Pistia Stratiotes, AKA Dwarf Water Lettuce as it is commonly called, is a genus of aquatic plant in the arum family, Araceae. The single species it comprises, Pistia stratiotes, is often also called water cabbage, water lettuce, Nile cabbage, or shellflower. It is a more compact version of water lettuce. Like many floating plants, it will provide shade and shelter to the fish living underneath, and will also keep the water clear of algae.
NOTE: 1 portion size is about 4-6 plantlets
