Water Lettuce is fast growing and floats across the water's surface creating an atmosphere of beauty and serenity. Baby plants are sent off with shoots, when they're large enough just pinch off and you have more plants!
Aside from their beauty, water lettuce also plays a very important role in a pond's natural ecology. Water lettuce provides shade for your pond and helps to clarify murky water, control algae, and supply vital oxygen to your water. Their roots provide a natural habitat and a spawning ground for fish to lay their eggs.
They are a must for any water garden, pond or bog.
Water Lettuce (Pistia stratioes)
This is also called shellflower. The plant has pale green velvety foliage that spreads across the surface and may produce inconspicuous white flowers. Very easy growers, these plants are great for surface coverage and algae elimination. They also provide a protection from predators for koi and other fish -- especially important for vulnerable young fish.
