For example, most of the small tablets are added at a ratio of 1-2 tablets per gallon of soil in the pot. Once the lotus has started to grow vigorously tablets can be added every 2-3 weeks. Stop fertilizing in late summer to allow the lotus to use up all the fertilizer in the pot before going dormant.

The plate-like form of the fully open lotus gives it a distinctive visual presence. It is a low-growing lotus, has a more horizontal habit and likes short, wide pots and shallow water. It is absolutely perfect on a patio table or use it in front of a taller lotus for added dimension! 'Pink Butterfly' has the added attraction of being one of the easiest lotus to grow--it is an all-around winner! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlower Color: Versicolor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePlant Height: Bowl, up 13\" tall\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFlower Type: Single or Few Petals, less than 20 petals\u003cbr\u003e Pot Size: 10\" and wider, 4\"-10\" deep\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHOW TO FERTILIZE LOTUS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eFor conventional fertilizer (tablets or loose prills) which releases quickly when water is added:\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWait until the lotus plant has several floating leaves or begins to put up aerial leaves before adding fertilizer.\u003cbr\u003e Choose a good fertilizer such as Waterlily World Tablets, Pondtabbs or Landon's Aquatic Fertilizer and follow the instructions carefully.
