How Does Osmocote® Plant Food Work?

Osmocote® Plant Food consists of a homogeneous nutrient prill coated with a semi-permeable resin derived from linseed oil.

The coating utilizes the natural principle of osmosis. Moisture in the soil penetrates the coating and dissolves the nutrients in the prill.

Nutrients are released at the same rate the plant’s root system takes-up nutrients from the soil, neither under or over-feeding the plant.

(1 scoopful = 3 tablespoons)

Spread 1 scoopful of plant food per 2 gallons of potting soil or per 4 sq. ft.
