Osmocote®
The Original Controlled
Release Plant Food™
Osmocote® Landscape Formula is suitable for general
purpose fertilising of flowering trees, shrubs and borders.
It provides all the essential nutrition plus boosted iron
and Magnesium needed to promote beautiful blooms,
lush foliage and strong root growth.
Osmocote® is environmentally safe and will not
burn plants when used as directed. This product
contains a unique soil wetting agent to the help soil
hold more water.
Osmocote® works with Nature.
Osmocote® contains all of the nutrients your plant
needs including essential trace elements for a
healthier plant.
Soil moisture activates Osmocote® Controlled Release
Plant Food but Osmocote® soya bean oil resin coating
only releases the plant food in response to soil
temperature. Osmocote® controls the release of the
plant food ensuring the plant receives nutrition when
needed. Osmocote® minimises fertiliser waste, run-off
and leaching.

### Directions for Use
For Established Plants – Sprinkle Osmocote® on the soil
around your plants every 6 months during the growing season.
At Planting – Mix Osmocote® into the backfill soil. Fill around
the roots in the planting hole with the enriched soil and water
thoroughly.
Reapply in 6 months according to the maintenance rates.
When to Apply – For best results, apply in spring before
landscape plants put on new growth or flower and again in
summer, to maintain flowering through to autumn.

### Helpful Hints:
* Work Osmocote® into the top 10cm of soil mulch.
This technique delivers the nutrients directly to the
plant’s root system.
* Water Osmocote® in thoroughly to start the feeding
process and to settle the soil around transplants, eliminating
air pockets that might allow roots to dry out.
