It is with aeration, nutrients, and sunlight in clear, roomy water that pondweed can be grown.
Specifically, the term in question generally designates aquatic plants in the families Aponogetonaceae, Characeae, Hydrocharitaceae and Potamogetonaceae. The exact cultivation procedures can vary. But pondweed typically has to have access to:
- Aeration, through association with flowing streams and regular currents;
- Depths of 2 feet (0.61 meters) around the edges, with a gradual sloping downward to 4 feet (1.22 meters);
- Nutrients, through soil- and water-based organic matter;
- Space, for asexual reproduction -- through detached stalks, runners tubers -- and sexual reproduction -- through pollen flotation and seed dispersal;
- Sunlight, through waters whose bottom is visible from the surface.
Oxygenated water keeps food chains -- especially involving bacteria -- from becoming unbalanced. Proper organic content may be achieved by controlled fertilization, whose levels must not cloud water and thereby encourage algal blooms. Sunlight needs to penetrate waters all the way to the bottom in order to ensure proper photosynthesis by the pondweed in question.

Can pondweed survive in fresh-moving water?
Yes, pondweed can survive in fresh-moving water. In the specific case of curly pondweed (Potamogeton crispus), the type of aquatic plant in questions has the survivalist's advantage of adapting to deep or shallow, flowing or still waters.
Does pondweed have seeds?
Yes, pondweed does produce seeds for reproduction. The seeds are typically contained in small structures or capsules that are dispersed to grow into new plants.
Can you tell why we put pond weed in a fish tank?
Pondweed can be placed in a tank to create a pleasant scene, or to add extra oxygen to the water. The downside is that the pondweed could introduce fish diseases or water snails to the tank. Always use a special sterilising solution on the pondweed before introducing to the tank.

What colour would hydrogencarbonate solution turn with pondweed?
Hydrogencarbonate solution would turn yellow when pondweed is exposed to light and begins photosynthesizing. This indicates the production of oxygen gas as a result of photosynthesis.
Is the pondweed a producer?
Yes, pondweed is considered a producer. As a type of aquatic plant, it performs photosynthesis by converting sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water into glucose and oxygen. This process allows pondweed to create its own food, making it an essential part of the aquatic ecosystem by providing energy for herbivores and contributing to the overall oxygen levels in the water.
