It's a concentrate you dilute and spray over the foliage, where it dries into an invisible protective film. Think of it as a combination of sunscreen and a windbreak for your plants: it can reduce moisture loss by up to 50%, increase frost tolerance by as much as 4°C, and help plants shrug off sunburn, windburn, salt spray and transplant shock. It won't impede growth or photosynthesis, and it's non-toxic, pH-neutral and biodegradable.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHow Envy Works\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOnce sprayed on and dried, Envy forms an invisible, semi-permeable polymer membrane across the leaf, stem and fruit surfaces. The clever part is that the membrane still lets the plant breathe. It stays permeable to oxygen, carbon dioxide and ethylene, so photosynthesis and normal growth carry on as usual. What it does slow down is the loss of water and water vapour through transpiration, which is where the up to 50% moisture saving comes from. For frost, that same film acts as a physical barrier against the ice-nucleating bacteria and surface water that trigger frost damage, lifting a plant's frost tolerance by up to 4°C. It has been shown to protect down to around -4°C.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat It Protects Against\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEnvy is designed to shield plants from a spread of climate stresses: excessive moisture loss, light to medium frost, sunburn, salt spray and windburn, wilting in hot dry conditions, and the shock of transplanting. It can be used across most crops, trees, vegetables, turf, ornamentals and flower crops, so it suits everything from a veggie patch heading into a frosty night to potted colour facing a heatwave.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHow to Mix and Apply\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEnvy is a concentrate, so it needs to be diluted with water and applied through a garden sprayer. As a general guide the mix rate is around 10mL of Envy per 1 litre of water, so a 500mL bottle makes up to roughly 50 litres of spray, though you should confirm the rate on the label for your particular use. Shake the bottle well first. Fill your sprayer with water, then add the measured Envy to the tank after the water, which helps avoid foaming, and mix. Spray a fine, even mist over the whole plant, covering both sides of the leaves and spraying to the point of run-off, since the protection only works where the film actually forms.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhen to Apply and How Long It Lasts\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTiming matters. Apply Envy a day or a few days ahead of the expected frost, heatwave or transplant, so it has time to dry and set before the stress hits. Allow it 2 to 3 hours to set before any watering. Depending on conditions, temperature, wind, sun exposure, how well you covered the plant and the dilution used, a single application protects for roughly 21 to 60 days. Reapply after heavy rain or once the plant has put on significant new growth, since that fresh growth won't be covered by the original spray.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eImportant Application Notes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA few things make the difference between it working and not. Don't apply when the air or water temperature is below 5°C, or when the plants are already wet, as that dilutes the film. Avoid spraying when temperatures are above 35°C, to prevent stressing the plant. Don't spray during flowering, so you don't interfere with pollination. And don't mix Envy with any other pesticide or fertiliser in the tank; apply it either after those products or 10 to 14 days beforehand. Rinse your spray equipment thoroughly before and after use, since dried Envy can block nozzles. Although it's non-toxic, keep it away from children and pets as you would any garden product.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKey Features \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAnti-transpirant and frost protectant in one\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eReduces moisture loss through transpiration by up to 50%\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIncreases frost tolerance by up to 4°C, shown down to around -4°C\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eProtects against sunburn, windburn, salt spray and wilting\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHelps plants through transplant shock\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eForms a breathable film that won't impede photosynthesis or growth\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNon-toxic, pH-neutral and biodegradable\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eConcentrate: a 500mL bottle makes up to around 50 litres of spray\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSuits crops, trees, vegetables, turf, ornamentals and flowers\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is Envy and what does it do?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt's an anti-transpirant and frost protectant.
