Aquarium Plants

Aquarium plants are a great way to add color and beauty to your water garden. Plants can be placed in the water or on the edge of the pond. There are many different types of plants to choose from, so you aren’t limited by what is available in your area. Let’s take a closer look at some of the most popular aquarium plants:

• Anubias Barteri
• Bacopa Caroliniana
• Cryptocoryne Wendtii Sunset Gold
• Java Fern

Water Lilies

Water lilies are one of the easiest flowers to grow. They are also very beautiful, and can be used in a variety of ways to create gorgeous flower arrangements or even just as standalone plants. They’re very easy to care for, too!

You may want to start with an aquatic plant kit that includes an assortment of species—this way you can experiment with what works best in your environment. Then once you know which types grow better than others, go ahead and buy individual plants from the store.

The easiest way to plant water lilies is by using a fish tank net (the kind that comes with aquariums). You simply push them into soft dirt at the bottom of your pond or lake garden until only about half an inch remains above ground level—this helps keep them from being able to float away too easily when they grow large enough!

Floating Water Plants

Floating water plants can be used for a number of purposes, including creating the impression of a natural river or stream. They are also excellent for creating the illusion that you have a lake garden when you’re not actually in one. Floating water plants look great in middle and background areas of your lake garden, especially if they are combined with aquatic plant species that grow on the bottom of your pond or aquarium.

Aquascape makes it easy to create beautiful water gardens using their wide selection of floating plant species, which include:

• Water hyacinths
• Anacharis

Perennial Aquatic Plants

Perennial aquatic plants are hardy plants that can withstand the cold temperatures of a lake or pond. They’re often divided into two categories: submerged and emergent.

Submerged perennials grow below the surface of your water garden and include things like lilies, lotus and iris. These plants have long, slender leaves that are usually tapered at the tip (like an arrowhead) or round in shape with smooth edges (like an oar).

Emergent perennials grow above the surface of your water garden and include things like fragrant spikes of flowers like cattails, wild rice, rushes and sedges. The stems on these types of plants are stouter than a submerged perennial’s but still quite flexible so they won’t snap if you accidentally step on them when getting out onto your dock or patio beside your lake!

Bog Plants

Bog plants are often found in marshes, fens, swamps and bogs. They thrive in wet, acidic soil that is boggy and low-lying. Some of these plants can also be found growing on the edge of a lake or pond.

Bog plants are typically hardy varieties that will not only survive but thrive in areas like this.
