Lotus Approaching the End of Summer

[greatbarrierreef]

I have some lotus leaves turning light green, with the occasional yellow spots. I was curious if anyone else was also experiencing this by now. The tempratures around here have been ranging between highs of 80s and 90s

How often are you fertilizing? I'm getting some browning on some leaves due to the heat but yellowing may be due to lack of nutrients..

After the aerial leaves came in I was fertilizing every 2-3 weeks. I read online that one should stop fertilizing in mid July so around that time I added 2 slow-release tabs and have left it alone since then

I'll do a lot of things to build my pond . give mother nature the best stage i can to thrive but you will NEVER see me crouched down talking to my plants.
