Description: Iron and Mineral supplement for plants Type: Plant Nutrient Available In: 16, 64oz & 5 gallon Description: This product provides bio-available iron and other micronutrients for lush aquatic plant growth. It assists flowering plants and all marginal and floating pond plants. It contains no phosphates, nitrates, or silicates to cause undesirable algae or slime growths. Kent WaterGarden Aquatic Plant Supplement will encourage marginal and floating plants to use the nitrates and phosphates that are naturally available from fish excrement and tap water pollutants, thereby effectively removing those nutrients from the algae. Use on a regular basis, particularly if leaves are yellowing. Directions: Add one to three teaspoons (capfuls) per 100 gallons of water garden capacity every week during the growing season, depending on the number of plants. Considerations for use: Kent WaterGarden Aquatic Plant Supplement provides nine essential trace minerals for lush growth of aquatic plants. Our goal is to provide Sustained Long-term Results. To this end, Aquatic Plant Supplement contains no fertilizers which tend to encourage unwanted algae growth. Aquatic Plant Supplement is as strong or stronger than any plant supplement or fertilizer on the market. The iron used is chelated to provide for long term feeding. It is yellow in color, and is the most expensive iron available. Unlike iron oxide (rust) and other dark brown irons, it will stay in solution longer and provide sustained iron to plants over a long period of time. Do not be fooled by the lightness of the color and do not overdose your system because of the color. Do not use more than twice the recommended dosage. Since Aquatic Plant Supplement contains no fertilizers (i.e. phosphates and nitrates), it may be necessary to supplement those nutrients for heavy feeding plants by using a true fertilizer. If fertilizer tablets are used, they should be applied directly to the roots of such plants, beneath a heavy layer of mud, to prevent the entry of the undesirable fertilizers into the water itself! Never add products containing phosphates and nitrates directly to the water, as this would certainly encourage green algae growth! Contents: Deionized water, iron, potassium, boron, manganese, magnesium, copper, cobalt, zinc, and molybdenum, EDTA and inorganic stabilizers. Precautions: Not for human consumption. Not for fish used for human consumption. Do not use in natural waters! Keep out of reach of children!
