How does Osmocote differ from other slow-release plant foods?
Compared to most other slow-release plant foods, Osmocote contains 2-3 times as much slow-release nitrogen per pound of product. Since nitrogen is an important element for plant growth, this makes Osmocote more effective and significantly increases its value to the consumer. Osmocote granules are nearly perfect spheres. This ensures that nutrient release works the same way with each granule. Osmocote granules are also uniform in size, contributing to the consistency of the nutrient release. Osmocote has a resin coating, a characteristic of that’s somewhat elastic. This reduces the risk of granules cracking, then initiating the release of nutrients during the packaging process and while the product is transiting to the retail store.
