Marianne's Response

Osmocote is a general purpose fertilizer good for house plants (use at half the recommended amount for indoor plants) and for outdoor plants such as vegetables, flowers and potted outdoor plants. Osmocote is a slow release plant food which means it is released slowly to the plants when the product is exposed to warmth and moisture. This way the plants get only what they need when they need it. During cold weather or when the soil is dry the product will not be released as the plants will not be growing.  Osmocote also comes in a form for acid loving plants such as camellias, rhododendrons and azaleas. You can be confident using Osmocote for all your plants as the plants get only what they need. Keep growing, Marianne Binetti
