For decorative design shallow water suited: vodokras froggy, Hévíz yellow (for water depths of 30-90 cm), rdest floating (for water depth of 0.5 to 2 m), white waterlily (depth can be from 75 to 100 cm), gases trehlistnaya, Highlander amphibian.

For planting aquatic plants at the bottom of the reservoir put rocks so there were veins, which can be specially prepared to pour in the ground. The soil for planting aquatic plants produce torfolistovoy mixture of sand and large (1:1). Top land nasypayut sand and plant trees between the stones, the top prisypaya small pebbles.

Much easier and more convenient to plant plants in containers that set in a specially made bed or improve education and strengthen their pebbles. This allows at any time to remove the plants, clean water. With the advent of cold water to be tried or exhaust, thermophilic plants moved into the room and plants, wintering in the wild, close lapnika layer or opavshey leaf (20 - 30 cm).
