Scotts Osmocote® Plus Trace Elements: Water Gardens & Aquatic Plants

How it works

• In Water Gardens & Aquatic Plants, prills are compressed into tabs that are enclosed in a non-soluble casing to prevent water contamination
• The release of fertiliser is controlled by temperature (not by moisture)
• When the weather is warm in Spring, Summer and early Autumn, plants need more food and the fertiliser is released quicker
• In Winter, when temperatures are lower, plants need less food because their growth rate is reduced, so fewer nutrients are released from the tabs

How to use

• Apply in early Spring, when temperatures are rising and plants are putting on new growth, and repeat in early Autumn
• Work your way around the inside diameter of every potted aquatic plant or water feature inserting tabs evenly into potting mix or pond soil, making sure they are firmly in place
• Push aquatic fertiliser tabs approximately half the depth of the root ball
• Use the rates in the table below as a guide for how many tabs to use
