Pond Plants

30 Dec 2023

According to https://www.cal-ipc.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Dont-Plant-a-Pest-Aquatics.pdf there are some plants that I should not plant in waterways. I liked seeting water lettuce and water lilies in Taiwan. I see anacharis a lot in aquairums.

This is so complicated. Maybe I’ll just go to the supermarket and get some watercress to plant.
