Osmocote Blend

This formula is engineered for a release duration of 8 to 9 months. It provides a consistent, steady supply of nutrients throughout that entire period, making it ideal for a full growing season.

While it is designed for general ornamental feeding, including foliage and nursery stock, it is primarily formulated for professional horticultural settings. If using indoors, ensure your pots have excellent drainage and monitor your plants closely, as the controlled-release granules are highly effective.

Both methods are effective with this product, but incorporation is often preferred for new plantings to ensure even distribution.

This blend includes a 'Quickstart' formulation designed to provide an immediate nutrient boost to your plants right after application. The remaining nutrients are then released gradually over the 8 to 9-month period to sustain that growth.

Yes, beyond the primary NPK ratio of 18-5-12, this blend is enriched with essential micronutrients including magnesium, sulfur, iron, manganese, and zinc. These are critical for supporting overall plant health, vibrant foliage, and robust root development.
