If you’re looking for a low-maintenance option for adding plants to your pond, then look no further than our collection of floating plants at Pond Planet. Floating plants for ponds do not require any planting as the name suggests; they simply float atop the water surface. They are an important addition to your pond as they provide shade for fish in the water and offer an attractive resting spot for other wildlife. Why not explore our range of available water lilies to compliment the floating plants and complete your pond landscape with additional plants from our wider available collection.

The benefits of floating pond plants

Floating pond plants are the perfect solution for covering the surface of your pond without requiring planting in the soil. They help prevent algae growth by shading the water and reducing sunlight. Plus, they absorb excess nutrients, which can otherwise lead to murky water. Species such as Water Lettuce and Frogbit are highly effective in maintaining a healthy pond environment.

Enhance your pond with floating pond plants

Floating pond plants are also a haven for wildlife. The floating leaves provide a natural habitat for pond creatures, from tadpoles to insects, creating a thriving ecosystem. Whether you have a small ornamental pond or a larger wildlife pond, floating pond plants are a practical, low-maintenance option that enhances the health and aesthetic of your water feature.
