20+ Giant Duckweed, Spirodela polyrhiza, LiveFloating Plants for Pond/Aquarium

I’d love to be able to say, how pleased I am with my new pond plants. They arrived fresh and alive, a bit smaller than I had expected. However, size wasn’t my problem: after putting them in the water one day, the next day, they were all gone! I have four Koi and I can only think, they ate every single plant!! lol I know, Koi will nibble on pretty much anything, I just wasn’t prepared for all the plants to be gobbled. Will have to re-think how to protect the next batch of plants. Keep this in mind, for your own pond. :) Update: I was thinking about ordering some more of these, but happened to read a few reviews and it seems many individuals have gone through the same ordeal as me. One person did not recommend these for an outdoor pond and I have to agree with them. I’m not going to re-order after all.

This item was terrible. The plants were a teeny teeny tiny and they did not stay afloat in my pond. I think they got sucked up by the filter and it was a waste of my money.

I'm happy duckweed is happy bit pricey for a small amount but looks healthy and excited to get into pond

You get about a tablespoon amount

Wasn't sure what to expect when it arrived. I am at a month now of having it and they have doubled in quantity. Healthy and happy in my little pond. Definitely would recommend and just so easy to deal with.

Arrived healthy, but the picture is 2 orders $20 worth, barely covers the top of a betta cup. Does not look like “giant” duckweed I was hoping to use in a gold fish pond .

These plants flourished amazingly in my 20 gallon freshwater fish tank. While the plants did show up with many broken roots, the roots grew back very quick. Within a very very short time period these plants had multiplied to cover the entire top of my tank. The only reason I gave them 4 stars instead of 2 stars: while they did populate very quickly, the little ones now are slightly brown. This might be to my own error, or it might be because there are so many in the tank. With that being said, they are still populating and doing well.

For starters I always make sure to grab the duckweed as soon as it arrives; I don't let it sit out. I've bought from this seller before, and in the past their duckweed has come with some gelatinous substance which I believe keeps most of the duckweed healthy during transit. No complaints, and I have always been happy with the duckweed I received. This time, the duckweed was sent in a small bag with some water in it. Not a big deal in the change, but normally I expect a ~50-70% mortality rate of the duckweed I receive and I think that's pretty reasonable. However, the entire batch I received was all browning and mostly dead (see image). I got it under my grow lamp hoping for at least one or two survivors. It's now 12 days after receiving the duckweed, and nearly all of them are dead, sunk, or on their way there. My goldfish love this stuff and I sadly have none to give them. I hope this was just a one off error on the seller's part, as I have been happy with the product before.
