1. How can I apply Osmocote 5?
We recommend that your growing media supplier mixes Osmocote 5 into your growing media, or to dose Osmocote 5 in the growing media bunker at the nursery when potting.
2. Can I apply Osmocote 5 into the plant hole or via side-dibbling?
Plant hole application is possible, but in general we recommend to mix Osmocote 5 into the growing medium. When plant hole dibbling, make sure you always layer some substrate onto the granules in a plant hole, before placing the young plant on top. Use a longevity of 5-6M or longer. The shortest longevity, 3-4M, should not be used for plant hole application.
