How to care for water gardens.
Water gardens require a clean, water-free environment to grow. This means that the water needs to be clean and free of parasites, bacteria, and other contaminants. To keep your water garden healthy, you'll need to make sure the water is clean and free of dirt, gravel, rocks, or any other debris. You can also use a mulching tool to help cover the plants with soil so they can receive the full amount of sunlight. And every week, change the water in your garden by adding 1-2 cups of fresh cold water to it.
Keep the plants healthy
The health of your plants is important for your water garden too. You should take things like proper fertilization and watering attention into consideration when caring for them. In addition, make sure to keep their leaves and flowers healthy by regularly mowing or cutting them off if they become too lush or heavy.
