WEEKLY SALE (14) Water Hyacinth Koi Pond Floating Plants Algae Medium 3” Fish

July 8, 2026

See photos for size range . I have very large ones ion other listing . Combines shipping in cart!! Only ship Monday Tuesday and wendsday unless you request otherwise so they don’t sit at po for any reason. I set up the listing in boxes. If you would like them shipped in a flat rate envelope for $8 let me know and I’ll create a listing for you it just offers less protection for the plant. Packages carry insurance which the buyer can claim online via USPS incase of any imperfect. No returns for any reason. This floating water plant while invasive and not to be released in the natural environment, is the best friend of small pond owners who’s water quality lacks from adequate filtration. Each plant carries its own inflated leaves as ballast and the root are left to free float below the plant. These roots not only take up nutrient but provide surface area for biofiltration and add to the diversity of small aquatic animals that eat other helpful nuisances such as algae and excess bacteria. These plants are capable of rapid growth but are easily managed in a small pond or fountain by simply tossing the excess. They make good breeding mats for Koi eggs (if your Koi leave them alone that is – see picture) and they can be place in the pond when the fish begin spawning and some eggs will cling to them allow you to easily remove the plants and have the babies hatch elsewhere. Because they are minimally frost tolerant, many places in the US (except the southern states) simply treat them as an annual and replace them every year. The generally bloom summer and early fall. K In order to keep shipping costs low with postage increases i have taken the time to change most listings to caculated shipping rather than FREE. Shipping is based on weight and location I dont want to overcharge customers unnecessarily! Also on small light weight items it allows for customers to add a second item for $.30 to $.60 in most cased so keep in mind that shipping will be combined in your cart when shopping!!

75 WATER LETTUCE, POND PLANTS

July 8, 2026

PLEASE note: you will get a 3 USPS large box with about 4 to 5 lbs of plants ea. The number of plants may vary based on sizes when packed. We try to give a mix of sizes and try to get 75 or more plants total across all three boxes but you may be a few short if the plants are larger. These are HIGH quality organic non fertilizer added, grown in PART sun. The nutrients come from the koi and turtles they share the pond with. 20 to 25 water lettuce. The Water Lettuce is grown In a greenhouse so ther is a need for a transition into full sun. Great filter for pond or bog. It is recommend to cover half of the ponds surface for shade and algae control. Turtles also love to eat this plant. Please note: During the stress of shipping it is normal for the plants to drop roots. The good news is that they are very hardy and should perk back up in a few days. Due to the roots dropping they may float on their sides but should right themselves as new roots develop. Before packing I take the brown leaves off so you will get a box of green plants. When your plants arrive please get them into water ASAP. I recommend floating them in a large rubber tote. This will help wash the dropped roots and any leaves broken during shipping. Place the fresh washed plants in your pond. Feel free to send pictures of your plants in the pond! Although care is taken to package your plants for shipping, we cannot issue refunds once the plants are shipped. These are live plants and can be stressed during shipping. However they are very hard to kill so after a week or so they will begin growing from what looks like dead plants. They only need WATER, SUN, and nutrients in the water to grow like weeds
