Since water column fertilization gets a bit out of hand.. I keep adding and adding but see nothing change in the plants.. It obviously says it simply isn't sufficient enough, so i switch to root feeding and see where it goes..
Got me some extra plant food today, the good old Velda Blue Clay balls..
I've used often in the past, sometimes with mixed feelings and results, it didn't always do what i expected it to do.. And the label doesn't realy say what's in it.. It likely is a straight forward natural product that doesn't get analized nor enriched and likely different contents per batch. Dunno, Velda doesn't sem to bother, other than telling it brings your pond to life. 🙄 Take the word for it..
Found something new, at least for me it is.. And it doesn't seem to have a brand name, other than 10-14-8 (N-P-K). This i added to the baskets from the plants i think that are showing clear N difficiency.. And see how it goes..
Never used it before and it definitively is an artificial source.. That bright blue color kinda reminds of a product i used long time ago for terrestrial plants called Miracel Grow. It has about the same color tho that M grow was a crystalline powder and plants grew on it like mad. I guess it might just be that mixed with clay... This one clearly says Food for Aqautic plants and what it contains. Anyway, thats promissing for a start.. Now it's waiting to see if and when it hits in, should be within 2 weeks..
I noticed with repotting pond plants that the nurseries add something that looks like Osmocote. Some kind of tiny gelly ball. Not sure if i ever going to try that in submersed soil. But if nurseries do put it in with pond plants i guess it can't harm. I can't realy find any pond plant information about using it.. I wonder..
