Default Water lettuce

It's funny - at first I didn't like it. But this spring bought a piece
anyway. It is surrounded by azola and now I really like the look of it.
Guess some things grow on you.

This is the first year for our pond and everything is going well. I
purchased 2 lilies, 1 lotus, 2 water hyacinth and 2 water lettuce. My

lilies
have thrown 5 flowers and the leaves are fine. The lotus has two large

buds
but the leaves are showing brown patches at the edges.
Over a 2 month period the water lettuce has almost taken over the pond. I
would like to know how much is too much. Do I need to compost the babies

or
the big parent plants?
Thanks


I think the small ones are more attractive, so I'd throw out the big
ones. Actually, I don't care that much for it and I gave away all I
had, but if you like it...
