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
I received my package (3 items ordered), box was in good shape, but very hot. I opened it up to find a silver bubble wrap envelope that too was hot. I thought to myself oh dear, and I opened the envelope to find a plastic bag of hot yellow ish plants packed in warm water. The dry ice plastic debris was flat and warm. I quickly opened the individual plastic bags and removed the mushy yellow parts, ran under cool water and then put in my outdoor pond. I will monitor over the next week, but overall I’m not impressed.
They added pizza to my tank. They float nicely. Adds a different demention to my tank.
Received during a very hot week, backed with dry ice, threw in my fish pond, doing very well.
Wonderful plant. Very healthy and a perfect size. Roots on it are amazing. I definitely need to purchase more.
My water lettuce was massive! I had a giant one, a decent medium ish one, and a couple babies hiding under the big one. The leaves were healthy and strong, same for the roots. All my plants were packaged well and arrived safely. I can't wait to buy more! Highly recommend
