I just ordered some Duckweed to plant in our pond. Oh wait, I don't have a pond. I guess my wife is going to jump with joy when I tell her that I'm going to build her a pond to put $12 worth of plants in it for the chickens. LOL

Both are rather difficult to "handle". They are about the same size, 2-5mm and commonly found together so you might get both. When you pick them up with your hand or net, they tend to stick unless you swish them around to break surface tension / capillary action that makes them stick to you. Not a big deal really because they propagate rapidly with warm temps and good light.I just ordered some giant duckweed (spirodela polyrrhiza L. ~ giant duckweed, great duckweed, duckmeat). Now I'm wondering if I should have gotten common duckweed (Lemna minor L. ~ lesser duckweed, common duckweed). Hoping I did the right thing or I'll be ordering more. I just figured the larger duckweed would be easier to handle.
I called everywhere locally (pet stores, garden nurseries, etc.) no one had it.
I am planning to set up a small indoor aquarium to grow it in. I actually have 2 aquariums, hmmm, maybe I should just go ahead and order the common duckweed right now too!
I also started a dubia colony to supply insects for them in the winter. I actually got the dubia before I even got my first chickens! LOL
Assuming here, but a zip lock baggie in a box w/ filler.How ever does one ship water plants?
