Osmocote Plant Food

The granules are coated with a semi-permeable resin. When the soil temperature rises and moisture is present, the coating allows water to enter, dissolving the nutrients inside and releasing them into the soil at a steady, consistent rate.

This formula is designed for both. It is safe for most indoor potted plants, hanging baskets, and outdoor garden beds, making it a versatile choice if you want to streamline your feeding routine across your entire collection.

You only need to apply it once every six months. The smart-release granules are engineered to provide a continuous supply of nutrients for that entire duration, so you can skip the weekly or monthly feeding schedule.

The most effective method is top dressing. Simply sprinkle the recommended amount of granules evenly onto the soil surface around the base of your plant, then water it in to help the process begin.

Because the nutrients are encapsulated, the risk of burning is significantly lower compared to quick-release liquid fertilizers. However, you should always follow the application rates listed on the packaging to ensure your plants receive the optimal amount of nutrients.
