Directions for use
For application in existing cultures, tablets should be pushed completely into the growing media. In hanging baskets place the tablets in the growing media in a circle around the plants. When drip irrigation is used, push the tablet in the growing media right under the dripper. After application and watering, the water soluble adhesive dissolves and the tablets fall apart.

Important to note
Osmocote Exact Tablets are built with an environmentally friendly adhesive which is water soluble. After watering the plants the tablets fall apart and are locked within the growing medium. This system prevents the roots from pushing the tablet out of the pot. Osmocote Exact Tablets are often applied into container plants and hanging baskets right before delivery in order to ensure there is proper nutrition for the consumer.
