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. This encourages the lotus to form better rhizomes.\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eFor SLOW-RELEASE FERTILIZER like Nutricote 14-4-14, 100 day fertilizer:\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e*follow amount directions on package.
