Can I mix Osmocote with water?
Hi!
I recently bought the Osmocote suitable for both indoor/outdoor use. Most of the plants I will be using this with have already been transplanted in bigger pots, or are establishing outdoors. I was wondering if Osmocote is water soluble and can dissolve to be an effective water fertilizer?
Thank you!

No, Osmocote cannot be mixed with water, but it doesn't need to be. Just sprinkle the granules on top of the soil and they will slowly release the nutrients every time you water - even if you don't see the round granules dissolve. Just follow the instructions on the package and you will be pleased with the results.
Keep growing,
