Hi, I have a 12x7x2 pond approx 1150gal. Water looks good and fish seem
healthy but i have a problem of not getting enough surface coverage from
plants to ward off all the sun. The pond gets a solid 8hrs of full sun. I
have three hardy water lily plants and some hyacinth and water lettuce but
they don't seem to be spreading as good as I thought. And there are some
marginal plants too. Temporarily i have an beach umbrella over a section
to
help cover it. Any other suggestions? Thanks.......

At this point, probably patience. All the above will grow, especially if
they're nice and green right now (not looking sickly). Check the roots of
the WH to see if the fish are eating them and slowing their progress. ~
