Are your pond plants growing so fast too? There's been plenty of rain alternating with beautiful sunny days, perfect growing weather. And then there's June, also known as the growing month. So pay extra attention to the plants around and in your pond.

Pond plants are overgrowing your pond

The plants in and around your pond grow en masse towards the water's surface. If you don't thin them out in time, you'll no longer see any fish swimming! Prevent the water's surface from becoming overgrown by thinning out your pond plants. You can also opt for a plant filter to keep your plants neat and tidy and act as an additional filter for your pond.

Pollen and other substances can also cause the water surface to become unclear. If you experience a lot of pollen and/or dust, consider having a pond skimmer To install. A skimmer is a surface filter, and the name says it all: it filters the water surface. Some good skimmers for your pond are the SuperFish PondSkim, Velda Pond Skimmer, and the Oase SwimSkim.

Trimming lily leaves

The lilies will also grow rapidly in the coming period. If the lily leaves grow too close together, they will stick out above the water. This makes them more susceptible to lily beetles and increases the risk of death. Therefore, try to trim the lily leaves well so they remain below the water level.
