Feeds when plants need it |

Sustainable & environment friendly |
Scotts Osmocote® uses advanced prill technology that ensures even and controlled nutrient release with no wastage |
|
Wetting agent |
The added wetting agent enhances water absorption into the soil or potting mix and helps plants take up nutrients |
|

Less than 2% phosphorus (the 'P' in NPK) means it can be safely used on most Australian natives |

How it Works
- The release of nutrients from the fertiliser depends on potting mix and ambient temperature, not soil moisture
- When the weather is warm in Spring, Summer and early Autumn, plants need more food and the fertiliser releases quicker
- In Winter, when soil and air temperatures are lower, plants need less food because their growth rate is reduced, and less plant food is released
How to use
- Pots, Planters & Indoors is for all plants growing in containers and planter boxes to promote healthy growth, beautiful flowers and generous fruiting
- Use the rates in the table below as a guide for how much to apply
| Application Rates | |
|---|---|
| Pot Diameter | Amount of Scotts Osmocote |
| 15cm 20cm 25cm 30cm |
1 TBL 2 TBL 3 TBL 5 TBL |
Note: TBL - tablespoon = 15g
- Established pots - sprinkle at recommended rate over potting mix, lightly mix in and water thoroughly to initiate nutrient release
- Self-watering pots - make 10cm deep holes in the potting mix with a pencil or long skewer a few centimetres in from the rim of the pot and fill with columns of Scotts Osmocote® (share the rate suggested above equally between the holes). Water from the top once or twice to start the feeding process. The number of holes will depend on the size of the pot - as a guide, three equally spaced holes would be enough for a 20cm diameter pot.
When to use
- Add to potting mix when transplanting or repotting, if the mix does not already contain a controlled release fertiliser
- Apply in early Spring, when soils are warming and plants are putting on new growth and repeat in early Autumn
Technical details
- NPK 15.3 : 2 : 12.6
- Contains sulphur to maintain healthy green leaves
- Scotts Osmocote® is a controlled release fertiliser that consists of prills (small beads) of high quality fertiliser encased in a permeable and biodegradable soy extract coating
- Each prill contains a balanced micro dose of nutrients so a plant's response from an application is reliable and consistent
