How does duckweed reproduce? What are the time and method of reproduction?

Duckweed reproduction method

There are two main ways of reproduction for duckweed, namely seed propagation and division propagation. Division propagation is generally carried out in spring and summer when the climate is relatively warm and suitable for its growth, while seed propagation is generally carried out during the harvest season when the climate is more suitable for planting.

Common reproduction methods of duckweed

1. Duckweed propagation

When duckweed is propagated by seeds, it is necessary to collect the seeds during the seed harvest season, and then wrap the seeds with yellow mud. Usually, 2-3 seeds are wrapped in each ball, and then the wrapped seeds can be thrown into the water. It grows very fast and will grow on its own after entering the water.

2. Duckweed division propagation

When duckweed is propagated by division, it is usually done in spring or summer every year. It prefers to grow in a warm and humid environment. It requires a healthy, disease-free duckweed as the mother plant, and then a small plant is separated from the mother plant and placed in the water. It has high requirements for water quality, so calm shallow water is needed.
