Osmocote for rooting/growing in water
I am rooting and growing houseplants ( philodendron) in water. Can I use Osmocote Plus for fertilizer in the water? If so – how much? Thank you!

No, Osmocote is not designed to be used in water as it releases nutrients based on temperature not moisture. You will need to contact a resource on hydroponic gardening to get more information on water soluble plant foods. Keep growing, Marianne Binetti
