Submerged oxygenated plants are the most important and functional water garden plants in your pond. Oxygenated plants helps by consuming mineral salts dissolved in the water which is one of the main causes of green water.

As by-product of chemical process in plants, they produce oxygen, under the influence of light, but those which have their foliage on or above the water surface release it into the air. These ability of submerged oxygenated plants to produce abundant oxygen , also makes submerged oxygenated plants invaluable.
Submerged oxygenating plants have more factors needed to improve pool hygiene and balance. Despite all these good qualities they can take over your water garden in time and it’s very important to remember that they have little ornamental value.
