Overview
- OSMOCOTE QUALITY: Osmocote is the original slow-release plant food. Decades of rigorous field testing confirm product effectiveness with hundreds of plant species in a variety of climate and soil conditions.
- OSMOCOTE’S BEST FORMULA: Each homogeneous granule contains 15-9-12 NPK plus micro and secondary nutrients and feeds up to 6 full months.
- OSMOCOTE’S SECRET: Soil temperature controls how Osmocote releases its nutrients, and more importantly how nutrients are taken up by the plant. Replenishment and feeding are in natural harmony.
- OSMOCOTE’S DIRECTIONS FOR USE: 1 pound of Osmocote covers 37.5 sq. ft. (approx. 6’ x 6’). Works best when mixed into 1 – 3 inches of soil. Package includes applicator. In containers, mix 1 pound with 19 gallons of potting soil.
- OSMOCOTE IS MISTAKE-PROOF: Even if over-applied up to 3x the recommended rate, Osmocote does not ‘burn’ the plant.
- OSMOCOTE CONFIDENCE: Performance is guaranteed. If unsatisfied, return the empty package to The Scotts Company for a full refund.

Slow Release Formula
I've been looking to step up my game with gardening thus year. Last year, my husband and I bought a fertilizer that needed to be applied every week. We saw results when we remembered to fertilize. This formula has been a lot more convenient for our lifestyle. We love that this has a slow release formula and the fact that you only need to apply it once every 6 months. It's very easy to use, and they include simple directions right on the bottle. So far this has been working as expected. My plants have been popping up strongly, and it is only early spring where I live. I can't wait to see how this continues to perform throughout the growing season.

Makes my plants grow like crazy!
I received this smart-release plant food from Influencer and Osmocote in response for my honest review. I’ve been using this plant fertilizer for a while now on my household/indoor plants and absolutely love it! I love how I don’t have to put liquid fertilizer in my water for my plants every time I water and I can just throw some of this in and not have to feed them again for a few months. I’ve really noticed a difference in the speed of growth and the size of my plants leaves! They definitely love this fertilizer! I will be purchasing this stuff again and would highly recommend it to a friend for indoor plants!

Fabulous feeder
I'm really looking forward to the results of this plant food later in the year. I love that it has 11 essential nutrients and is versatile to use with virtually all plant varieties. Super easy to use -- just sprinkle around your indoor or outdoor plant, and mix into the soil. This says it feeds for 6 months. I've used this around my foot trees and a potted palm that is struggling. Hopefully my palm thrives after this!

amazing plant food
I have to say that this is exceptional. And it came in perfect timing as I wanted new outdoor flowers. I mixed this in the soil right away. It has a smart release so you only need to add to soil twice a year as opposed to others that can be every three months. Awesome product.

Time will tell
I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review. The 2 lb package is a really large bottle, so it will last a long time! I used it in the new pots that I used for propagating recently, but it's still too early to know what effect it will have on the growth. According to the package, it contains 11 nutrients and has an extended release to feed for up to six months.

Plant food plus
I received this product to test in return for my honest review. Easy to use, 1 cap full per 2 gallon pot. Bury 1 to 3 inches and water regularly. Reapply every 6 months. So 6 plants are looking healthier. Will update after been using longer.

Indoor plants friend
With harsh cold weathers I use this plant food for some of my plants to sustain and still grow indoors. They grow green and healthy I won’t say they grow as they flourish naturally but surely with this boost they had more leaves than what I saw them without this food. This was my first nothings this year and Will continue to feed this to my plants

Good Fertilizer, but leaves behind plastic shells
Good Fertilizer, but leaves behind plastic shells in soil. So if you use this you are introducing microplastics into the soil. Wish it came with a biodegradable shell
