How does winter pond care support healthy blooms in spring?

Winter pond care supports spring blooms by protecting plants and maintaining clean water that encourages vigorous growth when temperatures rise. Removing leaves reduces nutrients that promote algae, staging plants at correct depths prevents freezing damage, and maintaining oxygen levels aids root health. Ensuring pumps and filters are in good condition for spring start-up also contributes. These efforts create stable conditions for plants to emerge healthy and bloom beautifully in the growing season.
