Water lettuce (Pistia stratiotes) is a floating aquatic plant known for its rosette of soft, water-wrinkled leaves that resemble the appearance of head lettuce. It’s commonly found in tropical and subtropical regions and thrives in slow-moving water bodies, such as ponds and lakes.While it can be beneficial in the right setting, water lettuce can become invasive in some areas, leading to overgrowth that depletes oxygen in the water and disrupts local ecosystems. It’s important to manage its spread to maintain a balanced aquatic environment.
