Your cart is empty.Water lettuce provides a floating rosette of attractive foliage that resembles lettuce. The plants float in ponds and water features, forming dense clumps of leaves. The leaves remain dry while the long roots dangle freely in the water. The plants shade the water and the floating roots leach nutrients from the pond. Water lettuce grows naturally as a tropical perennial. In colder climates, grow the plant as an annual or bring it indoors to overwinter. Your fish will love them. They will appreciate the shade, shelter, and food provided. Increases oxygen in the water. They grow extremely fast, especially with lots of sun exposure. They are 100% chemical free and are fish safe. These plants prefer calm waters. Place them away from waterfalls or water currents or they can perish. Koi fish will eat these plants so if you are not planning to feed your fish with this plant do not buy.

Arrive in very good condition it was obviously a hair stressed from shipping but still very alive and well. I was excited I’ve heard they grow fast and help well with algae..I have a large pond algae issue. Sadly the ducks ate the non duck eating plant smh

All I did was s place them in the water and their doing great! Didn't even have to do anything. They almost establish themselves! Healthy, colorful, came in water, definitely value for the money is there.

Bought this water lettuce around the first of spring, it looked a little rough when it arrived but It made a quick rebound in the pond. We kept it contained in a pool noodle until it reproduced so much that it needed more room. It is now September, and that one plant turned into a least one or two hundred. I am not kidding! They can easily be plucked from the water if you don't want that many. I think they are pretty. Good price, good product. Will buy again. Thanks.

Came well packaged, seems to be surviving and is a fairly large plant. Pricing is a bit steep, but seems ok otherwise.

Put it in our small pond and it's been 4 weeks since we got it and its very healthy. We did weigh the roots down with a stone and some string so they didn't float
Fun mom.

This was my second experiment with a pond plant. I bought one locally last year but it did not thrive. I tried this one from Amazon with no clue what to do with them when they arrived, so I just tossed them in my pitiful pond and hoped for the best. After a few months I have a large crop of the healthiest pond plants I could ever hope for. Now, I’m giving them away. My pond stays so much cleaner now that they are present. These plants saved my sanity, and my little pond.

I have had these a lot over the years in my goldfish pond. This one does not look like it will survive.

I bought two plants from the seller. The first died within the first three days. This second one, the water lettuce, is holding on for dear life. The center is healthy and the plant is pretty for water lettuce, but I am afraid that may not last. I would like to think that when purchasing live plants that you have a decent chance of being successful when all they do is float in the water. But I never seem to learn, as many times as I purchase live plants on Amazon, that somehow they do not make a healthy transition into my small goldfish pond. (sigh)

My plant arrived in a few days, stuffed in the mailbox. The title says "bundle," I got one water lettuce. The one I got has been in my tank a couple days so far and has not approved in appearance at all. All the bottom leaves were somewhat yellow upon receipt, and have continued to yellow. It floats sideways and partially submerged. There are hairy roots and straight hairless ones, the hairless ones keep dropping off and floating in the tank.a few leaves are almost fully submerged 🫠😡. It's a good size, if you include the dead/dying petals. Had it arrived in good health, I would have been pleased. If it recovers, I'll change my rating. Otherwise, it's junk and I would have done better to snatch something from a pond. I will say I have not suffered an infestation, so that got a star

The plant came well packaged but I was surprised how small it was considering the price the company charge, I think they were very mean. There was just one small specimen, with a tiny amount of root. Needless to say it didn’t survive. I put it in the pond straight away but it failed miserably to take off. I won’t be ordering any more plants over the internet. Waste of money.

So I bought this plant, thinking it would be a lovely addition to my 55 gallon. When it arrived in the mail, I had no idea it would be so big and tall! And a crazy root system, very thick and bushy. A were of the outside leaves were brown and yellowish, just on the tips though, nothing serious. But the plant itself was very green, with thick beautiful leaves and even came with a little baby plant on the side. I think it was just a runner that broke off because the full size one had a runner on it. That's pretty much three plants I got for five bucks. Pretty sweet.The only thing I would note for this ewanting to buy this plant, don't buy it for your aquarium, this is a pond plant, and I didn't realize it like I should of. Unless you really want this plant, be ready to lower your water line, because that was my situation. This plant was huge, and would be way too close to the lights I have arching over my tank. So I lowered the water level about 3 inches, and its doing quite fine after a whole week now. This plant is a nutrient hog as well, so remember that for your other plants.Also don't let those leaves get wet! The leaves will begin to decay where it was wet. Be careful with it drifting near the filter output. I had modify my filter.
