My goal is to repot every 2-3 years, which will be dictated by growth rate.
Be careful - stating to use "Nutricote" is almost as non-specific as saying to use fertilizer, with no other guidance.

I'm afraid George was teaching more than he knew...
Check out THIS CHART at the manufacturer's website. The right-hand column is probably the most relevant.

Osmocote also makes a variety of formulas, many of which have shorter- or longer life spans.
