How Osmocote Plus Organics Fruit & Citrus works

This plant food and soil improver nurtures plant growth both above and below the ground - it feeds both the soil and the plant. It includes

  • Original Osmocote® controlled release fertiliser granules that release nutrients when plants need them most for up to 6 months.

  • Added organic matter such as composted manure, blood and bone, seaweed and fish that organically enrich the soil and encourage beneficial microbial and earthworm activity.

  • Natural gypsum, a clay breaker that improves the soil and adds calcium

  • An excellent wetting agent that enhances water absorption into the soil and helps plants take up more nutrients

Quick facts

Osmocote® Plus Organics Fruit & Citrus has an NPK of 12.8 : 2.2 : 3.5 and contains

  • added organic matter
  • natural gypsum
  • wetting agent
  • a range of essential trace elements

How to use

Using the rate recommended on the container for best results, mix through the planting soil if planting or sprinkle over the soil surface for existing plants and gardens.

Always water after application and avoid the product coming into contact with foliage and plant stems and trunks.
