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.

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.

Grow your plants
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.

I have lily flowers again!!!!
I have lily flowers again!!! We bought a house with a koi pond, and the lily flowers were beautiful. Last summer, we hardly had any, and I (wrongfully) assumed that just because there was muck in the pond that other plants thrived off of, that these lilies would be fine without anything. Wrong! The last owners left a partial bag of another brand (ends in tabbs....) and it was mostly powder. I am usually not a fan of API as their other products aren't that great for fish and plants (Microblift is a much, much better brand.....), however, these all came as complete tabs, intact, and I HAVE LILY FLOWERS AGAIN!!!!!!!! They are simple to use, just grab one and press it down in the mush near the roots of the plants. Or any aquatic plants. The perfect size to use without burning the plants or under nourishing them. I have them on my subscribe and save now and will use every two to three weeks. Very happy!!! Great value for the fact for a few dollars, I have a much prettier pond, and my lily pads have increased giving shade and protection for my koi.

Good in aquarium
I use them in my aquarium because their normal root tabs are incredibly expensive for what you get. Make sure to cut them into 1/4s with scissors(easy to do). They work the same as the aquarium ones. I also have the same complaint: they dissolve VERY easily so you need to work fast.

Good for roots to take hold.
I tried this soil for a lotus water garden. I am not well experienced. I know now that a productive lotus garden works better with organic mud. The clay based soil was good for roots to take hold. But I still needed more nutrients to sustain the plants. I will try again when the weather gets warmer.
