Aldrovanda Cultivation: Water Clarity Issues

Question: Using plastic container with garden soil and sand, two water hyacinths. Water turns murky when adding water. How to clear?

Answer: Aldrovanda is not my specialty; see pitcherplant.org/aldrogrow.htm. For any pond, add circulation (air bubbler/small fountain) to improve clarity. Garden soil clay likely clouds water; aeration helps settle particles over time.

Good Growing!
