BonideWilt Stop, 40 oz Ready-to-Use Spray Anti-Transpirant Plant Protector, Long Lasting Effects, Extend the Life of Plants

My newly planted maple was wilting in the afternoon sun. Wiltstop prevented that from happening. Very pricey but what else can you do? You don't want your ridiculously price little tree to die, do you?

Tucker and I would like to tell you how wonderful this spray is, it’s a miracle! Sprayed on our Christmas tree in November and there were very few late needles lost through Valentine’s Day! Yes, I took off the Christmas ornaments and added Swedish hearts and left it in the room because it was so beautiful.This really is amazing stuff. It locks the moisture in so that the tree remains fresh.Even if you don’t keep your tree till Valentine’s Day, you’ll be happy you won’t be sweeping up needles each day.

Perfect for evergreen cuttings

The media could not be loaded. I read an online blog by a home decorator for Christmas. I was looking for guidance on how to hang a fresh cedar garland. Her article not only gave me great tips on how to hang one without making any holes in my wall but also how to care for a fresh garland so it lasts in my home all through December until I take it down. She recommended this product to preserve the garland after soaking it first which is a must for the garland to take in as much water as possible and for cleaning it of any dust or pests. I soaked my 15’ fresh cedar garland outside in a huge plastic tub filled with water for 24 hours. Then I let it dry in the shade for several hours. Once it was dry, I sprayed it all over front and back to lock in the water moisture and preserve the garland. I used one bottle of this on a 15’ garland and still had some left over for my 16” fresh pine wreath that I did the same with. I applied the Wilt Stop the weekend after TG and I’ve had the wreath and garland up since then and still up now as I write this review. The Wilt Stop adds a protective coating to prevent the fresh green foliage from drying up like what usually happens to your fresh tree and garland like in my case previous years. My wreath and garland still look as amazing as they did when I first got them. Good coverage is key or else wherever you missed a spot you will see the aging difference of dryness compared to the rest of the foliage where you did get coverage good. I missed a spot on my garland but it was only one little spot where it hung against the wall frame so you cant see it. This stuff is expensive but worth it once a year IMO if you want your fresh greenery to last and look beautiful in your home throughout the Christmas season without having to worry about putting on the heater and drying out your fresh Christmas tree, garland and wreath. Next year I will buy this product again and get a 2nd bottle for my Christmas tree. I didn’t apply this to my Christmas tree as I didn’t think about it at the time and my tree dried out quickly and doesn’t look nice. I did post a pic of my dry tree but not sure how well it shows in the picture but adding videos too so you can see how dry it is. I do recommend you spray this outside. It does have a light residue but nothing visible and you do feel it on your hands once it’s dry so where gloves. The residue is not heavy and it did not leave anything on my walls. Now I’m sad that the Christmas season is over and I have to take my garland down cause it’s still looks so beautifully green and fresh. This product is a game changer and I can’t wait to apply it to my Christmas tree next year. Highly recommend.

The media could not be loaded. I ordered the first product for $19.99 and it was supposed to come the next day, I got a notification that the package was damaged and returned to the warehouse. So I ordered another one from the same listing the next day and for some reason the same product now cost $23.99. Makes no sense but I needed it so I ordered it. It came damaged and there was liquid in the bag. So I’m over $40 into this for an incomplete bottle and days behind on my project. Disappointed with the buying experience. I can’t speak to the efficacy of the product as only time will tell but I’m hoping for the best.

I used this to keep the live greens in my window box soft and green throughout the winter.It works quite well. I’m the past the green (pine and fir branches) turned brown fairly quickly. This product kept them green and soft throughout the entire season. I take the Christmas decorations out of the window box and leave the greens. It looks a lot better than an empty box.

I bought this for Christmas garland, tree, and wreath. First I sprayed the wreath. The smell was beyond terrible. So I hung that outside and the wreath lasted most of December into 2nd week of January. Worked very well but could not put on tree as I didn't want to stink up the house. Plus, you have to spray the tree before you bring it into the house if you want to use it. It needs to dry. I wondered if it was a fire hazard too. I don't know but I decided not to use it after spraying the wreath.

I’m a licensed arborist and applicator in MA and can vouch for this product. Just a heads up though, you must spray to the point of runoff, and on the underside of the foliage, in order for this to be effective. I used one entire 40oz. spay bottle on a single 6’ foot tall Hinoki Cypress with drought damage. I’ll report back next summer.
