Default African Lilly

Last year my AL refused to flower, but this year, thanks to advice here from
Sue, michael adams and Rupert (WYorks), I have been feeding potash,
fortnightly since mid March.

Well, it worked, I now have 3 flowering (spears?) which will probably open
in say, one month.

Should I continue to give (tomato) feed fortnightly, or should I stop now?
Thanks again.

Good luck !
I wonder if it like my water lily - the flowers come easily enough but it
takes the sunshine to open them fully.

Mine flowered for the first time last year, but only after I sent an SOS to
one of the pond groups. "raise the pots and feed" and it worked.
