Wilt-Pruf® Organic Plant Protector Spray | Prevents Mositure Loss and Winter Burn | No Burlap or Wrapping Required (32 oz)

Used on my boxwoods. Worked great to get them through the harsh winter.

Excellent

This does work nicely, and I like that it's largely tree sap itself - natural and doesn't smell like chemicals. It leave the items sprayed with a kind of shiny shellacked sense. It's still best to soak any indoor greens (holidays, other) in water overnight before spraying. Without this my indoor holiday pine greens get dry and start breaking off within a week; with this they held out for about 2.5 weeks. They still got dry, but they LOOKED fresh and a nice green color (especially the cedar, but it's pretty good with it's color anyway). But if it was touched it was still brittle. I didn't try to re-soak the greens after spraying this on, but that might also be an option depending on what the greens are for and how long they are needed.I sprayed outside once and in my tub the second time, and spraying outside was definitely better as the spray left a film of somewhat tacky goo on my tub. It came off with soap and water but was extra effort.The spray bottle also stopped working during the 3rd spraying (I found that spaying it twice didn't quite hold up as nicely, though the 3rd spray did make things noticeably shinier) and I couldn't figure out why. I didn't see a clog in the nozzle or tube and was able to get water to go through the sprayer several times. I finally transferred it to another spray bottle I have, but it didn't have all the nice spray types on the nozzle as the original bottle. Also, I tried to clean that bottle but I'm not sure that even soap and water was able to sufficiently clean it out, so I probably won't use it for anything else after this.Overall a good product that I will buy again for indoor greenery decoration. Haven't tried it myself for outdoor potted plants needing extra dryness protection.

Each year I construct fresh cut magnolia wreaths for my most special gift recipients. Hate to see my crafts dry out too soon. I keep my greens in a bucket of water and apply this right away. I can get to constructing the wreaths in less of a hurry knowing they’ll last longer with this preservative.

I spray this on each fall just when I'm getting my evergreens ready for winter. Spraying a variety of plants, evergreens, azaleas, boxwoods, and others that need winter protection not only from cold but from sunburn. I cover my boxwoods with burlap and they always look green after a winter of cold and snow. I am sure that Wilt-Pruf helps them through the dry, difficult months. This is a product that I always have in my garden shed.

My husband has used Wilt-Pruf before and has liked the results. He wanted to use it before the weather turned cold but the order was delayed twice. When we tried to cancel, it was not an option which was disappointing. He ultimately went to an out of the way nursery to buy Wilt-Pruf so he could get it on the plants. Please know that the squeeze handle is tight so it takes a lot of effort and energy to get the product out of the bottle. You may want to consider using the concentrate for easier use.

I've used this before but glad to find it in an easy to use, already mixed spray bottle. Sometimes I buy the concentrate and mix it myself. I've bought garden store brands before but they aren't as good as Wilt-Pruf in my opinion. I use this for cut winter greens, wreathes, etc that you either keep outside for decoration or inside as well. I've found I can get an extra 2-3 weeks out of the greens before they start to get dried out and lose their needles. I apply it outside, then when dry, will use the greens for decorating. I also use it on my boxwood just to give them a little extra protection for winter. I know it is almost as important to make sure you water your boxwood well in the fall leading up to winter to ensure the plant has good moisture in the roots. Applying this in mid-December gives me a bit more insurance thru the winter that I won't have wind burn and such.

I love this product! It uses natural pine resin as a coating that helps the plant keep moisture. I've found that this works well for dry summer conditions and also especially for transplanting while the root system still needs to take hold and develop. It's like my secret weapon. And it works for quite a while--just one or two applications gets me through a season, so it's easy to use.
