Nearly all aquatic plants obtain nutrients through their roots, and will not grow well unless all of the necessary nutrients are available. If the manganese level is low, new plant growth will appear yellowish. A lack of calcium slows growth and increases susceptibility of fungal and bacterial diseases. Water lilies, for example, are heavy feeders and must have a constant supply of nutrients for vigorous growth, flowering, and winter hardiness.
Directions for Use: Start feeding in the spring when pond water temperature reaches 50ºF (10ºC). Feed plants once a month until the water temperature reaches 70ºF (21ºC), then feed twice a month. In the fall, stop using when the water temperature drops below 60ºF (15ºC).
Use 1 tablet for every gallon of soil. Push tablet(s) 3"-6" into soil, 3" from crown of plant.
