Daltons Premium Planter Tabs

Daltons Premium Planter Tabs

Premium Planter Tabs offer a simple, no-fuss way to feed plants - with no measuring and no mess. Just pop the tabs into the soil and water them in, making feeding easy and consistent for pots and planters.

Once in the soil, natural soil bacteria gradually release nutrients from the tablets in a form plant roots can absorb. This happens more quickly in warmer conditions and more slowly when it’s cooler, matching how plants’ nutrient needs change through the seasons.

Uses
  • Slow release fertilising for trees, shrubs, and other planter environments.
  • Suited for both ground cover and containers.
Product Features
  • NPK: N20-P4.3-K4.1+Fe
  • Safe, easy to handle and convenient.
  • Improved uptake of nutrients due to reduced leaching.
  • Feeds for up to 12 months.
