My superpower is killing plants. I have a month old well water filled epdm lined pond; 10 by 5 ft by about 2.5 ft at deepest point in zone 5 and it gets full sun throughout the day. Air temps here have been ranging in 40s-70 F for past week or so. This week I added about half a gallon bag full of azolla (from Arizona) and it mostly turned brown and appears to have died with only a few stray green spots left. At the same time I added some hornwort and bacopa, garden soil does run off into the pond at times but otherwise nothing else added. I'm not sure if I just shocked it or did something else to cause it to decide it didn't want to live in Michigan, does anyone have any experience with azolla/any ideas ?
