Aquascape Once-A-Year Fertilizer is a professional-grade, slow-release fertilizer specifically formulated to meet the long-term nutritional needs of aquatic plants. It contains a carefully balanced blend of essential nutrients that are gradually released into the plant’s root zone over an entire growing season—up to 180 days. This extended-release approach ensures consistent nutrition that supports vigorous plant growth, stronger root systems, and vibrant, long-lasting blooms. A single annual application eliminates the need for frequent fertilization, reducing maintenance for both contractors and homeowners.
Specifically designed for pond environments, this fertilizer is ideal for all types of aquatic plants, including water lilies, lotuses, marginal plants, and submerged species. It is especially effective when used with rooted plants in planting pockets or containers, allowing nutrients to be delivered directly to the root zone for maximum absorption and efficiency.
The fertilizer features a 11-3-14 NPK ratio—formulated to promote lush foliage, robust root development, and exceptional flowering. The reduced nitrogen and phosphorus content helps minimize plant stress during flowering and protects water quality by limiting nutrient runoff. This targeted nutrient blend with higher potassium is especially beneficial for flowering aquatic plants, helping to produce abundant and vivid blooms.
Aquascape Once-A-Year Fertilizer is available in both capsule and granular forms. Capsules are ideal for fertilizing established aquatic plants, as they can be easily pushed into the soil without disturbing the plant or requiring repotting. Granular fertilizer is best suited for newly potted aquatic plants, allowing for thorough nutrient mixing during planting.
