Water Lettuce (Pistia stratiotes) - 4 Pack

Add a beautiful, natural touch to your aquarium with healthy Water Lettuce. This floating plant is one of the easiest and most beneficial plants you can keep, making it a favorite among shrimp keepers, fish breeders, and planted tank enthusiasts.

Water Lettuce develops long, flowing roots that provide excellent cover for shrimp fry and baby fish while helping absorb excess nutrients from the water. It can also help reduce algae growth by competing for nutrients and providing shade to the aquarium.

At BKs Paws, every portion is carefully selected from healthy, thriving stock to ensure you receive quality plants ready to grow in the right conditions.

Important: Water Lettuce prefers calm water. Strong surface agitation can damage the leaves and slow growth. Because this plant grows quickly, occasional thinning may be needed to prevent it from covering the entire water surface.

Shipping Note: As with all live plants, some leaf damage may occur during shipping. Healthy plants recover quickly once placed in suitable aquarium conditions.

Whether you're creating a lush shrimp habitat or simply want a beautiful floating plant that works as hard as it looks, Water Lettuce is an excellent addition to almost any freshwater aquarium.
