Has anyone used Cloud Cover Spray? It's supposed to protect plants from extreme heat and even frost. It sounds too good to be true but if it works up here in Northern California, it would be worth the try. It's a polymer spray that is non-toxic and works on almost every plant except ones that have hairy leaves.
Their claim is:
Watch your plants flourish with less frequent watering when you use CloudCover® plant protector. CloudCover forms a thin, flexible film that allows plants to breathe but reduces water loss. This protects plants from damaging seasonal and environmental extremes, such as wind, winter cold and summer heat. You can also reduce transplant shock, keeping fragile transplants from drying out before their root systems develop. Good for indoor and outdoor plants, CloudCover spray dries clear and leaves no sticky residue.
I just tried it and am waiting to see if it makes any difference in the plants that get baked in the sun.
Cloud Cover Spray
I used cloud cover during the freeze we had two winters ago but I'm not sure that it helped. I lost all of my statice anyway but didn't lose anything else. I've never tried it for the summer heat though. Let us know how it works. I still have some that I can Use , maybe I'll use it on the new hostas I just put in.
Sounds like a neat product. I would like to try it on leaves before packing them for trades, or for spraying cuttings.
I've heard a "homemade" way is to spritz sugar water on leaves, but this sounds like it would be better, and not necessarily attract ants. ;)
Where do you buy it?

At almost any garden center.
Thank you. I'm going to try it.
