Water lettuce has very thick leaves that are light dull green, are hairy, and are ridged. There are no leaf stalks. Water lettuce roots are light-colored and feathery. The flowers are inconspicuous. Individual rosettes can range from 2” to 18” across.

Water lettuce should be grown in the shade; the sun turns its leaves yellow. It obtains all its nutrients directly from the water. This makes it a great plant to use to combat algae. The long feathery roots also make great shelter for young fish and other wildlife.

Water lettuce is a very aggressive plant that forms thick mats. Do not allow the plants to cover the entire surface of the pond as they can cause oxygen depletion and fish kills.
