Water Lettuce
Water Lettuce...yum. This plant is one of the fastest, surface covering pond plants available. It grows so fast that it is illegal to sell in certain states. If you want a cool looking "cover plant' for your own garden pond, water lettuce is that plant. The roots hang down in to the water providing shelter for not only fish but other beneficial micro organisms for you pond.
Because Lettuce grows ABOVE the water, it "works" for you. (Plants that grow above the surface use more CO2 and get more light than plants grown below water.) Water lettuce is a filtering plant, the upper part grows like crazy as it helps remove waste from your pond. We are selling one nice huge one or a few small ones. Water Lettuce grows fast and works hard. - Get some Water Lettuce.
Customer Reviews
Ordered water lettuce for my 20 gallon long tank.. it came in great packaging and great care. Some of the roots fell from shipping and that was okay, that is normal.But they look healthy and i'm excited to see them multiply.
The plants i ordered took 3 1/2 days to get to me. I completely blame UPS for this and not Dustins. I am glad I ordered the cold pack, I don't think the plants would have survived without it. The water lettuce has some yellowing, but I am hopeful it will survive!
I'm so very satisfied with the purchase! The water lettuce is huge with thick long healthy roots!! The delivery guy left my package in the middle of my driveway but they still look healthy.
I received 1 huge rosette with an outstanding amount of long roots. Clearly a mature plant. The usps ruined that with their ridiculous delays. Everything fell off while rinsing, with exception of 3 feathery roots. I honestly am not even sure if they're attached...i didn't want to pull at them to find out. I snipped the melted leaves off at the crown which nearly halved it in size. You can tell this was a big beautiful rosette when originally packaged. I'm hoping it survives the shipping debacle. To be clear, not Dustin's fault! Everything I've read said to not fertilize this week and give it a longer photo period under my lights to jump start it, so I'm hoping I can save it 😊 my pearl gourami was super happy to see a floater in the tank finally lol.
I purchased this plant and another for an outdoor wildlife pond. These came to me with lightning speed looking super healthy and green with huge roots! I couldn’t be happier!
