Dwarf Water Lettuce (Pistia stratiotes 'Dwarf') is a compact, ornamental floating plant perfect for aquariums, nano tanks, and small ponds. Its petite, velvety leaves form rosettes that float gracefully on the water's surface, creating a soft, natural look while providing shade and shelter for aquatic life. The smaller size makes it easier to manage than standard Water Lettuce, especially in indoor aquariums or tight spaces.
