Request:
Oxygenating pond plant (Cosham PO6)
I’m in the process of cleaning out my little pond, which has got into rather a state. A miniature water Lily is now gigantic and has taken over. I had an oxygenating plant (I’ve forgotten its name) but that has disappeared. Has anyone got any oxygenating pond plants spare to requirements? (ideally in the Cosham area). Thanks.
