What are Duckweed Pods?

While they look and act like seeds, these "Pods" are actually turions of the species Spirodela polyrhiza. Turions are specialized dormant buds produced by the plant to survive harsh conditions, like winter. When you add them to water and fertilizer, they "wake up" and begin to germinate.
