Osmocote Smart-Release Plant Food for Flowers & Vegetables - 1 lb. | Slow-Release Fertilizer for Indoor & Outdoor Gardening, Potted Plants & Raised Beds

Bought a lovely blooming geranium at Walmart. It bloomed for several months and then nothing. Since I was leaving Texas to spend the summer in SW Colorado with still nighttime freezing temperatures when I arrived in Colorado, I would put the plant in the sun during the day and bring it in a night. After a month, it did not appear that it would bloom again so I began to look for a fertilizer. I decided to try this (plus trying not to overwater). Oh, my goodness, it has put out blooms, more blooms, and still sending up new bloom stalks several months later! It has been a feast for the eyes. I highly recommend this product.I have been using Osmocote for years. I was first put onto it when it was recommended by my local orchid society. (Though they said to go lightly as it can burn seedlings). Since I had it around for my orchids I have been using it on vegetables in raised beds and (large) planters. I tried another fertilizer last year (miracle grow organic) and can not say I saw a real difference, and the Osmocote is much easier to use, to get the correct amount. This year I tried a third and have used each in a different bed, and... well the Osmocote still seems to work as well as either of the others, feeds for longer and so is a real time saver. {It makes a differnce when your garden is an acre and you are maintaining it alone ;)I used this product for outdoor potted tomato plants in Dittmer, Missouri. I've never had greener, more healthy looking plants. Great producers, too. I would highly recommend this product.Best fertilizer I’ve ever used. My hibiscus has never been healthier. They are blooming like never before. Highly recommend.This product is my go to next to composting banana peels and organic egg shells for the garden.Bought a large bag to save long term since I do a lot of pollinators in various gardens, strawberry patch, grape vines, etc. Even used some on the grass. Wow factor.I have a small 10 by 10 patch of grass and everything else is polinator flowers, food, and stone work.The grass I laid as sod struggled on year due to neighbor dogs. Fenced it so now every spring the only issue is adding grass seed in spots that are bare.This year I’ve let the grass grow a little longer to become robust and ward off this heat wave we’re having. Worth the light sprinkle of this product the grass filled out and looks the best it ever has in four years since I dug up the mess and laid sod.When I repot use this in the bottom by the roots. Everything always grows robustly as a result.Very happy with this product. The large bag is perfect and at a savings. Plus sub and save adds a little savings, too⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️?one of the best things about this type of fertilizer especially for those who have trouble with plants? is that it is hard to 'burn' your plants by over doing it. simple to use, to apply and get good results in the end.Works well on my plantsNot messy- easy to use and seems to work as far as I can tell.These are amazing for planted aquariums. I bought a 1,000 gelatin capsules and opened them up and put some Osmocote Plus inside of them and stuck them into the substrate. In just a few days I noticed an exponential growth in my plants.This provides the exact nutrients plants need to thrive on and I would HIGHLY recommend this since this is one of the only few products that are aquarium and fish safe.Will definitely be buying more but this amount will probably last you a life time. I give away most of my capsules or sell them off.I have been using this for my aquarium DIY root tabs and my plants are doing OK. Importantly it hasn’t killed any of my fish or shrimp. My water quality remains OK. So many factors to consider but I’m still using it. In fact this bottle will last me a long long time.I am not sure how it works and dobt about quality of products as i received this product with no packing....so can not trust its quality.I use this fertilizer to supplement my aquarium plants. I either sprinkle some in at the bottom of the tank or use gel capsules. I also use this for my terrestrial plants and it works fine. Safe for fish and shrimp!!Product is fine, haven't noticed any changes/differences in my plants so far, it's been 3 weeks.Just disappointed to find an invoice from FEDEX for charge equivalent of 80.2% of the original product price.This should have been declared upon purchase and not after, I was not expecting more charges when I click on Purchase at the published market rate.
