Wilt Pruf Information and application instructions

Wilt-Pruf is an anti-transpirant product designed to protect plants from moisture loss through their foliage. Wilt-Pruf works by forming a clear, protective coating on foliage that helps plants to retain moisture. The coating is flexible and does not interfere with plant growth. Furthermore, Wilt-Pruf is organic and non-toxic, making it safe and favorable to use in many applications.

For example:

• Spray Rhododendrons and other broadleaf evergreens in the late fall to protect these plants from moisture loss through their leaves during the winter. Be sure to spray only when temperatures are above freezing.
• Apply in the late fall to newly planted needled evergreens, like spruce and arborvitae, to protect against moisture loss during the first winter. Again, be sure to spray only when temperatures are above freezing.
• Use when transplanting trees and shrubs to protect against moisture loss while the plant reestablishes its root system.
• In windy areas, apply once per season to protect plants from excessive moisture loss and windburn.
• Apply to the newly emerged foliage of roses and other disease prone perennials (for example, garden phlox) to protect the foliage from infection by disease-causing spores.
• Use during periods of drought to help plants retain as much moisture as possible.
• Spray your Christmas tree and other greenery before bringing them inside to prolong their freshness.
