Pod Germination Guide
Follow the step-by-step instructions below to germinate your Duckweed Pods!
Step 1
Add one packet of VersaBlend fertilizer to 4 cups (1L) of tap water. Now you have duckweed growing MEDIA. We recommend using a 6-8 cup container.
Use less media if you germinate the Pods in a smaller container.
Step 2
Empty one vial of the Duckweed Pods into the container with the duckweed growing media.
You can store unused Pods in a refrigerator for up to 1 year!
Step 3
Use the included droppers to help remove the Pods.
Place the container with growing media and Pods in a room-temperature space with plenty of light!
Turions do not require extra "grow lamps" to propagate.
Within 1 week, germination will begin. A small green "frond" will begin to grow from each Pod and float to the top of the water.
Move your germinated duckweed plants to a larger container when the entire surface is covered.
Allow your duckweed to grow for a few weeks until you have MORE THAN the desired number of plants.
Harvest what you need and leave the remaining duckweed plants to replicate.
Dry down the harvested duckweed and make a powder from it for extended storage with a clean and dry container in the refrigerator.
