Emergent plants are those that root in the bottom of the pond and grow up through the water, with their stems, leaves, and flowers often extending above the water’s surface. These plants are among the first to start growing as the weather warms up in the Southeast.
Submerged plants grow entirely underwater and are essential for aerating the water and providing shelter for fish. These plants usually start growing a little later than emergent plants because they rely on warmer water temperatures to kickstart their growth.
Floating plants are those that float on the water’s surface, with their roots hanging down into the water. These plants can start growing in spring and continue to thrive throughout the warmer months.
Understanding the growth cycles of pond plants is crucial for effective detention and retention pond maintenance. For pond owners who find it challenging to keep up with the growth and management of aquatic plants, Aquatic Restoration is here with affordable and reliable service.
