Not a pond person but I keep planted aquaria and am constantly
dosing
them with one nutrient or another. Do you suppose that the leaky
pond
obtained some nutrients from the surrounding soil, and that
water-topping-off to compensate for leaks also added elements that
the
plants liked? If so, water tests for macronutrients and addition of
lacking nutrients might help - don't forget the trace elements.

==========================
Another ponder here suggested 1 tbs. Potassium per 1000g of pond
water.
I've been adding that every month over the summer. It's the only
fertilizer
I use for everything but the water lilies. I use Jobe's Rose Spikes
for
them. They thrive and bloom like crazy until fall. :-)

Although I tried every suggestion regarding fertilizers I heard about,
I
never did get my Lotus to bloom. I think it finally died last summer
as it
turned brown before the fall chill.
