Aquatic Plant Fertiliser Tablets 25 Pack

Aquatic Plant Fertiliser | Slow Release Pond Plant Tablets

Slow release fertiliser tablets for pond plants, waterlilies and aquatic baskets, helping support stronger roots, healthier growth and better seasonal performance.

Controlled release fertiliser tablets for healthy aquatic plant growth

Aquatic Plant Fertiliser is a slow release pond plant fertiliser designed to support healthy growth in marginal pond plants, waterlilies, deep water plants and aquatic planting baskets. These nutrient rich tablets are placed directly into the aquatic soil, where they feed the plant roots gradually rather than releasing nutrients straight into the pond water.

This is especially important in ponds. Ordinary garden fertilisers are not suitable for aquatic planting because they can release nutrients too quickly, upsetting the natural balance of the pond and potentially encouraging algae. These slow release tablets are designed to deliver nutrients in a more controlled way, helping the plant receive the feed where it needs it most, inside the basket and around the root zone.

Each tablet weighs 5 g and is held together with a water soluble adhesive that breaks down gradually after planting. This controlled release design helps avoid a sudden nutrient dump into the water and supports steady plant development over time. When used correctly, the tablets are suitable for planted pond baskets and are safe for fish and pond wildlife.

Aquatic Plant Fertiliser is particularly useful when planting into fresh aquatic soil, repotting established plants or dividing waterlilies and marginal plants in spring. It helps encourage strong root development, better foliage growth and improved plant performance throughout the growing season. It is especially helpful for hungry aquatic plants such as waterlilies, irises and stronger growing marginal plants that can quickly use up nutrients in their baskets.

The tablets are simple to use. Push the required number into the aquatic soil, cover well and make sure they are not left exposed on the surface. For waterlilies and rhizomatous plants, place the tablet into the soil near the root zone but not directly against the rhizome or crown. This gives the plant access to nutrients while reducing the chance of localised damage.

Each pack contains 25 tablets, making it ideal for seasonal pond plant care, basket planting, waterlily repotting and regular pond maintenance. Use alongside aquatic soil, Finofil Aquatic Baskets and a gravel top dressing for the best planting setup.

Reasons to buy Aquatic Plant Fertiliser

Aquatic Plant Fertiliser is a great choice if you want your pond plants to establish strongly and perform well through the growing season. Plants grown in baskets have a limited amount of soil, so nutrients can become depleted over time, especially with vigorous marginals and waterlilies.

These slow release tablets feed the plant through the roots, helping avoid unnecessary nutrient release into the open pond water. This makes them a much better option than standard garden fertilisers for aquatic planting.

They are especially useful when repotting pond plants in spring. Adding fertiliser at planting time gives the roots access to fresh nutrients as the plant begins active growth.

This product is also useful for waterlilies, which are heavier feeding plants and often benefit from additional feeding to support stronger leaves and better flowering.

How to use

Apply in spring as plants begin active growth.

Push the tablet into the aquatic soil inside the plant basket.

Cover the tablet fully with soil so it is not exposed to the pond water.

For waterlilies or rhizomatous plants, place the tablet into the soil near the roots but not directly against the rhizome or crown.

Use with aquatic soil, not loose in the pond.

Do not throw tablets directly into the pond water.

After fertilising, top dress the basket with aquatic gravel if required to help keep the soil and tablets in place.

Wash hands after use.

Dosage and usage guide

Standard dosage:

• 1 x 5 g tablet per 2 litre pot

• 1 x 5 g tablet per 3 litre pot

• 2 x 5 g tablets for heavy feeding plants

For larger baskets or hungry plants, additional feeding may be required depending on plant type, basket size and growth rate.

Always push tablets well into the soil and cover completely.

Do not exceed sensible feeding rates, as overfeeding can encourage soft growth and may increase unwanted nutrients if tablets are disturbed.

Care and storage instructions

Store tablets in a cool, dry place away from children and pets.

Keep the pack sealed when not in use.

Do not leave tablets exposed in the pond or on top of the soil.

Use only inside aquatic baskets or planted containers.
