Ideal for Busy Gardeners

Not everyone has the time for a complicated fertilization routine.

By using it just twice a year, they are able to have full growth and color without having to constantly manage it.

How to Use

Using Osmocote is simple and straightforward:

1. Determine the area or container size.
• For outdoor gardens: Apply one full scoop (approximately three tablespoons) per 2-gallon pot or 4 square feet of soil.
• For indoor plants: Mix at half the outdoor rate, which is roughly 1-1/2 tablespoons per 2-gallon pot.
2. Mix into the soil. Turn or rake them into the top 1–3 inches of soil to spread coverage out.
3. Water thoroughly. Water to activate the fertilizer upon application.
4. Reapply after six months. Reapply as necessary for year-long nutrition.

A 2-lb tub can be easily used at home and larger sizes can be used in bigger gardens.
