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.

The leaves in the center of the plant are very green and healthy and there are new leaves growing in the center. I also have babies growing off of the main plant so I'm super excited about that. I do have concerns simply because a majority of the leaves are yellow on the bigger plants and only the centers seem to be healthy, this is why I gave 4 stars.
It was a little flat when it arrived, but perked right up after an hour in my tank. Now it’s very happy and a beautiful addition.
Received several small and a few large clumps of water lettuce. I love the way it looks flowing through the tank. I am hoping it will multiply and fill out the tanks.
I had only ordered two but I thought they would be the same size? One is very small and my kol have eaten it already!!
I was a little disappointed that I only received one water lettuce instead of what was pictured with a small group.
I am grateful for the water lettuce plants
