Your plants may grow just swell, but that's not the same as "they

How is "more vigorous growth" an indicator of anything? Gardeners
frequently don't _want_ vegetative growth. Especially with lilies: we want
blooms.

Then maintain an optimal pjhosphate level. All fishfood contains
pjhosphate and fish will excrete that, but if it's not at an optimal
level you won't get optimal blooms.

better than alternatives. Your _opinion_ would seem to be that if you're
not getting the absolute maximum growth out of your plants, you're doing
something wrong.

That is to say if you're stunting your plants you're doing right?

The bigger the root the bigger the bloom.

Your _opinion_ is only "factually correct" under limited conditions - like
no fish in the pond, and you'd rather see lily pads than flowers.

I neevr said this. Ever.

disagreement in this group, but there's no need to come in here and start
telling us you have all the right answers.

Enjoy your Bonsai.
