{"title":"Oxygenating Pond Plants - Weighted Bunches","description":"\u003cp\u003eWeighted bunches are one of the easiest ways to add oxygenating pond plants to a pond. Oxygenators help absorb excess nutrients, support clearer water, contribute to a healthier pond balance and create valuable cover for pond life. Many work primarily underwater, but some also bring extra visual interest, with species such as Water Crowfoot and Starwort adding attractive foliage, seasonal flowers or light surface cover in the right conditions. Weighted bunches are especially useful because they are ready to place, need no basket and can be moved easily as your pond develops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur Bunched Oxygenator of the Week is a strong value option, because we can choose the best-performing oxygenator of the week from the nursery at its seasonal best. If you would rather choose a specific species, you can do that too, though individual varieties cost a little more. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are unsure whether weighted bunches or basket-planted oxygenators are the better choice, see our guide to Bunched or Potted Oxygenators: Which Should You Choose?
