Water Lettuce Care Guide (Pakistan-Specific Tips!)

  • Lighting: Moderate to high (does well under LED lights or indirect sunlight).
  • Water Conditions: pH 6.5–7.5 | Temperature 20-30°C (suitable for Pakistan’s climate).
  • Growth Rate: Fast-growing – trim regularly to prevent overgrowth.
  • Placement: Floating plant – no substrate needed.
  • Special Care: Avoid strong water currents, as they may submerge the plant.

💡 Pro Tip: In warmer cities like Karachi & Lahore, Water Lettuce grows faster. If needed, trim excess plants to prevent overcrowding.
