Just found out about this product and wanted to share. You apply it to the fronds like you would sunscreen for your skin.

I’ve experimented with similar products but not found any noticeable difference for frost or sun protection to control surfaces. I’d be curious to hear whether anyone has had positive experiences with these type of products.

    I tried a product called Envy many years ago, and like @tim_brissy_13 I found no difference using the product. And it most certainly won’t stop the plant cells freezing in a frost. A bit like those electronic mouse deterent devices every few years they market them with a big advertising campaign yet they don’t work. I have seen this product come and go  the same way, catching the new market of buyers.

    It seems to work for this guy. In this video it shows the difference between two satake palms. One has a lot of burn spots and the one below has almost none because they used the product. I actually don’t need it but maybe someone you crown shaft lovers might want to try lol

    Just like anything peddled by Miracle - Cr#p.. ...or the spray on " frost protection " stuff,  It's just a carrot dangled on a stick kind of gimmick / waste of $$, no matter what someone on youtube says..

    Feed, site, and water a plant correctly and it will resist climate - related stressors ...as best as it has evolved  to.  Emphasize ..evolved.. :greenthumb:
