I don’t know about yours, but my pond plants have been exceptionally beautiful this season! LOTS of lily blooms 🌸 and the lotus have come out strong! All the Aquatic Marginals have really flushed out, and there is so much lush foliage!
This has been a wonderful Spring season for Aquatic Plants! A little touch up now will pay dividends for the rest of the season! | Carters Nursery, Pond & Patio | Jackson, TN
My Pond Tip today – Keep your Aquatic Plants fed and trimmed.
Try doing these 2 things and you can thank me later 😊
#1 keep your lilies & lotus fed (fertilized) to keep them performing into late summer and fall. It’s very simple to do! Come by and grab a container of Aquatic Plant Fertilizer Tabs. One of us will show you how to poke em’ down into the root zone of the plant… and your done… It’s that simple 😊
AND #2 is to keep your aquatic plant growth in check! All this Warm weather has them growing like weeds 😊
selectively trim marginal aquatics to keep in check and to promote strong compact growth.
remove yellowed unattractive Lilly pads & spent blooms to Promote new growth and bloom.
Keep Waterfalls & streams free and clear of excessive plant growth and debris! A plant dam will cause a leak every time!
My aquatic plants have been so beautiful this year! But to keep them looking great they need a little TLC | Carters Nursery, Pond & Patio | Jackson, Tennessee
Believe me, a little plant trim and touch up now will pay dividends for the rest of the season! Get out there and enjoy 😉
