Thrive Pond Plant Food, Fish Safe Fertilizer, 30 Tablets

After years of struggling to get my pond plants to bloom properly, I finally found something that actually works. My two water lilies were producing plenty of leaves but barely any flowers, and a friend suggested I try a dedicated aquatic fertilizer instead of the generic stuff I'd been using. Picked up these Thrive tablets and honestly didn't expect much of a difference so quickly. Pushing the tablets into the soil is about as simple as it gets. No mixing, no measuring liquids, no worrying about clouds of fertilizer drifting through the water. Within about three weeks of the first application my lilies started pushing out multiple blooms at once, which hadn't happened in the two summers I'd had them. The lotus I added this year is also coming along beautifully, roots spreading out and new pads unfurling every few days. My koi and goldfish have shown zero signs of stress, which was honestly my biggest concern going in. The water stays clear and the fish behave completely normally, so whatever they put in these tablets seems genuinely safe for the whole pond ecosystem. The only tiny gripe is that 200 tablets sounds like a lot until you realize a larger lotus needs four per feeding, so heavy users might burn through a container faster than expected. Still, the results speak for themselves and I'll absolutely be buying again next season.

Very easy to use. I’ve used these tablets twice now and do believe that it has helped the growth and blooming of the pond plants in our pond.

I had bought some really expensive water plants four our small outdoor pond. I was worried because they did not seem to be thriving and maybe my media was not going to work for the roots. But I added several pellets to the roots of the plants and within days the water was as clear as a freshly cleaned swimming pool and the plants had doubled. A few days later they plants have quadrupled in size of the plant or new plants grown and the tadpoles from all the eggs our little chorus of frogs laid will have a chance this year. Last year, without the plants, they were like sitting ducks for a passing bullfrog. This product worked extremely well which is something you cannot always say about aquarium and pond products. My only criticism is that there appeared to be a number of pellets that had broken and crushed to powder. I think you can just add the powder but using the pellet is easier to get into the root system of the plants which is where you want it to go. Overall, I am very pleased with this product and will purchase again.

I fed my water lillys this product and about a week later I started to see blooms. You just push this into the soil and that's it. My Lilly's are growing like weeds!!

Essential for lilies to thrive. Lilies are heavy feeders of nutrients. Thrive provides this feeding and the results are larger more colorful lilies and pond plants.

Purchased March 18, 2026 and I have been using it on my Nymphaea odorata, which is growing and looking great. When I went to use it on May 1, 2026, I found that all the tablets have turned into powder. I would like to know how much product is in each tablets (is it about 1 teaspoon?) so I can estimate and continue to use it and not lose my $25.00. Update: Google suggested putting 1/2 to 1 tsp in coffee filter paper and twisting the top to make a quasi tablet and placing it in the soil. I tried that and it worked!

I never tried fertilizing my pond plants before, so I figured I’d give these a shot. A few weeks later, my water lilies and cattails are exploding with growth! My pond has never looked healthier!

I cannot use the dust of 60 tablets. I understand some tablets may get damaged along the way from manufacture, but this entire container is dust with no visible tablets.
