Oxygenating Pond Plants

Why Oxygenating Pond Plants Matter?

Oxygenating pond plants are important because they help maintain healthy oxygen levels, improve water quality and support pond wildlife. By releasing oxygen through photosynthesis, these underwater plants reduce stagnant conditions and help limit algae, creating a more balanced pond ecosystem.

Native oxygenating pond plants such as Hornwort are available for most of the year, with varieties including Willow Moss, Water Crowfoot and Starwort becoming available through spring and summer, some producing small flowers above the surface.

Oxygenating pond plants also provide essential habitat for pond wildlife, with invertebrates, frogs and toads using the foliage for shelter and protection.

Our oxygenating pond plants are supplied bunched, loose or potted, with planting depth and quantities varying by type. For further information, please see our pond planting guide.
