Main product features
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

- 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
