A no-fuss, set and forget controlled release plant food for all potted plants growing indoors and in all types of pots, tubs, barrels,  planters and boxes. The smart way to fertilize - one application feeds continuously for up to six months.

FEATURES

• The release of nutrients depends on temperature - more when it's warm and plants are growing and less when it's cold and growth is slow
• Scotts Osmocote® uses advanced prill technology that ensures even and controlled nutrient release with no wastage
• Controlled release means feeding less often and more effectively; less frequent feeding is more economical and environment-friendly
• Added wetting agent enhances water absorption into the soil or potting mix and helps plants take up nutrients
• Less than 2% phosphorus (the 'P' in NPK) means it can be safely used on most Australian natives

SUITABLE FOR

• Flowering and leafy potted plants regardless of container size or form
• Palms
• Orchids and ferns
• Safe to use on new plants - the controlled release of nutrients means it will not burn soft leaves or tender young roots

NOT SUITABLE FOR

• Do not use in hydroponic growing systems, ponds or pots submerged in water
• Do not use on lawns - use only specifically named fertilizers on grassed areas

APPLICATION RATES

Note: TBL - tablespoon = 15g

• Established pots - sprinkle at the recommended rate over potting mix, lightly mix in and water thoroughly to initiate nutrient release
• Self-watering pots - make 10cm deep holes* in the potting mix with a pencil or long skewer a few centimetres in from the rim of the pot and fill with columns of Scotts Osmocote® (share the rate suggested above equally between the holes). Water from the top once or twice to start the feeding process.

*The number of holes will depend on the size of the pot - as a guide, three equally spaced holes would be enough for a 20cm diameter pot
