Osmocote Slow-Release Fertilizer Technology

Osmocote stands out among other plant food products, due to its ability to continuously nourish for up to several months with just one application. This major benefit comes from Osmocote slow-release fertilizer technology. The brand’s products come in a granular form, and each grain features a specialized temperature-sensitive resin coating. As soil temperatures fluctuate, the coating slowly dissolves, releasing more of the Osmocote fertilizer into the soil. As a result, root systems receive a steady supply of nutrients that they can readily absorb and put to work to power plant growth and development.

Additional Benefits of Osmocote Fertilizer

The granular form of Osmocote fertilizer also provides additional benefits. Since nutrients are released gradually, you don’t have to worry about overfeeding. Even applying up to three times the recommended amount is unlikely to damage or harm the plants.

Plus, Osmocote granular fertilizers are easy to apply. For small areas, you can shake or sprinkle on the plant food right out of the package, with no mixing or diluting required. Cover large areas with nutrient-rich Osmocote plant food in no time using a fertilizer spreader.

Osmocote Vs. Osmocote Plus

Osmocote offers two types of fertilizer products, and the difference between them comes down to their nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium ratio represented by an NPK number in the X-X-X format.

• Osmocote: Also known as Osmocote Flower and Vegetable, the original Osmocote is a 14-14-14 fertilizer blend intended for vegetable gardens, raised beds and mulched areas around ornamental trees and shrubs. One application can feed for up to 4 months.
• Osmocote Plus: Also called Osmocote Indoor and Outdoor, this plant food is a 15-9-12 blend enriched with supportive nutrients. You can use it both indoors and outdoors, and a single application can continuously nourish plants for up to 6 months.
