Growing Your Own Floating Plants

Hahahahhaaa, Lol!

But really would it work?

(And besides, it is so green, and there are so many tadpoles, the koi would be over run! )

There was an old lady when I was a kid that filled her pool with goldfish after the pump went out. She was sweet but a little goofy.

Aren’t we all?

Aren’t we all?

Yep! I’m swimming in my fish pond right now. Lol!

So I did as @Colin_T said, my duckweed is now in a 5 gallon kitty litter bucket (clean), mixed with granular plant fertilizer! And it is in direct sun, did I do it right? I plan to get a Water Sprite from my LFS soon.

So I guess you’re paying me back for hijacking your post the other night, huh? It’s ok, we can share. . According to Colin T if it gets hot during the day then put in partial shade.

Lol, ok!

I hear duckweed grows faster in warm water, that correct?

 

[Colin_T]

all aquatic plants grow faster in warm water.

Oh, ok! So duckweed sort of “sprays” seeds, and then the seeds grow, and spray more seeds? Kind of like this... https://gardenerdy.com/a-look-at-duckweed-reproduction

 

[Colin_T]

no idea about seed.

Ok, I was just wondering, thanks!
