Care Instructions

Duckweed floats freely and does not need to be planted in substrate. Provide enough surface space for the fronds to receive light, and remove excess growth regularly. Duckweed can multiply quickly and form a dense mat that shades plants below.

Keep it away from strong surface flow and filter intakes to help prevent it from collecting in one area or being pulled into the filter. Do not release aquarium plants into natural waterways.
