Osmocote

From BonsaiWIKI

Osmocote is a time-release fertilizer manufactured by the Osmocote company. The inorganic fertilizer is formed into pellets and coated with a resin that breaks down with time, temperature and moisture.

The goal is to have a little fertilizer released continuously throughout the growing season. Some artists use Osmocote in the soil. Some have commented that the fertilizer breaks down too quickly in hot, humid summers when there is a lot of rainfall.

A special formulation is available for acid-loving plants
