Pandan Harum... a Practical Plant for Pond.

Most garden owners wanted waterlilies in their ponds. It requires a bit of time and know-how to maintain waterlilies. In most cases, they died off or shrinked to pathethic looking plant after a couple of months or so. Unless you are a hobbyist and have all the time to 'tender loving care' your plant, otherwise try to consider other more practical plant in ponds.
One of the recommended plant for pond is pandan harum (Pandanus amaryllifolius). This plant might not be as attractive or flowers like waterlilies but it functions and thrives well in freshwater. The root system that extends into the water, absorb dissolved organic nutrients from it and thus in a way cleaning it. It releases nice aromatic smell very strikingly especially in the morning and also in the evening. No maintenance is required other than controlling its growth. Fertilizing is not necessary at all.
Each time you need pandan for your cooking........well, just walk to your pond with a pair of scissor.
