Bonide Wilt Stop, 16 oz Ready-to-Use Christmas Tree and Wreath Spray, Reduces Moisture Loss & Extends Life of Plants

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I personally love this for preventing dry out and wind burn and it does just that! Very effective. I will be testing this out during the winter time to see how it performs. Comes with a lot and sprayer works very well. Scent is not too strong

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used Bonide Wilt Stop on a group of butterfly bushes I had just planted in the middle of summer heat. They were clearly stressed from the move—droopy leaves, no new growth, and wilting by late afternoon even after watering. After applying Wilt Stop, I noticed a visible difference within a couple of days. The leaves perked up, stayed hydrated longer, and the plants began adjusting to their new spot with less stress. Application was easy—just spray the tops and undersides of the leaves until they're fully coated. I made sure to apply in the early morning when the weather was calm and not too hot. The protective film helps reduce water loss, which is especially important while the roots are still establishing. It's also nice that it's biodegradable and safe for pollinators once dry. What I love: • Prevents wilting and leaf drop in freshly planted shrubs • Gives the roots time to settle without the plant going into full shock • One application lasted several weeks, even through some wind and sun • Doesn't harm pollinators like butterflies or bees once it dries Tip: Water the plant thoroughly before spraying and avoid applying during extreme heat. I plan to reapply once more before fall to help the bushes harden off before winter. ⸻ 🐛 Final Thoughts If you're planting butterfly bushes—or any other sensitive shrubs—in summer or during a drought, Bonide Wilt Stop is a lifesaver. It made the difference between thriving and struggling for my new plants. Highly recommend for transplant shock protection.
