Growing your own floating plants for a thriving aquarium

No worries about hijacking my post, I know how it is. Colin mentioned putting the plants in partial shade if it gets too hot during the day, so I might do that.

Haha, yeah I'm trying to return the favor. So I've got my duckweed setup going, and I was wondering - I've heard it grows faster in warm water, is that right?

That's correct, all aquatic plants tend to grow faster in warm water, but remember to provide partial shade if it gets too hot during the day.

I was reading about duckweed reproduction, and it seems that it disperses seeds that then grow and multiply. Apparently, it's a pretty efficient process - the seeds just kind of 'spray' out and start new plants. From what I've read, it's similar to this: https://gardenerdy.com/a-look-at-duckweed-reproduction.

I'm clueless about seed.

Thanks for the info, I appreciate it.
