Osmocote Blend 17-5-11 3-4 mo. Fertilizer | 50lb (40/PL)

Single-Source Container Nutrition for Quick-Turn Crops, 3-4 Month

Fast-turning greenhouse and bedding crops don't leave much window for a fertilizer to establish itself, so a single application needs to carry the whole nutrient load without extra topdressing or liquid feeding. Osmocote Blend 17-5-11 is widely used as a single source of nutrients in both greenhouses and nursery container grown plants, generally blended directly into the growing media.

Sold as a 50lb bag, 40 per pallet, 3-4 month release, no urea.

Who Should Use Osmocote Blend 17-5-11 (3-4mo.)

This fits greenhouse and nursery growers running a 3-4 month production cycle who want a single, economical nutrient source blended into media rather than a multi-step liquid feeding program.

Frequently Asked Questions

How and when should this fertilizer be incorporated?

Blend it directly into the growing media before potting, though it can also be topdressed, subdressed, or dibbled if media is already in place. Water the pot thoroughly before or directly after planting so the Micromax granules release their minor nutrients into the media.

Why does watering-in matter so much for this product?

Thorough watering at or after planting is what releases the minor nutrients from the Micromax granules and disperses them into the media. Skipping that step delays the balanced nutrient availability the 17-5-11 formulation is built around.

What makes this a single-source nutrition option?

It's widely used as a single source of nutrients in both greenhouses and nursery container grown plants, meaning growers don't need to layer a separate liquid feed on top of it. Its balanced offering of nutrients is positioned as a more economical option within the Osmocote Blend line.

What release window does the 3-4 month version suit?

Its 3-4 month resin-coated release, with no urea in the formula, is matched to shorter, quick-turning greenhouse and nursery production cycles like bedding crops. That duration is what distinguishes this SKU from the other versions in the 17-5-11 family.

What size and packaging is this listing?

It ships as a 50lb bag, 40 per pallet, sized for quick-turn greenhouse and nursery container production. That volume suits commercial-scale operations running this length of crop turn.
