Giant Duckweed Plant (Spirodela polyrhiza) is a fast-growing floating plant with larger, round leaves compared with common duckweed. Its bright green fronds form a dense mat on the water’s surface, providing natural shade and helping reduce algae growth by limiting light penetration. Easy to grow in still or slow-moving water, it quickly absorbs excess nutrients to improve water quality.

This plant is well suited for ponds and aquariums, and it is fish- and shrimp-safe, though regular thinning may be needed to prevent overcrowding. It thrives with low to medium light and does not require added CO2, while its rapid growth enables quick surface coverage and nutrient uptake.
