In order to live, grow, develop, flourish and make fruits, plants need to be nourished. With their roots, they search and absorb nutrients in the soil. Water is essential for a good nourishment of the plants. From roots leafs, it is the water that transports the important nutrients for the plants. For assuring optimum nourishment, it is important to use the right fertilizer dose and to fertilize regularly so that the plants’ needs are met. Being well nourished makes your garden plants resistant against diseases and parasites.
Why do you feed your shrubs?
These plants are very demanding on the soil
nutrients, and quickly drain the reserves. Basacote® slow release formula provides complete nourishment from first planting to complete maturity.
Creates strong canes and Rich Blossoms.
The nitrogen (N) stimulates a balanced growth of your plants. The phosphorus (P) has an invigorating effect and makes the plants less sensitive against attacks and diseases. The potassium (K) and the magnesium (MgO) favour a rich blossom with intensive coloring.The trace elements and the iron (Fe) are essential for the strength of your roses. They enable the plants to restore an adequate reserve in order to prevent all risks of diseases or chlorossi (yellowing between the nerves of the leafs).

Basacote® Feeds for 6 months!
Basacote’s unique coating causes the controlled slow release of the nutritive elements over a period of 6 months.
Slow Release Breakdown
1) Each granule contains all the necessary elements the plants need for growth and blooms. 2) Water penetrates the granules through microscopic pores. 3) The nourishing elements become soluble and form a concentrated nourishing solution. 4) During warmer months the higher soil temperature allows for a faster release of nutrients to met the plants growth needs.
