Fertilizer solutions for container nurseries

For container nursery fertilization, Mivena recommends a combination of controlled release fertilizers and water-soluble fertilizers to support healthy, uniform plant growth. Horti-Cote Plus provides a stable base fertilization by releasing nutrients gradually in the root zone, while Granusol WSF and Granufert WSF allow quick correction and precise nutrient adjustment during cultivation.

For already potted plants, Horti-Cote Topdress is an effective topdress fertilizer for container nurseries, developed to maintain nutrient availability and plant performance throughout the season. Available in specific formulations, it offers growers a practical solution for targeted nutrition in container-grown crops.
