Osmocote Plus 15-9-12 5-6mo Fertilizer | 50lb

Complete Feeding Solution for Baskets and Containers, 5-6 Month

A hanging basket or high-demand container planted at retail can outgrow a one-time feeding long before the season is over, leaving the customer with a plant that stalls. Osmocote Plus 15-9-12 is a complete fertilizer solution that continues to feed the plant after the sale, so customer success doesn't depend on them remembering to fertilize.

Sold as a 50lb bag, 5-6 month release.

Frequently Asked Questions

How and when should this fertilizer be applied?

Incorporate it into the growing media at planting for hanging baskets, potted plants, or container and landscape production. Because it's a complete fertilizer solution, it continues feeding through the 5-6 month release window without needing a follow-up application.

Why does continued feeding after the sale matter?

It's a complete fertilizer solution that continues to feed the plants after the sale, which improves the outcome for customers who may not fertilize consistently on their own. That post-sale feeding is a core reason growers choose it for baskets and high-visibility containers.

Can this be combined with a water-soluble feeding program?

Yes, adding a controlled release fertilizer like this one to baskets with high nutrient demands allows growers to fertilize all their other plants with a standard water-soluble program instead of adjusting the whole crop. That flexibility is useful when only certain crops need the extra feeding capacity.

What settings is this formulation suited for?

The label covers greenhouse, nursery, and foliage production, container gardens, interiorscapes, and landscapes. Hanging baskets and potted plants grown in the greenhouse are specifically called out as strong fits.

What size is this listing?

This listing is a 50lb bag with a 5-6 month resin-coated release. That combination is sized for commercial greenhouse and nursery basket and container production runs.
