I didn't add any fertilizer to the pond for the hyacinth. It was my first
year last year with these plants. Should I give them any treatment other
than throwing them in.

========================
I add about 2 heaping Tbs. Potassium (for gardens) when I add the floating
plants. That's the ONLY fertilizer I add to the pond water. Koi will still
nibble the roots to the point where my water hyacinth doesn't thrive.
