How Pots, Planters & Indoors 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 a professional grade wetting agent enhances water absorption into the soil and helps plants take up more nutrients.

How to use

Using the rate recommended on the container, sprinkle the Pots, Planters & Indoors on the surface of the potting mix. It can also be added to potting mix at planting time.
