  Scotts Osmocote Osmocote® – The Original Slow Release Plant Food!™
Osmocote is The Smart Plant Food™ - it works on the principle of osmosis, which is how the product gets its name. Osmocote prills absorb moisture from the soil, causing them to swell into plump capsules of liquefied plant food.
The nutrients are then slowly released through the prill’s special coating to the plant’s root zone through osmosis. This constant supply of nutrients promotes more beautiful plants. And because the nutrients are encapsulated, they will not wash away – no matter how much it rains or how often your garden is watered.
You may, at times, find the outer shell of the prill’s special coating in your soil. There’s no need to be concerned – this is normal. Once the Osmocote feeding process has taken place, the nutrients have been completely released to the plant. The outer shell will remain a bit longer and will gradually break down in your soil over time.
