Aquascape Pond Plant Fertilizer Capsules, 12-Pack — Once-A-Year Time-Release 11-3-14 NPK

Aquascape Once-A-Year Pond Plant Fertilizer Capsules (12-pack, model 89011) are time‑release nutrient capsules designed to feed established pond plants for up to 180 days with an 11-3-14 NPK formula.

These capsules offer a low‑maintenance way to nourish waterlilies, lotus and other aquatic plants without frequent reapplication. The formula emphasizes potassium to support flowering while keeping phosphorus modest and avoiding excess nitrogen — a balance intended to encourage plant health and reduce conditions that favor algae. Each capsule is sized and shaped for easy insertion into pond soil around established plants.

How long will one capsule feed my pond plants?

Each capsule contains a time‑release matrix that dissolves gradually, delivering nutrients over an extended period. Expect coverage of roughly 120–180 days depending on water temperature and plant uptake, so one annual application is usually sufficient for established specimens.

• Feeds plants for up to 180 days under typical conditions
• Time‑release delivery reduces need for repeat doses
• Duration varies with season and plant growth rate

Will these capsules cause algae problems in my pond?

The formula is deliberately low in phosphorus and avoids excess nitrogen, which helps limit nutrients that can fuel algae outbreaks. Proper placement—pushing capsules into the soil at the plant crown—keeps nutrients close to roots and reduces free nutrient release into open water.

• Low phosphorus content minimizes algae risk
• Root‑targeted placement prevents excess surface nutrients
• Works best combined with good pond circulation and filtration

How do I apply the Aquascape fertilizer capsules correctly?

Application is straightforward: gently move aside a small amount of soil or substrate, press the capsule into the root zone, and cover it back up. These capsules are intended for established plants; use granular fertilizer options from Aquascape for newly potted plants.

• Insert capsule into soil near the plant crown
• Cover with substrate to keep capsule in place
• Apply once per year for established pond plants

What kind of results should I expect in terms of growth and flowering?

The 11-3-14 NPK balance is formulated to support steady vegetative growth and strong flowering, with a higher potassium proportion to encourage blooms. Over a season, you should see fuller foliage and improved bloom production in lilies, lotuses, and flowering marginal plants.

• High potassium helps promote more abundant flowers
• Balanced nitrogen supports healthy foliage without overstimulation
• Consistent, long‑lasting nutrient release for sustained growth

Who is this for: Aquascape Once‑A‑Year Pond Plant Fertilizer Capsules are best for pond owners with established aquatic plants who want a simple, low‑effort feeding schedule. If you maintain waterlilies, lotus, or mature marginal plants and prefer an annual application that targets roots and reduces surface nutrient release, this 12‑pack (model 89011) provides measured, time‑release nutrition to support seasonal growth and enhanced flowering.
