When to use
An application of Osmocote® TOTAL lasts for 8 months. It is best applied at the beginning of spring and can be applied again in autumn.
How Osmocote® TOTAL works
This controlled release fertiliser contains all the nutrients needed for healthy plant growth. The nutrients are released according to temperature – more when it’s warm and plants are growing well, less when it’s cold.
The addition of an excellent wetting agent, Hydraflo2, enhances water absorption into the soil and helps plants take up more nutrients.
