Suggestive amounts of osmocote
I have 5 gal /15 gal /20 gal / 24” box tree containers- how much Osmocote do you suggest I use for each container as a top dressing

I use one tablespoon for each gallon of potting soil so 5 tablespoons for a 5 gallon pot and go up from there. Be sure to mix the granules into the top one to three inches of soil and water regularly. The package of Osmocote should also contain instructions on the amount to use. Keep growing, Marianne Binetti
