reproduce in water gardens. Over winter, keep them in an aquarium as they will not survive in a container garden.

Guppies will thrive in a small garden. Koi or goldfish are not recommended for a small water garden, as they can not tolerate the extremes in temperatures and gas.

If you don’t plan to overwinter fish in an aquarium, bait shop minnows provide inexpensive insect control. Various shiner and fathead or crappie minnows work well. Sucker minnows are not recommended.

Acclimate fish to pond life by floating them in a plastic bag in the pond for 1520 minutes. Fish will feed on algae and plants, but some people enjoy feeding them. This is fine as long as the food is limited so none is left to decay in the pond.

Пояснения к тексту:

stock – (зд.) (за-) наполнять decay – гнить, разлагаться excess foliage – лишняя листва hardy – выносливый

survive – выживать feed – питаться

overwinter – перезимовать
