Description
Water Lettuce
Watter Lettuce is a very popular floating plant in the hobby. Depending on its environment, the leaves may grow from approximately 1 inch to 4 inches in size. The leaves look fleshy and are covered by tiny hairs, giving them a velvety-like texture. Watter Lettuce produces many fine roots that provide shade and hiding places for small fish in the aquarium.
Care & Maintenance for Water Lettuce
Water Lettuce is very easy to care for in the aquarium. It is most suitable for open top aquariums or those with good ventilation to prevent the leaves from drying up or getting damaged.
- Minimum Lighting Required: Strong
- Temperature Range: 72-82°F
- Tank Placement: Floating
Watter Lettuce likes strong light and, under good conditions, will grow and propage fast. It is great at removing excess nutrients from the aquarium's water column, helping keep algea in check, water clean, and your fish healthy.

EXACTLY like the picture
Three lovely plants came in looking just like the picture. Very healthy, and snail-free as far as I can tell. I've had them in my aquariums for just over a week. Love the look of them!

Some damage
A couple of leaves were yellowish and melting. I did have to trim off with a sharp blade. Roots on these plants are pretty delicate, so if you're tossing in your aquarium, I'd highly recommend presoaking in another bucket to let the stray ends fall off outside of your tank. I did this after a quick salt bath and rinse for about 30min and boy did they shed a lot! Plants look very healthy and no more melting evident.

Great
Came in HUGE and healthy. Not as many “leaves” as the picture shows, and no extra runners like in the picture but still good.
-
Huge!
I didn't realize these were as big as they are, they are stunningly beautiful. Perfect for a pond. The leaves were a bit yellowed and crunchy on the tips most likely from shipping in the heat, but all look healthy. Root systems in tact and more leaves growing. Shipped perfectly

Came in rough shape
My water lettuce came with yellow leaves and one of them fell apart. 2 of them are recovering very well but the one that fell apart is struggling to grow back. I was a bit disappointed that they came like that
