Prevents algae growth

Water lettuce is a floating, herbaceous perennial plant found across the globe in tropical and subtropical regions. Water lettuce, also called water cabbage or Nile cabbage, is aptly named and looks like a head of the leafy greens.Water lettuce is popular for those with water gardens because its presence inhibits the growth of algae and cleans the water. It has even been proven effective at removing heavy metal toxins like zinc and cadmium from a water supply. Water lettuce grows in rosettes on the water’s surface with thick, soft leaves that can reach 15 cm (6 in) in length. One rosette can reach a diameter of around 30 cm (12 in) and a height of 10cm (4 in).  Dense feathery roots extend up to 1 meter (39 in) below the surface of the water and provide ample shelter for small fish.  New growth usually occurs with the development of smaller daughter plants connected to the original growth via stolons.

We will send plants in different sizes. One plant has one root system. We normally mix in some big ones and some small. The younger plantlets will grow, while the adult plants will off-shoot and create more plants.

Size is roughly: 1-4cm.

Attractive, easy to raise, and economical. If you're looking for a surface plant that also reduces the excess light that encourages algae growth, you'll appreciate dwarf water lettuce even more.

This is beautiful floating plant can be used indoor or outdoor aquariums and vivariums. Shrimp may often hang below the leaves on the roots. Plant also provides shelter for fish.

Removes Nitrogenous Wastes. Roots like these suck nitrogen and other digested fish wastes out of the water. They help purify the water.

Propagation by runners. Do not let plant completely cover the surface else other submersed plants will get shaded.
