Scott Osmocote Citrus and Fruit Fertiliser is a no-fuss, set and forget controlled release plant food for those who don't have the time or inclination to tend every plant or garden bed individually.
With boosted magnesium, Scotts Osmocote® Controlled Release Fertilizer: Citrus & Fruit will promote healthy growth and generous fruiting for your citrus and fruit plants. The smart way to fertilize - one application feeds continuously for up to 6 months.
FEATURES
Boosted magnesium keeps leaves green for longer, especially on citrus. The release of nutrients depends on temperature - more when it's warm and plants are growing and less when it's cold and growth is slow.
Scotts Osmocote® uses advanced prill technology that ensures even and controlled nutrient release with no wastage.
Controlled release means feeding less often and more effectively; less frequent feeding is more economical and environment-friendly Wetting agent enhances water absorption into the soil or potting mix and helps plants take up nutrientsLess than 2% phosphorus (the 'P' in NPK) means it can be safely used on most Australian native fruit trees such as Davidson's Plum, Finger Limes and Quandongs.
