I had this duck weed for 3 days so I wish I had it longer for a better review. But the short time I had it while it did stink bad I thought it looked great in my above ground pond.
The reason I had it for such a short amount of time is because it rained and my small plants floated away. I tried salvaging them but it rained for days. I have very very few of the original plants but the ones left while very few seem to be doing good. I will probably buy this again and take more precautions for rain.
Also the smell, it smells like rancid poop and I cannot stress that enough. The smell faded now maybe because I have so few or maybe because its outside but the package did attract flies in seconds.

Super tiny
Update: these teeny tiny plants are super prolific. It hasn’t been a month and these things have gone absolutely crazy now I have to keep my aquarium light on low. I can’t just remove some because the baby shrimp are nesting in them.When the seller says micro, they really mean micro. These are super Duper tiny. They arrived in a bubble envelope and sealed up in a Ziploc, all smooshed up. I was disappointed when I saw the green mush in the corner of the ziplock. When I put them in the water, many of the roots were floating separate from the tiny plants. There were many dead and rotted plants in the zip lock, I guess because shipping took 6 days. I wasn’t about to count 500 but I’m hoping that most of them will survive and grow.

I won’t buy again. Package was late by a week and it smelled horrible and nothing grew in two days time so I won’t bother buying from them again

UPDATE 2: used a broad spectrum treatment on my fish to no avail. Found it dead when I came home from work today. 24hrs from the signs of something wrong.
UPDATE: NOT EVEN 3 DAYS POST INTRODUCTION OF THIS PLANT ONE OF MY KOI HAS SOME SORT OF WHITE GROWTH, TATTY FINS AND IS SWIMMING ERRATICALLY. WHATEVER THIS WAS CARRYING MOVED VERY FAST.
I'm not sure I'm going to be able to save the fish, which means my daughter is going to be heartbroken. She JUST named the fish.
Not impressed with shipping method or packaging. It was shipped USPS, no live plant markings so it went through the sorter machine. It got dropped off late and I immediately went to my mailbox, already a sickly sweet smell had permeated the box.
I expected a rigid container as pictured in other reviews, and other plants I've purchased in the last week. Inside a smallish manilla paper envelope I found a double layer of zip lock bags, no instructions, but I assumed they would be "place in tank" so no big deal there. I was concerned about the wear and tear the plants got going through the mail like that, but not having dealt with this plant in person before I assumed if the supplier shipped it that way, it was OK.
When I emptied the bag into my tank there were a LOT of single leaves, brown bits, or broken up bits that did not float. I'd say at least 1/3 of the bag rained down on my fish. That's probably where the smell came from. I don't know, I've never bought duckweed before so I assumed it just smelled. Along with that there were bits of twigs mixed in.
I'll update in a few days to a week depending on what the plants do, but I probably won't purchase from this seller again.
