Oxygenators

Every pond or water garden needs oxygenating plants. These plants grow under water similiar to the plants you see in natural ponds and lakes. Using these plants allows the excess nutrients from the water to be absorbed and liberate oxygen during the day. This will help to clear the water and help prevent the growth of algae. Oxygenators also provide an excellent spawning area for fish.
