Bold Protector blooms all summer long!

Occasionally produces striped flowers!

HOW TO FERTILIZE LOTUS
For conventional fertilizer (tablets or loose prills) which releases quickly when water is added:
Wait until the lotus plant has several floating leaves or begins to put up aerial leaves before adding fertilizer.
Choose a good fertilizer such as Waterlily World Tablets, Pondtabbs or Landon's Aquatic Fertilizer and follow the instructions carefully. The amount of fertilizer to use is usually based on the size of the pot and the amount of soil in the pot. 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.
For SLOW-RELEASE FERTILIZER like Nutricote 14-4-14, 100 day fertilizer:
*follow amount directions on package. Place fertilizer around the bottom of the pot then add soil. Plant rhizome in the soil at the top of soil layer and let it grow down to find fertilizer. We use slow-release fertilizer but begin adding extra Pondtabbs after 3 months when growth gets vigorous and we continue adding extra fertilizer until late summer.
Do NOT use 360 day fertilizer because it will release fertilizer for too long and the lotus will not form as many rhizomes when it goes dormant.

Protection with days of white residue
Style: SPF 50 Roll On, Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Mineral sunscreens have yet to master blending in and this is no different. If you're thinking of hitting the beach with your sexy bum protected it'd better be a ghost beach because you'll look like you've been dipped in white paint. Oh, and it doesn't wash off, so be prepared to look like Casper for days to come.
It rolls on fine if you shake it well first and it does protect.

Amazing!
Size: 2.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This sunscreen is amazing! I love that it goes on blue and then turns clear. It’s helping my kids learn to put it on themselves. It also stays on good and we haven’t had any sunburns even on the beach.

Great product
Size: 2.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
We really love the roll-on application of the sunscreen. It's great quality and ease for use is perfect for both parents and kids to use. It does require some extra rubbing in after rolled on, but it's perfect in order to see any areas that may or may not have been missed. I recommend and will purchase again.

Great sunscreen!
Size: 2.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
My kids used to hate putting sunscreen on, but with this one they do it without complaining. The light green color makes it easy to see, and the roll-on design is super simple for kids to use. They actually enjoy it. It feels like they’re painting their face and body, which makes it fun. The only downside is that it leaks a little.

Good protection, easy to tell where it was applied
Size: 2.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Putting sunscreen on kids can be a struggle. This product does many things well: easy to put on, no stinging eyes or coughing like there is with spray, provides good coverage, lasts a long time while sweating, and blocks sun well. But the really cool part is it goes on blue initially (dries clear/slightly white). This is helpful when my little one puts on his own sunscreen because it makes it easier to see the spots he missed (usually many) and helps ensure he fills in the gaps.
Also great for the adults - I used it on vacation when I ran out of mine and it worked very well (great if you have arm hair too - not as sticky as many others)
