Rotting plants and fallen leaves can also provide nutrients for blanket weed in your pond. Make sure to remove any such debris from the water as soon as you spot it, as this will help prevent the weed from taking hold. 6. Ensure that fertiliser and debris do not wash off the ground during the rains

Remove any rotten vegetation, including dead leaves. Although these seem like small issues, they can unbalance the water levels again, boosting the nutrient levels.

Ponds that are excessively exposed to direct sunlight have a greater chance of suffering from Blanket Weed.

Not only does it look unappealing, but it can also overwhelm plants and pond life you may have in your garden pond. Blanket weed can be a sign of imbalance in your pond, so eliminating it before it takes hold is essential. Tap water is rich in minerals, so avoid using this to fill or top up a pond where possible and use collected rainwater instead We believe there are arguably too many solutions of how to get rid of Blanket Weed online and, not all of them are necessarily the right thing to do. For example, one obvious solution that may have crossed your mind would be to physically remove the Blanket Weed with a tool such as a Blanket Weed brush. We highly suggest you avoid this method, no matter how desperate you are. This is simply because pulling and moving the Blanket Weed encourages it to release spores in the pond water that will eventually result in even more Blanket Weed growing in the future. This applies to both the floating and submerges types. Rorippa Nasturtium Aquaticum or Water Cress as it is commonly known is an excellent choice if you have issues with blanket weed. This plant will only grow where there is a high level of nutrients in the water. When the balance is corrected, the plant will gradually shrink, helping you know you’ve achieved the right balance.
