Description
Water lettuce Pistia Stratiotes Live Plant
The lettuce shaped leaves are soft & hairy. This plant spreads by sending out runners to form young plants. The fine roots give good cover for small fish. Pistia do best, placed in sheltered pools.
Not hardy. Remove decaying plants after the first frost. Very hard to overwinter as they must be placed in shallow water with soil at the base of the container. They should be kept in moderate light at a temperature above 15°c. Very hard to overwinter.
