PLANTING SUBMERGED OXYGENATOR PLANTS -

These do well if you have gravel in the bottom of your pond. Just clump the roots in a bunch and push gravel over them. If you have no gravel you can get some lead sinkers at the sporting goods department and then put a rubber band loosely around a few plants and then crimp a fishing weight onto the rubber band and drop the plant bundle where you wish. They will feed just fine off of the nutrients in your pond water, especially if you have fish that produce waste. Another option is to find some shallow plastic trays. Make a mix of dirt and gravel and plant the submerged plants into it and then lay it in your pond bottom. There are a lot of creative ways to plant these plants from simple to complex. Your imagination is your guide to how you want to use them.
