Water Lettuce Floater Plants Bio

Water Lettuce (Pistia stratiotes), often resembling a floating head of lettuce, is a widely favored aquatic plant for ponds and large aquariums. It features velvety, light green rosettes that help filter and purify the water, offering a safe haven for fish and beneficial microorganisms. This plant prefers still or slow-moving waters and a good amount of sunlight to thrive. Water Lettuce is not only aesthetically pleasing but also plays a critical role in maintaining the ecosystem balance by absorbing excess nutrients, thus reducing algae growth.
