Remove containers with water lilies from the pond.

Representatives of this group: marsh flower, water lily, aponogeton and the queen of ponds - water lily. Many people create ponds in their garden only because they really want to grow water lilies. We buy large water lilies in the nursery of Alexander Marchenko. They are sold in large pots, which contain food for 2-3 years. Water lily is a "glutton", it needs a lot of nutrients. Planting water lily in the ground is irrational, because in winter and summer it should be at different depths. To survive the winter well, it needs -90 cm (in the conditions of the Moscow region), and to grow and bloom better - 60 cm. When the water lily is in a container, it is very easy to move it around the pond.

When 3 years have passed, the water lilies need to be replanted, otherwise they will become smaller and bloom poorly. For this, we buy containers with specially prepared soil from the A. Marchenko nursery. The best time for replanting is May. In the photos below, you can see how the replanting process goes.

Procedure:


— Cut off the top layer with rhizomes.

— Assess how to divide the plant, taking into account the number of awakened buds.

— Cut the layer into several parts. Each of these parts can be planted in a separate container.

— Planting is not done in the standard way — by burying the slovenia mobile database in the soil, but simply by placing the rhizome on the surface. To prevent it from floating up, it must be tied with garden wire.

— A wire handle needs to be attached to the container so that it can be moved without going into the water.

The presence of aquatic plants in a pond helps to maintain the water's purity. Turbidity or "blooming" of the water is caused by microorganisms developing in the water column. Their activity is especially noticeable when we fill the pond for the first time. The water quickly acquires a "swamp" color and becomes opaque. The reason for this is the multiplied blue-green algae. In a few days, they will "eat" all the free nutrients in the pond and die of hunger. Their presence will only be indicated by a slightly noticeable coating on the bottom. From this time on, the water in the pond will remain transparent (repeatedly verified by personal experience), if new portions of food for microorganisms do not get there. You just have to wait a little. If you drain the turbid water and fill the pond again, everything will repeat itself.

Aquatic plants compete for nutrients with microorganisms that muddy the water. Only, unlike the latter, higher plants build their own with the help of these substances and the process of photosynthesis, thereby purifying the water. In addition, niches and pockets with coastal plants retain various organic waste that has entered the water, turning it into a nutrient substrate.
