These tropical orchids are famous for their bright, showy flowers that come in a variety of colors. While the general meaning of the orchid ranges from charm and beauty to sophistication and fertility, these stunning flowers are perfect for any occasion, even just to bring joy. A well-maintained Phalaenopsis orchid (one of the most common species) can bloom for up to four months. The popular Phalaenopsis orchid is one of the easiest orchid varieties to grow as a houseplant and is often referred to as the beginner's orchid for its docile nature or the moth orchid for its flower shape. The most popular orchids on the market, members of the Phalaenopsis family, grow on larger plants and trees and absorb moisture from the air just like their roots. For example, phalaenopsis orchids are usually grown with rough bark, cattleyas with medium bark, and young orchid plants are best grown with thin bark. There are several types of growing media that can be used to grow orchids: mahogan...
To green your pond, use pond plants, underwater oxygenation plants, and water lilies to create a healthy pond environment. Submerged aerobic plants will create a healthy oxygenated pool for fish and wildlife to thrive. Floating garden plants are an important part of a healthy pond because they help cover the water surface and provide much-needed shade to the water below.
Aquatic plants include floating plants, such as water hyacinth and lettuce, whose roots hang above the water; underwater plants that live at the bottom of water bodies and release oxygen to the water, such as valerian and snapdragon; swamp plants around ponds, such as cattails and irises; water lilies and lotus flowers, creating spectacular surface colors and underwater shadows. Deepwater plants are those that grow on deep shelves or at the bottom of a pond, but unlike oxygenators, most of their leaves are on or above the water's surface. Like oxygen-saturated and floating plants, deep-water plants don't grow outside of ponds, such as in damp flower beds or swamp gardens—they need water on the ground to grow.
Oxygenating plants can live on deeper shelves or at the bottom of a pond, or even float in the water in a suspended state - they will grow at any depth where there is light. Floating pond plants don't need to be planted - just place them on the surface of the water and let them float there. Water beautifies any garden, and there is a wide variety of aquatic plants that thrive in a pond, whether they are completely submerged, floating on the surface, or growing at the edge of a pond, such as the fringes.
Useful marginal plants are plants such as water lilies and many other plants with floating leaves and flowers that can be planted anywhere in the pond. They serve as a refuge for fish and produce oxygen, and their beautiful flowers often decorate the surface of the pond. Established aquatic plants stabilize the shoreline and pond bottom, bind plant nutrients thereby reducing algal blooms, help the water clear more quickly after rain, produce oxygen, and provide food and habitat for the many life forms that live in and around the pond.
In deeper waters, you can use treats like the sweet-scented water hawthorn with exotic orchid-like flowers. In liner ponds, marginal plants should be planted in special water containers with the working sides of the grid covered with a microgrid. Plant a few marginals at the edge of the pond, add colorful water lilies or even lotus, add floating plants like water lettuce, and add underwater plants to oxygenate the pond. It is also important to use special water compost that slowly releases nutrients to prevent excess nutrients from entering the water, encouraging algae growth and greening the pond. If you don't have a couple of waders, placing deep water plants can be tricky.
