How Osmocote Plus Organics Plant Starter works

  • Seaweed, fish and organic biostimulants that organically enrich the soil.
  • New technology water storage crystals that absorb more than 100 times their own weight in water and release it as the plant needs it.
  • An excellent wetting agent enhances water absorption into the soil and helps plants take up more nutrients.
