How to make a pond in the country fabulous?
A pond is a common element of landscape design of garden plots.
The pond is able to enliven any garden, give it an original look, and on hot summer days create a pleasant coolness and humidity, in general, be a wonderful place to relax.
However, in order for this to be exactly the case, it is not enough to build a pond in the country, it is necessary to breathe life into it – plant plants and launch fish.
In our article, we will talk about plants for a pond in the country.
Landscaping is used not only as a decorative element, but also to maintain the biological balance in the reservoir.
It is the plants that saturate the pond with oxygen, decompose harmful impurities and prevent the overgrowth of mud.
Also, landscaping will help the fish to overwinter in the pond, if they are available.
Let's figure out what flowers are planted in suburban reservoirs, how to properly place and plant them, what should be their care.
Depending on the growing conditions in the aquatic ecosystem, the following plant species are conditionally distinguished
1.
DEEP SEA
DEEP SEA PLANTS grow at a depth of (0.3-1 m).
These include a lotus, a water lily, an aponogeton, a cup, a nymphaeum, an orontium, a mulberry.
Using the example of the most common flower for a pond in the country – water lilies (nymphaea or water lily), we will tell you about the features of planting and growing this group of plants.

Water Lily
The plant is represented in 35 species.
There are winter hardy types of water lilies (resistant to negative temperatures) and tropical (not resistant to low temperatures).
If you are a citizen of Russia or another country in a temperate climate zone, then you should choose winter hardy types of deep sea plants for a dacha pond.
For water lilies, these are such types as: snow white water lily, white, dwarf, tetrahedral, fragrant, hybrid, etc.
We recommend that you read detailed information on each specific plant species in the botanical reference book, encyclopedia or on the global Internet before purchasing.
Water lilies are planted in the soil of the reservoir (more than 30 cm thick) or in special containers (it is convenient to transplant, clean in winter).
The soil in the container is old compost with an admixture of sand and earth from the garden.
As fertilizers, you can use bone meal placed under the rhizome of the plant during planting.
The plant is placed in the ground, without immersing the growth bud.
The surface of the soil in the container is covered with gravel to avoid blurring.
The plant is placed in the central part of the reservoir so that the leaves of the water lily float on the surface of the reservoir.
The depth depends on the plant variety and ranges from 15-25 cm to 70-100 cm.
Water lilies develop better near light and heat.
In order to accelerate the growth of the plant in the spring, it is planted to a shallower depth, and then moved to the recommended depth.
During the period of active growth, the leaves may be under water during transplantation, but after 2 days they will look out again to the surface.
It is preferable to plant plants in the spring, then they take root better and grow faster.
The water temperature should not exceed 8 ° C.

2 .PLANTS FLOATING ON THE SURFACE They do not need soil.
Their nutrition occurs due to useful substances dissolved in the water of the reservoir.
Such plants also contribute to the purification of the reservoir.
These include azolla, vodokras, water nut, wolfia, hydrocleis, pitia, duckweed, water hyacinth, etc.
The most common plant for a pond in the country in this group is a water hyacinth or eichornia.
Water hyacinth is planted in June, and in early autumn, before the first frosts, the plant is transferred to a room (an aquarium with lighting or wet sand), since this plant is not resistant to low temperatures.
Full fledged growth is provided by a warm climate and good nutrition.
The most abundant flowering is in August and September.
This plant has a very important function for the ecosystem – it processes organic impurities and pollutants, so its planting will not only decorate your pond, but also contribute to its purification.
3. OXYGEN GENERATOR PLANTS PLANTS are OXYGEN GENERATORS they abundantly absorb carbon dioxide, releasing oxygen into the reservoir, thereby preventing contamination of the water space and its overgrowth with mud.
These include rdest, hornwort, urut, elodea, etc.
Hornwort
This is the so called underwater Christmas tree, a beautiful ornamental plant, fast growing.
A perennial aquatic plant.
The depth of its growth varies depending on the conditions (the maximum is 9 m).
This is a shade loving plant (it dies in bright light).
There is no root, special branches penetrate into the ground.
This plant is an ideal food for fish and other living inhabitants of reservoirs.
The leaves of the plant in the process of growth absorb carbon dioxide, nitrites, nitrates, phosphates, etc.in large quantities, which makes it indispensable for an artificial reservoir.
In winter, when the water temperature drops below 14 °C, the hornwort dies, but its shoots with buds sink to the bottom of the reservoir and perfectly winter there.
The plant develops better in warm water, so the plant is planted and transplanted during the spring summer period.
An adult plant can withstand a wide range of temperatures.

