It doesn't have Ca.
Well they don't list Ca but it does contain calcium phosphate, which I assume means that it does provide calcium. Could be wrong though.It doesn't have Ca.
Same labeling and name as yours but mine came in a bag. On the bag, it lists Calcium Phosphate but no specific Calcium content under analysis. Kind of weird because you'd think they'd put it on there. Pretty sure Calcium Phosphate should be providing calcium as well as phosphorus.My bottle does not contain calcium phosphate. It's the Outdoor & Indoor one with the "No-Burn Pledge". Which one is yours?
Some sellers still sell the discontinued formula with calcium. I bought the 2lb bottle and it didn't have calcium. Was yours the 8lb bag for $20?Same labeling and name as yours but mine came in a bag. On the bag, it lists Calcium Phosphate but no specific Calcium content under analysis. Kind of weird because you'd think they'd put it on there. Pretty sure Calcium Phosphate should be providing calcium as well as phosphorus.
I remember before it was discontinued, it came in a bottle, but I don't remember if it listed calcium phosphate.
Same quality and chemicals for the most part? Or did they mess it up and rely on the name..Yeah Osmocote Plus has been back for a while now, Scott's sold the Osmocote Plus brand to a company in Israel who brought the newly named "outdoor & indoor" to the U.S. market. As stated, the new Osmocote Plus Ouutdoor & Indoor does not contain calcium, and they used P2O5 as the source for phosphates.
Yeah every thing is essentially the same; Same materials, fertilizer compounds, and same ingredients in the time release gel-coat; It's just another company now owns the rights to the Osmocote Plus brand is all...Same quality and chemicals for the most part? Or did they mess it up and rely on the name..
Wait, why does it say Calcium Phosphate then, if there's no calcium? Seems like some people are saying its exactly the same but others are saying there's no calciumBut they didn't include calcium...
You might have bought the discontinued supply, which Amazon actually sells. I just checked and the discontinued 1.25lb is being sold alongside the new O+ without Ca.Wait, why does it say Calcium Phosphate then, if there's no calcium? Seems like some people are saying its exactly the same but others are saying there's no calcium
What you picked up is an old Osmocote Plus made by the original Scott's company, Scott's would use calcium phosphate as a source for phosphates. This is why you are seeing it, the new Osmocote Plus made by the new company has 0 calcium in it.Wait, why does it say Calcium Phosphate then, if there's no calcium? Seems like some people are saying its exactly the same but others are saying there's no calcium
So far the differences pointed out are no Ca and P2O5 as the source for phosphates. How about the source of N? I saw the new product at the store and I had to do a double take since its was pink and not orange like the original one (which I always keep an eye on), attached is a pic that shows what's on the new stuff. Can anyone compare it with what's on the old stuff?Yeah Osmocote Plus has been back for a while now, Scott's sold the Osmocote Plus brand to a company in Israel who brought the newly named "outdoor & indoor" to the U.S. market.

Yeah Osmocote Plus is used for root tabs, or ice tabs; Either way Osmocote Plus is awesome for heavy root feeding plants like swords, crypts, etc....
