Schultz Nursery Plus Slow-Release Plant Food bases the release rate of the specially coated slow-release nitrogen granules on soil temperature, not moisture level. Therefore, an increase in soil temperature causes the slow-release nitrogen granules to respond. They provide predictable and continuous feeding for up to three months, which is longer than ordinary evergreen, tree and shrub food without slow-release nitrogen can deliver.
