Various plants can thrive in ponds, including water lilies, lotus, cattails, irises, water hyacinths, and submerged oxygenators like anacharis or hornwort.
These plants provide oxygen, shade, and natural filtration, enhancing the overall health of the pond. Choose plants that are suitable for the depth of your pond and consider their growth habits to avoid overcrowding.
Additionally, consider the regional climate and the specific requirements of each plant to ensure successful growth and longevity.
