2 Water Lettuce + 2 Water Hyacinth Bundle - Floating Pond Plants

Water lettuce, with its floating rosette of attractive foliage resembling lettuce, provides a pleasant aesthetic in ponds and water features. Forming dense clumps of leaves, the plants keep their leaves dry while allowing their long roots to freely dangle in the water. By shading the water and allowing the floating roots to leach nutrients from the pond, water lettuce effectively hinders algae growth. This tropical perennial can be grown as an annual in colder climates or brought indoors for overwintering.

Your fish will greatly benefit from water lettuce. They will enjoy the shade, shelter, and additional food it provides. Moreover, this plant plays a crucial role in controlling algae and boosting oxygen levels in the water. Water hyacinths also serve as excellent biofilters. Their rapid growth, especially when exposed to ample sunlight, makes them highly effective. Being completely chemical-free, they are safe for fish and shrimp. The long roots of water hyacinths create hiding spots for smaller pond inhabitants.

For optimal growth, these plants thrive in calm waters. It is advisable to place them away from waterfalls or strong water currents to prevent any damage or potential demise.