4.
COASTAL PLANTS These include: calamus, ammania, whitefly, bolotnik, bolotnitsa, vallisneria, watch, milestone, water pine, highlander, decodon, iris, St. John's wort, kaluzhnitsa, reed, cypress, krinum, lobelia, mannik, myta, narcenium, forget me not, porucheynik, preslia, sedge, cattail, sitnik, susak, euryale, chastukha, reed, etc.
Iris
Iris has a wide species spectrum.
This is a perennial plant.
Color starting from yellow and ending with bright purple.
They look very nice in artificial water systems.
Plants can be transplanted throughout the entire growing season.
The planting depth is 5-8 cm.
Bright lighting is important for them (6-8 hours of direct sunlight).
The soil requires constant moistening.
For the winter, the plant is covered with spruce spruce branches.
In the coastal zone of the reservoir, flower stalks develop up to 1.2 m in height, the flowers of which reach 20 cm in diameter.
They prefer slightly acidic waterlogged soil.
5. PLANTS FOR THE DESIGN OF THE SHORE These include: avran, anemopsis, astilboides, brunner, bagulnik, verbenik, veronica, volzhanka, highlander, gubastik, derbennik, iris, kupalnitsa, lichnis, lobelia, primrose, core, ostrich, tradescantia, helone, hosta, chistous, etc.
CALCULATION OF THE NUMBER OF PLANTS FOR A POND IN THE COUNTRY
It is believed that for the comfortable growth of plants, the pond should be covered with vegetation no more than 1/3-2/3 of its total area.
Pond lilies predominate in the landscaping of the pond.
They are placed in the center of the reservoir and the overall composition, as they delight the eye with abundant flowering during the summer.

yellow water lilies
Lilies are planted in a potted pond.
In the open ground, they also grow perfectly.
When planting, the average area of one lily is taken into account, which is about 0.5 m2.
You can complement the composition of lilies with the help of floating plants: water hyacinth, water nut, pitia, etc.
The number of aquatic and underwater plants per pond is taken at the rate of 5 pcs.
/ m3.Coastal plants play an important role in maintaining the biological balance in the reservoir.
Since the roots of these plants are in the water, and the tops are above the water surface, in winter, such plants will continue to enrich the water with oxygen.
Coastal plants should be planted in water (up to 25 cm deep).
They also feel great in the wet ground on the shore of the pond.
HOW TO CARE FOR PLANTS FOR A POND IN THE COUNTRY
Care materials:
pond scissors pruner tongs net
Yellowed or browned leaves that have lost turgor (withering) should be cut off.
To do this, lower the pond scissors 20-30 cm below the water level, cut off the leaf and remove it from the pond with a juice.
In the spring, pollen, down, flowers and dry scales of birch catkins fall on the water mirror and prevent the flow of oxygen and light to plants and fish.
Such garbage must be periodically removed with the help of sochka.
They do the same with autumn leaves.
Various shallow water plants (sitnik, reeds, etc.) are not cut off for the winter, since their dried stems are a conductor of oxygen under the ice.
Cut the stems in the spring.
For the care of plants for the pond in the country there are a lot of developed biochemical preparations and fertilizers.
These products change the water quality, composition, hardness level, increase the amount of nutrients, etc.
The dosage of the subcortex should be carried out strictly according to the instructions on the package.
