Aquascape pond plant fertilizer granular 2 lb — Once-A-Year 11-3-14 time-release, up to 180-day feeding

Aquascape Once-A-Year Pond Plant Fertilizer is a time-release, granular 11-3-14 formula that feeds aquatic plants for up to 180 days so you only need to apply once a year.

Designed for waterlilies, lotus, marginal and submerged pond plants, this granular fertilizer delivers a steady supply of nutrients without frequent reapplications. The balanced 11-3-14 NPK ratio emphasizes potassium for better flowering while keeping phosphorus low to help limit algae-friendly nutrient spikes. The slow-release technology reduces stress on roots and helps newly potted plants establish strong growth with minimal maintenance.

How does this fertilizer feed pond plants all season?

The granular formula dissolves gradually, releasing nutrients over an extended period so plants receive steady nourishment rather than a short burst. It avoids repeated applications by providing up to 180 days of coverage, which simplifies pond care routines.

• Time-release granules dissolve slowly for long-term feeding
• 11-3-14 NPK supplies nitrogen, low phosphorus, high potassium
• Up to 180 days of nutrient release per application

Will this reduce algae risk while still promoting blooms?

The formula contains low phosphorus and controlled nitrogen levels to lower the chance of nutrient runoff that can fuel algae. High potassium supports stronger flowering in waterlilies and lotus without the excess phosphorus that often encourages algal growth.

• Low phosphorus content reduces algae-promoting runoff
• Moderated nitrogen prevents plant stress and excessive leaf growth
• Potassium-rich mix encourages better flower production

How should I apply the granules to newly potted and established plants?

For newly potted plants, mix granules into the planting soil or apply around the root ball to encourage early establishment. For established plants, place granules near the crown or root zone; Aquascape also offers capsule options for tight crown placement when preferred.

• New pots: blend granules into planting media for consistent release
• Established plants: scatter granules around the root area or crown
• Alternate option: use push-in capsules for precise placement

How long before I see results and what maintenance is needed?

Visible improvement in vigor and flowering can appear within weeks as roots absorb nutrients, with ongoing benefits through the release period. Minimal maintenance is required—apply once and monitor water and plant health; reapply the following season as needed.

• Notable growth and blooms often within a few weeks
• Single annual application for a full season of feeding
• Regular pond care (debris removal, water checks) complements fertilizer

Who this is for: Aquascape Once-A-Year Pond Plant Fertilizer is suited for pond owners who want fewer feedings, stronger flowering waterlilies and lotus, and low-maintenance nutrient management. It's ideal for hobbyists with containers and in-ground beds who prefer a measured, slow-release fertilizer that supports season-long growth without frequent dosing.
