Florikan with Nutricote Total 18-6-8 360 Day

Florikan with Nutricote Total 18-6-8 360 Day, manufactured by Florikan, is a balanced, dependable slow-release granular fertilizer that provides essential nutrition to liners, ornamentals, palms, and other foliage for up to 350 days (1 year). 

What makes polymer-coated controlled-release fertilizer special is its Nutricote coating technology. Each granule is encapsulated with a patented resin coating that controls the nutrient release rate. This means nutrients are released based on temperature and moisture conditions, ensuring plants receive the right nutrients at the right time.

Since this fertilizer contains no urea/NH4 conversion, the risk of fertilizer burn is significantly reduced. That means you can apply confidently, even to sensitive crops.
