Key Benefits

Benefit Why It Matters
Balanced Feeding The equal 14-14-14 N-P-K ratio provides a dependable foundation for general plant nutrition.
Long-Lasting Performance Feeds for up to 3–4 months under typical 70°F growing media conditions, reducing repeat applications.
Consistent Nutrient Release Coated granules gradually release nutrients as moisture enters the prill, helping maintain a steady supply in the root zone.
Professional Versatility Suitable for commercial greenhouse crops, nursery stock, foliage production, containers, interiorscapes, and outdoor landscapes.
Labor-Saving Fertility Helps reduce the time spent mixing, measuring, and applying frequent liquid feeds.
Flexible Application Can be blended into growing media before planting or applied as a top-dress for established containers.

Nutrient Profile

Nutrient Guaranteed Analysis
Total Nitrogen 14%
Available Phosphate 14%
Soluble Potash 14%
Elemental Phosphorus 6.1%
Elemental Potassium 11.6%

The 14-14-14 analysis makes this fertilizer a practical choice when plants need even, all-purpose macronutrient support rather than a high-nitrogen or high-potassium specialty formula.

Release Longevity by Average Media Temperature

Average Media Temperature Expected Longevity
60°F / 15°C 4–5 months
70°F / 21°C 3–4 months
80°F / 26°C 2–3 months
90°F / 32°C 1–2 months

Release speed increases as growing media temperatures rise, so fertilizer longevity may be shorter in warm greenhouse conditions or during hot outdoor production cycles.

Best Uses

Growing Situation Recommended Use
Greenhouse Production Use as a dependable base feed for crops that benefit from steady nutrition.
Nursery Containers Incorporate into media or apply as a surface dressing for controlled feeding.
Foliage Crops Supports consistent leaf growth and color in interior and greenhouse foliage programs.
Hanging Baskets & Perennials Can be top-dressed for extended feeding after establishment.
Container Gardens Helps maintain nutrition in pots, planters, patio containers, and mixed plantings.
Interiorscapes Provides long-term feeding for indoor ornamental plants with reduced maintenance.
Landscapes Suitable for ornamental beds and planted areas where slow, steady feeding is preferred.

How Osmocote 14-14-14 Works

Each granule is coated to control how nutrients move into the growing media. Moisture passes through the coating, dissolves the nutrient core, and gradually releases fertilizer into the root zone. This controlled-release process helps provide plants with a more even nutrient supply compared with fast-release fertilizers that can wash through the media quickly.

Application Guidance

Application Type General Direction
Media Incorporation Blend evenly into the growing media before planting for uniform nutrient distribution.
Top-Dress Application Spread evenly over the container surface and avoid piling granules directly against plant stems.
After Application Irrigate after applying to begin the release process and help move nutrients into the root zone.
Micronutrient Support Pair with Micromax or another suitable micronutrient program when crops require complete trace-element feeding.
Storage Keep product in a clean, cool, dry location until use.

Always match the application rate to crop type, container size, growing media, irrigation practices, and environmental conditions. For new crops or production changes, trial the product on a small batch before full-scale use.

Summary

Osmocote 14-14-14 Slow-Release Fertilizer delivers reliable, balanced plant nutrition in an easy-to-manage controlled-release formula. Designed for commercial growers, greenhouse operators, nursery professionals, landscapers, and advanced gardeners, this fertilizer provides equal levels of nitrogen, phosphate, and potash to support steady growth across a wide variety of ornamental and container-grown plants.

Its resin-coated granules release nutrients gradually over time, helping plants receive a consistent supply of essential macronutrients while reducing the need for frequent feeding.

