Controlled-release fertiliser for topdressing
Osmocote TopDress FT (4–5M) 1 kg
Is the plant already established in its pot, with no need to repot simply to add fertiliser? Osmocote TopDress FT is applied to the surface of the growing medium and provides controlled nutrition for 4–5 months. Its Fusion Technology is moisture-activated and helps the granules stay in the application area. This makes it easy to renew base nutrition for ornamentals, shrubs and trees in containers with a measured dose, without disturbing the roots or carrying out another repotting.

Calculate the dose from container volume
Spread evenly over the surface and water to activate Fusion Technology.
- 2–4 g/L
- Topdress only
- Under the dripper
- Not for capillary mat or ebb-and-flow
2–4 g/L of pot volume, according to the plant's nutrient demand.
At the mid-rate of 3 g/L, use a total of 9 g.
Use the selected rate for the first 10 L, then add 1 g for every additional litre.
At 3 g/L: 30 g for the first 10 L + 40 g for the remainder = 70 g.
Topdress means surface application only
Do not mix it into the growing medium or apply it as a concentrated dose in the planting hole. With drip irrigation, place it under the drippers. It is not suitable for capillary-mat or ebb-and-flow systems. Start at the lower rate for sensitive plants.
