Does anyone know of a complete aquatic plant fertilizer that could be used
in a fish-free bowl? I want to start growing some java moss and hornwort
for a pond I'm planning. PMDD looks close, but it lacks phosphate and I
suspect is lower in nitrate and potash than I will need.


I read somewhere recently that using terrestrial fertilizers is okay for
this type of situation.

I can't remember the specific land plants the fertilizer was for though -
African Violets, Orchid ????

Any way at my local K-Mart they have these appealing terrestrial fertilizer
spikes for vegetables - they are appealing because their phospahates are
really low and so are (relatively) the nitrates. They are cheap too (about
A$3). I reckon half of a stick would do the trick
