Question 2

Why the lotus growth only leaves, no flowers come out?  Is the Pondtabbs for leaves only?

Accepted Answer

Hello,
Thanks for the question!
That could depend on a few variables such as fertilization rate, age of plant, size of pot, and length of growing season in your area. Lotus can be very challenging. Continue to fertilize and be patient. If you are getting significant leaf production I would assume a blossom to be on its way. I have seen them begin to develop as late as October, which can be a let down as we get frost in our area.
Have a great day!

Question 3

Should it be added during winter?

Accepted Answer

Hello,
Thanks for asking.
We would recommend fertilization in the growing months when the plants are consuming and needing the most amount of nutrients. There is no real need to fertilize during dormancy. Feed your plants monthly during the growing season at a rate of one tablet per gallon of soil. When water temperatures rise above 72 degrees, increase to feeding every two weeks. Insert the Pondtabbs® deep into the soil 3" from the crown of the plant. When using multiple tablets, space uniformly around the plant. Nutrients will release within five minutes.
I hope this is helpful!

Question 4

What is the N-P-K ratio?

Accepted Answer

The basic nutrient ratio for all plants:  nitrogen (N), Phosphate (P), Potasium (P). The amount for each basic mineral represented by the figure N-P-P. I am not sure what k represents unless there is a mistake somewhere. This product stresses the middle nutrient Phosphate, that plants use to produce flowers.
