SPIRODELA POLYRRHIZA – Fast-Growing Floating Plant for Freshwater Aquariums, Tropica 1-2-Grow! Format
Spirodela polyrrhiza, also known as Greater Duckweed, is a highly versatile floating plant that adds a natural and functional element to freshwater aquariums. Its small, round green fronds float freely on the water surface, creating a tranquil pond-like appearance. It offers excellent shade and shelter for fish while reducing light penetration, which helps to prevent algae growth.
Thriving in low to moderate lighting, Spirodela polyrrhiza is easy to care for and grows quickly, making it ideal for both beginners and experienced aquarists. Its fast growth rate helps absorb excess nutrients, improving water quality and supporting a healthy aquatic environment. Regular thinning is recommended to prevent overgrowth and ensure balanced light distribution to submerged plants.
