Review: Lush Blooms and Healthy Growth - These pond tablets were recommended to me by my local garden center for my lotus flowers in my pot garden, and I must say, I'm impressed with the results. These fertilizer tablets are specifically designed for pond plants, making them an ideal choice for my lotus flowers. The tablets are easy to use – simply insert them into the soil near the roots of the plants. I appreciate the convenience they offer, as there's no need for measuring or mixing. What sets these tablets apart is their effectiveness. Since I started using them, I've noticed a significant improvement in the growth and vitality of my lotus flowers. They're producing more vibrant blooms, and the foliage looks healthier than ever before. The tablets provide a steady supply of essential nutrients, ensuring that my plants receive the nourishment they need to thrive. One thing to note is that these tablets can be quite potent, so it's essential to follow the instructions carefully to avoid over-fertilizing. Additionally, I recommend using gloves when handling them, as they can be messy. Overall, I'm highly satisfied with this convenient solution for keeping my lotus flowers healthy and flourishing. If you're looking for a reliable pond plant fertilizer, I highly recommend giving these tablets a try.
Review: Made some serious greenery in my 50gal. Tank - Was having a hard time getting plants established in my tank. Did so much to make a nice bed layer for the plants and they just wouldn’t not grow. Had some pellets left over from a koi pond in a prior abode, and shoved one under the surface gravel, near each new plant. Worked amazingly. Plants took off. Also, very importantly, it did not seem to increase the algae growth. Now, every other tank cleaning I put a half pellet next to the plant (or if there are several in a groups, put one in the middle, and it’s keeps them growing and healthy.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the fertilizer ratio, i.e. 18-4-6 or ???.  Thanks!**
A: Don't know what the iron ratio is but the plants just love it. Follow directions and don't use it in the winter.

**Q: Without a ratio number I would not trust these?**
A: they recommend 1 tablet per gallon pot

**Q: Can I use the aquatic fertilizer for flower plant in the garden?**
A: You probably should not use them for plants not in aquatic environments.  The fertilizer is in hard pellets that are meant to dissolve slower in water.  If it is to be used on dry land, you probably have to crush them---lots of work and not cost effective. Hope this helps

**Q: I just have one water lily bulb with two small leaves. do i need to wait till i have more leaves? or can i add it now?**
A: I would absolutely add NOW!   I can see a difference when I use this stuff!  I add once a month during spring & summer!   I just drop tablet into pot.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Grow your plants
*by C***L on September 26, 2025*

It's fertilizer, it makes your plants grow bigger and bigger and bigger. I never setup a tank without these they are great for getting new plants and old plants established. I add new tabs in every 30-45 on new tanks at 1st until the substrate gets established then I use them every 60 days ish but don't follow my instructions that's just what works for me.
