Bring natural surface coverage to your aquarium or pond with Dwarf Water Lettuce (Pistia stratiotes). This attractive floating aquatic plant forms rosettes of soft, pale green leaves that resemble miniature open lettuces, adding a lush, tropical aesthetic to any aquascape.

Care Information:

  • Lighting: Moderate to high. Grows faster with strong lighting.

  • Water Flow: Prefers still or gentle water; strong currents may damage the leaves.

Key Information:

  • Floating Plant: Grows on the water’s surface with long, feathery roots that dangle below, great for fish and shrimp to shelter or spawn in.

  • Natural Shade & Algae Control: Helps block out excessive light, reducing algae growth and stabilizing water temperature.

  • Safe for Aquatic Life: Non-toxic and perfect for aquariums, especially appreciated in betta and shrimp setups.
