Osmocote Bloom provides optimum plant quality through maximum nutrition during the entire crop cycle, plus the selling and early consumer stages. Osmocote Bloom provides plants with all food they need every step of the way from potting to the first consumer phase. Its 100% coated NPK analysis and traces are ideal for bedding plants with a two-to-three-month crop cycle. It’s especially effective for condensed growth in many annuals including petunias and geraniums. 

Osmocote Exact High K is a 4th generation controlled release fertiliser and has been designed to support compact plant growth where the irrigation water has high nitrogen levels. It’s the ideal solution for CNS crops and compact pot plants, perennials, and bedding plants. It also provides great results with species that need high potassium nutrition, including cyclamen, viola, and primula results in compact plants.  

Osmocote Exact Mini is perfect for use in small-substrate volumes such as plugs and trays. The fine granules (of between 0.85 and 2.0 mm) are smaller than Osmocote Exact Standard. This provides optimum nutrient distribution and uniform growth, in volumes as low as 20ml. The granules may be small – but each one is packed with every nutrient plants need.    Osmocote Exact Mini can be used to combine the rooting and repotting stages, rather than adding extra fertiliser via sprinklers.

Fourth-generation fertiliser Osmocote Exact Protect’s 100% double-coated granules postpone nutrient release during the winter months. That means EC or salt levels in the growing medium stay consistently low for up to the first three months. Longevity is between five and 14 months, while granule size is 2.0-4.5 mm. 

The first third-generation fertiliser, Osmocote Exact Standard, releases nutrition consistently throughout the growing season, in line with the plants’ requirements. This regular, continuous release makes it ideal for almost all growing situations. It’s especially well-suited to evergreens and deciduous shrubs, that can only be applied in one release pattern. It can also be used where plants’ nutrient demands are consistent throughout the growing cycle. 

Osmocote Exact Tablets offer convenience and very accurate rates of nutrients. Due to their cone-like shape, the tablets can be easily pushed into the growing media. As with Osmocote Exact, the longevity is instantly recognised by the colour of the granules in the tablets. Tablets are available in 5 gram and 7.5 gram formats.

The Osmocote PrePlant range prepares ornamental crops for two growing seasons ahead of time with one single application.

Osmocote Pro provides consistently strong results. It comes in 4 longevities: 3- 4, 5-6, 8-9 and 12-14 months. It’s also distinctive thanks to its steady nutrient release pattern for optimum growth and performance. 

Osmocote Start delivers nutrition to your crops with a short cultivation cycle, or provides refertilisation for up to six weeks. It’s designed especially for compact-growing annual plants with a short cropping cycle. These include violets, marigolds and primulas, along with more salt-sensitive vegetable crops, and cuttings that have difficulty rooting. 

Osmocote Topdress is a coated fertiliser designed especially for topdress application in container nursery stock. It can be used to achieve an immediate greening effect. It contains a high nitrogen, magnesium and iron content, to get an immediate greening effect. Containing fast- and slow- release nitrogen and phosphorous, it releases the correct amount of nutrients over a period of 4-5 months. The plants will be greener and stronger for optimum performance.
