Slow-release fertilizer is a type of plant food that gradually releases nutrients over an extended period, providing a steady and consistent supply to plants. This type of fertilizer is ideal for those who want low-maintenance plant care, as it reduces the need for frequent fertilizing. Encased in a specialized coating or designed in granule form, the nutrients are slowly made available to plants through water absorption or temperature changes. Slow-release fertilizers are particularly beneficial for container plants, gardens, and landscapes, ensuring that nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium are supplied in a balanced manner over several months. This helps promote steady growth, healthy root development, and vibrant foliage without the risk of overfeeding or nutrient burn. Perfect for a wide range of plants, including succulents, houseplants, vegetables, and ornamental plants, slow-release fertilizers offer convenience and promote long-term plant health.
