Floating aquatic plants can be a very effective way of adding filtration and surface coverage to a water garden. Since the free floating plants, have no roots anchored in soil they draw 100% of their nutrients directly from the water, feeding on nutrients that would otherwise feed algae.Simply place these plants around your pond or in the bio-filter.
