Duckweeds thrive in still or slow-moving fresh water, making them ideal for ponds or aquariums. They require abundant light for optimal growth and should be protected from strong water currents. Regular monitoring of nutrient levels is essential, as they can rapidly deplete the water of essential nutrients. Maintaining a balance in their growth and preventing overpopulation are key special care points.

Giant duckweed (Spirodela polyrhiza) is a fast-growing aquatic plant found all over the world. It produces a mat of greenery on the surface of slow-moving water bodies. Giant duckweed has begun to be used for creating biofuels, for bioremediation projects, and in carbon cycling systems due to its quick life cycle and small genome.
S. punctata originally was found in Australia and South Asia, but today it can also be found in the Southern and Eastern United States.
