Flower ALERT!!!

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.

A Must Read! I Cited it in my Book!
This book is a worthy read. It was good enough that I had to cite it in my book: The Real Wakandas of Africa: Dr. John Henrik Clarke vs. Herman Cain. The real value in this book is how it shaped the perspective of many black churches in America. In fact, it should be mandatory reading for every leader of a black church. The author maps a framework that was considered to be cutting edge for the churches of his day. This author was impacted by leaders such as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X. In fact, he has another book on these leaders. Surely, this book was influenced by his perspective on these two great black men. You’ll find this work provides both a home for black Christian thought and a framework for the worship of christianity in the black community. However, you might not agree with every idea. As with any work that attempts to forge a new ideology, a certain dogma can come along with that ideology. Indeed, this is needed in many arenas that impact black people. Nevertheless, this book is a classic and an important read. If you wish to understand more about ways in which to improve the black community through the church, this book is fundamental. It is a must read!

Clear meaning of Black theology and black power.
Format: Kindle
Characteristics and values fundamental to understanding these concepts are laid down in a manner that is unambiguously easy to understand. What the author prioritizes is to highlight the worthiness of being black and the importance of feeling proud that one is black, blackness here is confined within the boundaries defined by a black man himself, not by a white man. Knowing the characteristics of a true black man will inadvertently lead one to understand how black theology should be applied in revitalizing one's true calling in this world. People make people to be slaves or second class citizens, but what another man things of you is not your true calling.
Very good book, I would recommend this book for any novice of advanced person seeking to understand his true calling, his being black (also white people can read it, it will help them rectify their mistakes or change their course in how they treat non-whites).

Powerful and unsettling.
Format: Kindle
This classic by James Cone is a challenge to anyone who thinks it is easy to be Christian in America. It should be read by all white people. The god of the bible is the god of oppressed people. Ask yourself who is oppressed in america. Follow that question to its logical conclusion and you will see why this book is a must read.

The Genesis of Black Theology
James Cone’s initial foray into the intentional development of a black theology ought be required reading for any serious Christian theologian. It challenges long-standing Christian claims by challenging not so much the claims themselves, but the racist presuppositions to those claims. The language is contextual, I suspect, offensive to many. But the language is effective in illuminating the racist presuppositions. Read with a critical eye, one can indeed find under-developed theological claims that could bear sharpened revision. But as with any first revolutionary theological work, the brilliance lies in the courageous and compelling insight that demands personal reflection and dare I say ... theological modification.
