Did the lettuce improve the quality of the water?
@benrocklyfe87896 жыл бұрын
Actually yes, it seems each year the more plants the better ecosystem and water condition. This pond has too many large fish and lots of waste. The lettuce was a big help. Each lettuce hangs about a foot long root cluster. I used some floating hula hoop type pipe to contain them in circles this year I'll do a video on it soon!

Is there any reason that my water lettuce in NOT multiplying? I've had great success every year except this year

I noticed a stunt in growth when my iron levels were very low, I would add iron chelate. Could be something like this or similar deficiency if you do some searches for indicators you might be able to narrow it down. iron seemed to be common in my area, however once I added the iron everything exploded in growth including massive algae blooms so heads up!

I read somewhere it's poisonous if eaten in large quantities but fortunately I think Koi know this. My kois eat the roots of water hybiscus but I've never seen them eat the water lettuce.
