Dwarf Water Lettuce

I got some dwarf water lettuce from eBay in today, but none of the plants had any roots. Will they grow back? Or will the plants just slowly die?

a lot of floaters will shed their roots when they are stressed, but they'll grow back once they get adjusted to their new homes.

I bought a good scoop of water lettuce a while back. It ships quite poorly, so expect to lose the majority. Good news is that it grows very fast and it's unlikely that it all got nuked, so just wait to see what grows back.

I received three small leaves in a shipment of plants and now have a whole tank full. It took a while for the little leaves to grow but when they did they really grew. LOL
