Please Note

Giant Duckweed is a live plant, so individual leaf size, root length, color, and portion appearance will naturally vary. Some roots or leaves may be damaged during shipping; healthy plants typically produce new growth quickly once established.

As with most aquarium plants, we recommend inspecting and rinsing plants as appropriate before introducing them to your aquarium.
