Plants, trees and shrubbery take a beating during the winter season in Texas. When the temperatures are on a roller coaster from 30 to 80 degrees, your plants need help.
The main cause of dying plants throughout the winter months is desiccation. Desiccation is the drying out of plants and trees. There are several products you can get to prevent this from happening. Products are called anti-desiccants, available at any local hardware store.
There are a few tips when using these products:
- Choose a day when the temperatures are not extreme. Temperatures in the 40-50s are sufficient.
- Be through when spraying your plants, as they loose water from root to leaf- make sure you spray everything.
- Do not use anti-desiccants on blue waxy conifers. These already have a natural protectant.
