    Live Floating Pond Plant

    Water Lettuce — 3 Count

    Pistia stratiotes

    Soft, velvety rosettes that drift across the surface of your pond — filtering the water, shading out algae, and giving your fish a cool, sheltered hideaway. No soil. No planting. Just rinse and float.

    Why Pond Keepers Love It

    Beauty That Works as Hard as It Looks

    Water Lettuce isn't just decoration — it's a living filtration system that quietly improves water quality while making your pond look incredible.

    🌿

    Natural Algae Control

    Trailing roots pull excess nitrogen and phosphates straight out of the water, while the floating leaves shade the surface — starving algae of the light and nutrients it needs to bloom.

    🐟

    Shelter for Fish

    Dense rosettes and dangling roots create a safe, shaded retreat for koi, goldfish, fry, and shrimp — especially during the hottest weeks of summer.

    ⚡

    Grows Fast, Spreads Freely

    In warm water and full sun it multiplies quickly, filling open areas with lush green coverage. A small starter set becomes a thriving colony within weeks.

    🪴

    Zero Planting Required

    No pots, no substrate, no digging. Water Lettuce feeds directly from the water column — the lowest-maintenance aquatic plant you can own.

    Quick Care Guide

    Everything It Needs to Thrive

    Water Lettuce is a warmth-loving tropical perennial. Give it sunlight and still water, and it practically takes care of itself.

    ☀️
    Light
    6–8 hours of direct sun daily for vibrant color and steady growth. Some midday shade helps in very hot climates.
    🌡️
    Water Temperature
    68–86°F (20–30°C). This is a tropical plant that loves warmth and stops growing below 60°F.
    💧
    Water Movement
    Still or slow-moving water. Keep away from strong currents and heavy fountain sprays.
    ✂️
    Maintenance
    Thin out excess plants as needed to prevent overcrowding in smaller ponds.
    ❄️
    Winter Care
    Overwinter a few plants indoors before the first frost to restart your colony next spring.
    🌱
    Feeding
    No fertilizer needed in a mature pond. In new or container ponds, a liquid aquatic fertilizer every few weeks helps.

    Good to Know

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Does Water Lettuce need soil or planting?
    No. Water Lettuce is a true floating plant. It draws nutrients directly from the water column and requires no soil, pots, or substrate whatsoever.
    Will it really help control algae?
    Yes. It competes with algae for the same nutrients and shades the water surface, which naturally reduces algae growth over time.
    Can I keep it with koi and goldfish?
    Absolutely. It's completely fish-safe and provides valuable shade and shelter. Larger koi may occasionally nibble at the roots, but the plants regrow quickly.
    How fast does Water Lettuce spread?
    In warm water and full sun, it multiplies rapidly — new daughter plants form continuously throughout the growing season.
    What if my plant arrives damaged?
    Take a photo within 24 hours of delivery and contact our support team. We'll issue a replacement or full refund under our Live Arrival Guarantee.
    Can I keep Water Lettuce indoors?
    Yes. It does well in aquariums and indoor water features as long as it receives strong, direct lighting and warm water.

    Quick Planting Tips:

    • Place floating plants gently on calm water away from direct turbulent currents or heavy fountain sprays.
    • For potted marginals and lilies, submerge to the recommended depth (typically 6-12 inches) in rich aquatic soil or gravel.
    • Provide at least 6-8 hours of sunlight daily for vibrant color and steady growth.
    Extreme Weather & State Regulations Warning

    Live aquatic plants are sensitive to extreme weather. Do not order if local winter temperatures are below 32°F or summer temperatures exceed 100°F.
