Spirodela polyrrhiza, also known as Giant Duckweed, is a floating plant prized for its rapid growth and ability to provide surface coverage in aquariums and ponds. Its rounded, bright green leaves create a lush canopy that shades the water below, helping to control excess light and reduce algae growth. Supplied in tissue culture format, this cup offers a clean, contaminant-free start for your aquarium or pond.
