Duckweed Portion (Lemna spp.)

Duckweed Portion is a group of floating aquatic plants that are popular among aquarium hobbyists. This group includes several species within the genus Lemna, which have small, rounded leaves that float on the surface of the water. The Duckweed Portion plants are typically sold in small portions, providing a natural food source and shelter for fish and other aquatic organisms.

The leaves of Duckweed Portion plants are typically less than 1/4 inch in diameter and light green in color. The plants can grow quickly and form a dense mat on the water's surface, providing shade and shelter for aquatic organisms. Duckweed Portion is also an effective natural filtration system, absorbing excess nutrients and helping to maintain water quality.

Duckweed Portion plants are very easy to care for and can adapt to a range of lighting and water conditions. They prefer moderate to bright lighting and can tolerate a wide range of water hardness and pH levels. The plants also prefer a water temperature range of 65-82ﾡF (18-28ﾡC).

The plants can be propagated by separating the plant's fronds and planting them in the substrate or simply allowing them to float on the water's surface. The plant will quickly grow new fronds and form a dense mat on the water's surface.

Duckweed Portion plants are a useful addition to any aquarium, providing a natural food source, shelter, and filtration system. They are also commonly used in outdoor ponds and water features.
