Pruning wolffia arrhiza — FAQ
When should I prune wolffia arrhiza?
As needed during the growing season. Use a fine-mesh pond net to skim excess Wolffia from the water surface. The plants are tiny (1 mm), so a very fine net is needed. Remove skimmed material completely from the water body.
How often does wolffia arrhiza need pruning?
As needed. Wolffia arrhiza (rootless duckweed, watermeal) is the world's smallest flowering plant — a free-floating aquatic speck with no stems, leaves or roots to prune. Maintenance means controlling its population by physically skimming excess from the water surface. Pruning is not applicable; population thinning is the only management required.
