Excessive moisture loss from plants causes severe wilting, shock or plant death. It occurs in winter when drying winds and frozen ground deprive plants of their natural moisture intake, when plant roots are disturbed during transplanting, during periods of drought, or when Christmas trees and greens are cut. WILT STOP® forms a protective coating which holds moisture in on plant foliage reducing water loss during plant stress. WILT STOP® forms a clear flexible film without interfering with plant growth. Only one application per season is typically needed.
WILT STOP® can be used on deciduous trees, evergreens, shrubs, turf, roses, flowering plants, vegetables, fruits, transplants, cut plants, indoor plants, Christmas trees, and others.
SHAKE WELL BEFORE USING. SPRAY TOPS AND BOTTOMS OF LEAVES, NEEDLES AND STEMS TO RUN-OFF. ALWAYS ALLOW WILT STOP® TO DRY OUTDOORS IN DAYLIGHT, WASH SPRAYER WITH WARM WATER AND DETERGENT AFTER EACH USE.
For winter kill protection Mix 1 (one) part WILT STOP® to 5 (five) parts water. For all other uses, mix 1 (one) part WILT STOP® to 10 (ten) parts water. Always add WILT STOP® to water, not vice versa.
For spring, summer and fall transplanting, water plants thoroughly, when possible, before spraying with WILT STOP®. Do not spray or dip roots.

Spray once each season, in the spring.
Spray in the late fall when temperature is above freezing so that spray will not freeze on foliage. When spraying on arborvitae, cypress, juniper, and cedar, be aware that if species have not sufficiently hardened off for the winter whereby moisture retreats to the root system, moisture in plant cells could freeze and burst if early severe freezing weather should occur.
Spray cut or live plants before bringing indoors.
Spray to extend their freshness and beauty.
Spray houseplant to reduce water requirements.
Dip or spray to prevent drying out during storage.
Spray foliage to protect plants from salt damage in salt water areas and near roadways where salt is used to melt snow and ice.
Water plants normally. Then apply WILT STOP® to point of run-off.
Keep out of reach of children. Store and transport in a sealed and upright position.

Add WILT STOP® to water not water to WILT STOP®. Never spray or dip the roots of balled or bare root plants.
Freezing does not harm WILT STOP®. Simply shake well prior to use. Do not mix WILT STOP® with any other compound. Apply only per label
instructions. Always soak or water transplants thoroughly prior to applying WILT STOP®. Sprayers should be rinsed with warm soapy water immediately after each use. Avoid overspray. Fine finishes can be stained. Wash surfaces sprayed in
error with warm soapy water. Dried film can be dissolved with kerosene. Do not use on African violets or exotic, slow growing dwarf plants. WILT STOP® may turn blue spruce and similar species of evergreen a green
color. If this occurs, natural coloring will return with the next season's growth. Before using WILT STOP® on large numbers of plants, test it under your
conditions on just a few plants first. Do not use WILT STOP® on any variety of arborvitae, cedar, cypress,
chamaecyparis, juniper, sequoia, dwarf conifer or similar plant species without testing first.
Thorough coverage is important. Apply WILT STOP® at least 1 hour prior to rainfall.
Sunlight is needed for the protective film to properly set. Do not use for winter protection where temperatures drop below – 30°
centigrade.
