Water lettuce size
I bought about 6 large water lettuce the size of my out-stretched palm in June/July. I have observed that the original 6 water lettuce reproduced extremely fast and I now have over 20 water lettuce though they are all small about the half the size of the adult plant. Even the 6 original plants have shed their leaves to the half its size. Below are some pictures to compare.
Is it nutrient deficient or is it natural? I kept them outside my house with 10 hours of light and they also get some sunlight for about 3-4 hours. The person who sold me the plants kept them in a fibre glass tub with goldfish and hydrophilla difformis with sunlight. He mentioned that it needs sunlight and I do have a UVB bulb running thought its 2 years old and probably need to be changed. Anyone experienced this before?
Yours Truly, Avan
I went into the woods because I wanted to live deliberately. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life... to put to rout all that was not life; and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.
~ Henry David Thoreau
