I have a water poppy and golden moneywort in my small container pond that seem to be dying. Many of the leaves are rotting, turning brown and slimy. Yet at the same time there's a little bit of new growth, but more dying leaves than new leaves. Both plants are in pots.
I set the pond up a few weeks ago and have been changing some of the water out each week and refilling with treated water as I also have fish in the pond. The pond gets maybe 3 hours direct sunlight per day and so far only has a little algae.
Any ideas as to why my plants are dying and what I can do to save them? I've raised the golden moneywort up so the top of the pot is out of the water as I've read it's not really an aquatic plant and it grows near the edge of ponds. Not sure what to do with these plants. It's my first pond, first time growing these plants and I have a terrible green thumb. Help?!
