Choosing aquatic plants for the biolake

Colourful water lilies that float on the water surface, delicate lotus flowers and submerged plants that help to keep the water “healthy”: to be sure of making a wise choice, the selection of the types of plants for the biolake should be advised by an expert, to prevent one plant from prevailing on the other and affecting the balance of this microcosm.

The main types of aquatic plants that can be included in a biolake are the following, each with its own features:

• submerged oxygenating plants, which are useful for releasing large quantities of oxygen into the biolake, which keeps the water clear, because it helps to control the formation of single-celled algae, which give the water its typical green colour;
• shade plants, whose large leaves on the surface protect the biolake from the sun rays, keeping the water fresh and clean;
• marshy bank plants, which are essential for the phyto-purification process.

The plants in the biolake require small seasonal adjustments so that they can regenerate and keep the biolake in optimal condition.

In particular, in spring it is important to check for dead leaves and, if necessary, to remove them, as well as to ensure that no plant prevails on another, thus compromising the well-being of the biolake.
