Product Overview

Osmocote Blend 18-5-12 (5-6M) is controlled-release homogenous fertilizer that features Quickstart formulation for general purpose application on foliage, nursery plants, flower beds, and landscapes. It has 18-5-12 NPK formulation combined with essential micronutrients to provide nourishment to your plants and enhance their growth. It contains 100% resin-coated N-P-K nutrient granules, combined with uncoated prills and STEP Hi-Mag granular micronutrients. The uncoated water-soluble granules quickly release important nutrients which help establish newly planted plants and flowers, while the resin-coated nutrient cores absorb moisture and feed the plants slowly within 6 months period. It is great for quick greening applications, as well as to neutralize the nitrogen draw of green bark. The STEP Hi-Mag helps improve the balance of trace elements so it can maximize plant development. Product can be incorporated or surface-applied and it provides longevity of up to 5-6 months. Comes in 50 lb. bag.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE:

  • Verify your product analysis, longevity and rate for your plants in your production system.
  • Rate tables are printed on bag labels and can be found on product information sheets.
  • For incorporation, blend into growing media to ensure uniform distribution of fertilizer prills. Do not over-mix to avoid damaging fertilizer coating. Growing media should be used within two to four weeks after incorporating fertilizer.
  • For top-dress applications, refer to suggested rate tables on bag labels and product sheets. Uniformly spread fertilizer on container surface; avoid piling fertilizer dose directly against plant stem.
  • Irrigate after application. Irrigation frequency and volume should be adjusted during the crop production cycle according to crop type, environmental conditions and desired soluble salt levels.
  • A product trial is recommended before adopting a new fertilizer program or making full-scale changes to standard cultural practices. Test several rates on representative plant types.
  • Use caution when applying to plants being over-wintered under cover. If you cannot monitor soluble salts and/or adjust irrigation practices, avoid Fall and Winter application.

    Good product

    By Bill on 09/24/2021

    Good slow release fertilizer, like most it's not cheap but the best type fertilizer for potted plants or newly propagated cuttings.
