A landscaping pond has many advantages. They add beauty to your home and landscaping. Additionally, they can improve the quality of the water that your garden relies on. In fact, if you have a nice pond, it will attract birds, fish, frogs, and other wildlife.

How do I know this? The use of landscaping ponds is only part of the story. If you want your plants to be healthy and beautiful, they need to receive the right amount of water.

Sometimes, however, a gardener will notice that the pond plants are not as beautiful as they once were. That’s when they ask, “Why are my pond plants turning yellow?” Yellow is actually the color of dead plant material.

The most common answer is that they are dying. The answer is not always as simple. So, how can you tell if the plants in your pond are dying or just yellowing?

Plants tend to develop diseases over time. These diseases aren’t always obvious but can leave you wondering if your landscaping pond is sick. When the leaves begin to turn yellow and shrivel, it’s a good time to figure out what is wrong.

While it’s normal for pond plants to turn yellow over time, it doesn’t mean that they’re sick. If you notice that a plant is wilting, it’s usually because it’s not receiving enough water. It could also be because it’s dead.

So, how do you know if your pond plants are sick? You will have to find the source of the problem. Since the primary symptom of the disease is yellowing leaves, it may help to see if any of your pond plants are sick.

When you remove a dead plant from your garden pond, make sure that you properly inspect it for signs of disease. Although some diseases are pretty easy to detect, other types are not so obvious. One symptom that you should look for is wilting leaves.

Plants that are wilting or dead often have signs of overwatering. When leaves become brown and die, it’s because they’ve become dehydrated. Dried leaves are another indication of not receiving enough water.

You will also need to look for leaves that have been flattened by over-watering. If leaves begin to curl and break, they probably have lost too much water. When that happens, it’s time to stop watering the plants.

If you noticed that your plants began to turn yellow because they were dying, there is another sign that you need to look for: loss of water content in the roots. You should never water plants when their roots are below the surface. You should only water them when the leaves are fully developed.

That’s the golden rule of landscaping pond care. Look for wilting or dead leaves and roots. Cut off any excess water from the roots. If you’re unable to do that, it’s time to call a professional to help you with your pond’s landscaping.
