Horticultural anti-transpirants are substances applied to plants to reduce water loss through transpiration, which is the process of water movement through a plant and its evaporation from leaves, stems, and flowers. By creating a thin film or barrier on the plant's surface, anti-transpirants can help conserve moisture, especially during periods of drought, extreme temperatures, or stress.
Anti-transpirants are ideal for helping plants cope:
New Plantings:
To reduce transplant shock and improve the survival rate of newly planted trees, shrubs, or other plants.
Drought Conditions:
To help established plants conserve water and withstand dry periods.
High-Value Landscapes:
To protect valuable or sensitive plants from water stress and ensure their health and appearance.
Large Properties:
When the size of the landscape makes it impractical for homeowners to apply anti-transpirants themselves.