As Close As You Will Get To Objectivity
Format: Paperback
If you have read "No Man Knows My History," you have to read "Rough Stone Rolling." The former biography was written by Fawn Brodie, a scholar who grew up LDS but left the church disenchanted and not believing that Joseph Smith was what he claimed to be--a prophet. The latter written by Bushman, a practicing LDS scholar who believes that Joseph Smith was a prophet. In the preface of "Rough Stone Rolling," Bushman makes the legitimate point that there will never be consensus on Joseph Smith's character or achievements. Furthermore, he confesses that as a believing historian, pure objectivity is impossible. Nonetheless, I think he comes closer to pure objectivity in this history than any other I have read on Joseph Smith. This has to be one of the best biographies I have ever read. The book is well written, loaded with historical fact, and any assumptions that are made are within detailed, historical contexts. Unlike Brodie's biography, it is very difficult to ascertain Bushman's own opinion. If he had not confessed his belief in the preface, you would wonder. Nowhere does Bushman try to convince you that Smith was a prophet and he is not afraid to explore Joseph Smith's weaknesses and shortcomings as a man. I am a believer so I admit that I may just relate to Bushman better than Brodie. Still, I know many practicing Mormons that would not like this book simply because they have to have Joseph Smith on a pedestal, untouchable, and locked in a glass case. I also know many faithful non-Mormons who believe that a prophet is certainly not a god but is definitely something more than human. Such readers will probably not care for this book either. I believe Joseph Smith was a prophet but I also know he was a man with weaknesses, like every other prophet that came before him. In Bushman's own words, "flawless characters are neither attractive or useful." This is a history of a man; it is not scripture. After boldly claiming heavenly visions, Joseph Smith penned a few great books of scripture that are well worth reading if you really want to explore the faith. Fawn Brodie takes the title for her biography from Joseph Smith's own admission in 1844 that "No Man Knows My History" and paints, in her opinion, the delusion and deceit behind Smith's confession. Bushman takes the title for his biography from Joseph Smith's own admission in 1843 that he is a "Rough Stone Rolling" and gives you the most real, honest, and fair assessment of his life that I have ever read. He gives you the man Joseph Smith, with his strengths and weaknesses, and leaves the opinions to the reader.

Comprehensive, but not convincing to this non-believer
Format: Paperback
Having previously read Fawn Brodie's , I read this one to get the believer's view. Bushman is at his best describing the evolution of Smith's thinking and revelations. Although the book is long, it is well written and authoritative. It gives a deeper understanding of Smith's religious philosophy than does Brodie's book. To his credit, Bushman confronts many of the crucial controversies surrounding Smith. From my non-believer's perspective, however, the defenses of Smith are not remotely convincing. Some examples: 1. DNA analysis shows without question that the American Indians came from east Asia. This fact is in direct contradiction of the traditional LDS view that Native Americans are lost Israelites. Bushman argues that Smith may have been writing about a small tribe somewhere in New York, or about people outside North America altogether. Within a few pages, Bushman has forgotten about this controversy altogether, and happily describes the Book of Mormon as a history of the American Indians. 2. Smith made the huge mistake of reproducing parts of the hieroglyphics he claims to have interpreted as the "Book of Abraham." These documents have been translated by scholars and have nothing to do with Abraham. Bushman (pp. 291-2) puts forth the argument that Smith's translation may not have been a true translation, but instead may have been a divine revelation simply inspired by the presence of the scrolls. Bushman suggests the same for the Book of Mormon. This is a truly shocking stance for an LDS believer to take: if Smith's "translations" weren't translations, why should anyone believe that his revelations were divinely inspired? Ironically, Bushman's view here sounds much like Brodie's: Not anticipating that scholars would use the Rosetta stone to translate hieroglyphics, Smith imagined that bogus translations would not be found out. 3. Smith repeatedly lied about whether he and the Saints were practicing polygamy. Bushman's defense of Smith in this context reminds me of Bill Clinton's statements regarding Monica Lewinsky: Smith held a secret definition of the term "polygamy," and thus felt free to mislead (or lie) with impunity. The facts, as reported by both Brodie and Bushman, support the conclusion that Smith coerced women into his bed by arguing that their eternal salvation was at stake. The stain of Smith's lustful "revelation" regarding polygamy continues to haunt the LDS, which claims to recoil from earthly polygamy but argues that men (not women) get to have harems in heaven. Despite these complaints, I recommend this book to non-believers who are patient enough to get through it. I feel that I have much greater insight into the LDS mindset than I did before.

The definitive paperback edition
Format: Paperback
I purchased the Oxford World's Classics edition of "Le Morte d'Arthur: The Winchester Manuscript" for a school reading assignment, and I can say with confidence that this is the version you want. The original Old English is present (it was virtually a new language), complete with very useful footnotes to assist with antiquated words and phrases. The story was intriguing, colorful, and poignant (it's a downer, but a well-written one), filled with memorable characters such as Sir Gareth and Sir Launcelot. If you have a taste for classic literature and are looking for a challenge, definitely give "Le Morte d'Arthur" a read, especially with this version.

I got this book for class, so I've only read large segements of it. This copy is an excellent modernization of Malory's text with helpful footnotes and endnotes. The footnotes were always available to explain unfamiliar words without interrupting the flow of the story.
