Belonging to the duckweed family, duckweeds is a genus characterised by small floating plants. For Basic Care, it needs ample sunlight and nutrient-rich water, but not heavy direct sunlight. It can survive broad temperature ranges, making it adaptable, but nutrient-rich water environment is critical. The Common Challenges include overwintering and competition from algal blooms. Nitrate build-ups can affect healthy growth. During winter, this plant reduces its metabolic activity, while during warm Seasonal Conditions, shading may prevent overheating and evaporation. Adequate nutrient supply should be maintained to avoid competition from algae.
