Water Lettuce - Floating Plant

Click to Enlarge
 
Water Lettuce - Floating Plant
Unique soft light green leaves that form a rosette floats peacefully on the water's surface. The rosette conceals a small female flower and the seed bearing fruit of the plant. Simply place in water and plant will float freely. Water lettuce is supported by a large number of feathery roots submersed in the water beneath the leaves of the plant. These roots make this plant ideal for added filtration, and the rosette makes perfect shade for fish.

    Floating aquatic plants can be a very effective way of adding filtration and surface coverage to a water garden. Since the free floating plants, have no roots anchored in soil they draw 100% of their nutrients directly from the water, feeding on nutrients that would otherwise feed algae. Simply place these plants around your pond or in the bio-filter.
