No idea but i'd like to know as i'd like to get some, looks amazing!

I got it from a garden centre-esque lfs, but also saw it in my local MA, but with no name D:

It's really fuzzy and furry too :D

It looks like Water Lettuce Very Happy

Defo water lettuce! I have it in my tank. Great stuff, and so easy to care for.

It's lovely! Does it need a lot of light?

by **Taelin** on Mon May 24, 2010 12:50 am

I don't think so. Mine has been in my soroity which has just 2 25w bulbs in it, and has spread nicely. I think it may need a LITTLE more light than it has, as the roots have recently become very short, but otherwise seems to be doing well.
