Greenhouse

In the controlled environment of a greenhouse performance of your controlled release fertiliser is closely regulated and therefore a more precise selection can be made to minimise wastage and optimise plant performance. Without the cleansing action of rain the close monitoring of the water quality and potting soil nutrition interaction needs to be carried out.

Flowering pot production annuals

For fast turnover annual crops, a fast start to seedling growth is required followed by sustained nutrition for sale and shelf life – Osmocote® Exact® 3-4 month or Osmocote Plus ‘Potted Colour’ are ideal in this situation.

Perennials

With the wide range of natural habitats of perennial crops including the Mediterranean and South East China the addition of Magrimax® (slow release Mg) is desirable. Couple Magrimax with incorporated gypsum for calcium and a medium term Osmocote Exact such as 5 - 6 month standard.

Florist crops

Many florist crops have specialist nutrient needs and with the combination of Osmocote Exact and a selection of Peters products (particularly Peters® Excel CalMag) allows the astute grower to meet the crops needs.

Plant hire

The process of acclimatising a hire plant from production to a successful indoor hire can be achieved by a combination of incorporated long term Osmocote Exact 12-14 month with the use of additional Peters water solubles to encourage recovery growth and then withheld for hardening off.
