How Osmocote Plus Organics Roses, Gardenias & Azlaeas 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.

As a result, plants are healthier and less susceptible to insect attacks and disease.

  • added organic matter
