Osmocote 19-6-12 Slow Release 3-4 Months Fertilizer (50 Lb Bag)

The nutrients are encapsulated within multiple layers of polymeric resin, allowing for a controlled release of the essential elements. The water-soluble nutrients are composed of a 19-6-12 formula, providing a 3-4 month release period that is perfect for short-term foliage plants.

Scott's offers a complete line of controlled fertilizers that are designed to meet the specific needs of various plant types and growth stages. The encapsulation process creates a protective shell around the nutrient core, allowing water vapor to gradually penetrate and dissolve the nutrients into the surrounding soil or growing media.

For incorporating the fertilizer into the soil, the recommended application rate is 2 to 9 pounds per cubic yard. For container-grown plants, the recommended rates are as follows:

• 1 gallon containers: 3 to 14 grams
• 2 gallon containers: 6 to 29 grams
• 3 gallon containers: 11 to [specific amount] grams
• 5 gallon containers: 18 to 82 grams
• 7 gallon containers: 26 to 117 grams

For topdressing applications, the recommended rate is 1 to 2 pounds per 100 square feet.

The controlled-release nature of the fertilizer ensures that the nutrients are available to the plants over an extended period, reducing the need for frequent applications and promoting optimal growth and development.

In summary, Scott's offers a line of controlled-release fertilizers that are composed of water-soluble nutrients encapsulated within multiple layers of polymeric resin. These fertilizers are designed to provide a 3-4 month release period, making them well-suited for short-term foliage plants. The specific application rates vary depending on the container size and whether the fertilizer is being incorporated into the soil or used for topdressing.
