Protect the roots from the fish
Robert Sinner✓ Verified Purchase•August 19, 2023
So these started out great. All 3. Then started shrinking smaller and smaller. Until I had about 10 tiny plants. Took them from the pond and put them in the pot fountain and now they are thriving. Over 100 plants easy over the last few months. Protect the roots from the fish. Check water everyday for proper PH and nitrates. Plants need food. Nitrates from the ammonia changed by the bacteria. Too much hurts fish not enough plants die. So they will grow. Right now they are over growing, and when they break off they get washed down the water fall into the pond. From now on I will rotate the plants from pond the top of fountain. I credit this water lettuce for better water, all the extra nutrient absorption and water clarity. They fish have eaten all other pond plants. Only some seeweed and amazon sword I think. Pretty much gone. Oh well. But this water lettuce. It grows nice and quick and thick. Check your water with test strips.
Excellent Customer Satisfaction & Products!

First shipment, USPS delivered to the wrong address even though AquaLeaf shipping label was accurate. We located the package but several days later.
AquaLeaf Customer Service is excellent. They had me take a picture of the plants and email to them. They felt the plants would struggle after climate damage from cold so PROACTIVELY replaced them at no additional charge to me. Wow! Thank you for the xcelkent follow-up, communications, customer service, and proactive approach to help your customer have a great experience and achieve satisfaction with AquaLeaf.
Kind Regards,
CMK

Floating Plant for my Goldfish Pond - 3rd year ordering this plant
Carolyn H✓ Verified Purchase•June 26, 2023
I was looking for a floating pond plant for my goldfish. Water lettuce may be the answer. It is too soon to tell. In the past, I've used water lilies. They are a problem because they end up forming a huge root system that takes over the pond. I've used water hyacinths with mixed success. I've tried duck weed but the goldfish eat it up very quickly. I can see that new plants are forming on the edges of the water lettuce. I am hoping that they will provide shade for the fish. I have no idea if they overwinter, but will be happy to reorder each spring. Update May 2023 - This is the 3rd year that I have used this plant in my goldfish pond. I ordered it too early last year, in April. It wasn't warm enough for it to grow much until May.
Healthy plants & comparable to local pond supply purchase
C. Mitchell✓ Verified Purchase•June 21, 2023
Very pleased with this purchase - photos show direct comparison to local pond supply purchase.
Shipping was prompt and the packaging was fine. The description was accurate as to size - these are not huge specimens at shipping, but I have found that smaller plants have less shipping and transferring "shock" so that was fine with me. There was some edge-leaf yellowing which is not unexpected but the centers were healthy and the roots were fine for getting established.
It happened that a local pond supply company put out a new supply of water lettuce a day after I received this order, and I bought 5 comparably-sized specimens as a little mini-experiment to see how they'd all do. The first picture is the 3 that I ordered from AquaLeaf on the day they arrived. (That's frogbit beside them.) I kept the mail-order and local sets separate in the pond and moved them together this morning for the second picture. 10 days in they are all alive and thriving and putting out baby-lettuce extensions, almost indistinguishable.
Thumbs-up for AquaLeaf!
