Giant Duckweed (Spirodela polyrhiza) - 2 Tbsp
- Low stock - 1 item left
- Backordered, shipping soon
Giant Duckweed is a fast-growing floating plant whose leaves/pods (or fronds) are relatively small and vibrant light green in color, with purple undersides. It grows in dense colonies and provides hiding places for small invertebrates and fish. This is a great plant for beginners, as it does not require special equipment, care, or knowledge.
Giant Duckweed is easy to grow and is fine with low-light setups, although more light means faster and denser growth. It grows by absorbing waste (including nitrates) from the water, which reduces the pollutants that cause smelly or cloudy water and makes for happier pond or aquarium inhabitants! Duckweed can greatly reduce or even eliminate the need for water changes.
This portion comes with 200 or more pods. All of our plants are bright and healthy because they are kept in a water in a plant-dedicated tank rather than plastic packaging, which means your plant will arrive in top condition.
All Aquatic Arts brand plants and animals come with a 100% live arrival guarantee, plus free email support!

For the safety of our animals, we only ship live fish, crabs, and select other inverts exclusively via UPS 1 Day Air.

If other items are in your cart that can ship with 2 day or standard shipping options the only shipping method you can still select is UPS 1 Day Air.
UPS 1 Day is a description of the duration of time a shipment will spend in transit once it has been shipped. This does not guarantee the package will be shipped the same or next day from which the order was placed.
Shipping Schedule for this service
Current Handling Time:
1-9 business days
Here at Aquatic Arts, we consider the welfare of the live animals we are shipping to be of the foremost importance. This process is much more involved than simply creating a shipping label and affixing it to a box. Depending on the order, it takes from 4 to 7 people to complete this process properly. We check the weather conditions here where they fly out of the Indianapolis UPS facility and the destination for each shipment. We start early each morning and go through a multi-step process to have the day's shipments prepared in time for the UPS pickup. The volume of orders in our system also affects the processing time. Therefore our stated handling time is 1-9 business days.
Shipping Rate
Pricing is by size of package needed to fill entire order and distance it must travel. It will be calculated at checkout.
