Greetings Water Garden lovers, Don't forget to check your ponds this fall and get them ready for winter. Here is your Fall Pond Care Check list! Fish The water temperature is starting to drop now. You can start to feed your fish less as we go into the late fall and winter. They cannot digest the food properly when the water temperature is cold. When the water temperature is below 60° do not feed more than 3 times per week and you should switch to the wheat germ food for easy digestion. When the temperature drops below 50° do not feed the fish at all until spring when the temperature returns and remains above 50°. Lillies You should have stopped feeding your plants by now. Remove any dead and dying leaves off your plants. The hardy lilies are about done blooming for the season. The tropical lilies will continue to bloom until we get cooler weather. When we get a frost it is normal for the leaves to turn a reddish color. The leaves on the lilies will get smaller as the plant goes dormant. Pumps Living in Floridais an advantage to pond owners. We do not have to turn off our pumps and stop enjoying our waterfalls. If fact we suggest you continue to circulate the water in your pond through the winter. It is not necessary to have a pond heater.
NewsWorhty John & Bev attended the Annual Pondapulusa this past August. They attended many seminars to learn the latest on water gardening in order to serve you better. They also ordered some amazing new fountains which you can find in the store showroom. John is also checking into a new company for the urethane type waterfalls.
