Lost Coast Plant Protector
Lost Coast Plant Protector is a concentrated plant-care supplement formulated to help plants better manage abiotic stress, meaning stress caused by non-living environmental factors. Use it in indoor gardens, greenhouses, outdoor crops, and on many ornamental or edible plants when applied according to the manufacturer’s directions.
What Is Abiotic Stress?
Abiotic stress comes from environmental conditions, not living organisms. Plants can experience this type of stress when growing conditions become too harsh or change rapidly.
Common causes of abiotic stress include:
- Excessive heat
- Cold temperatures
- Drought or lack of water
- Excess water
- Humidity that is too high or too low
- Excessive light intensity
- Transplant shock
- High salinity
- Sudden temperature fluctuations
- Unfavourable root-zone conditions
Lost Coast Plant Protector is formulated as a supplement to support plants experiencing this type of environmental stress. You can incorporate it into a regular plant-care program to support plants when growing conditions become less favourable.
Abiotic Stress vs. Biotic Stress: What Is the Difference?
Distinguishing abiotic stress from biotic stress is important.
Abiotic stress comes from non-living environmental factors, such as heat, cold, light, water, salinity or other growing conditions.
Biotic stress, on the other hand, is caused by living organisms that affect the plant. These may include:
- Insects
- Mites
- Fungi
- Bacteria
- Viruses
- Other organisms that may colonize or damage plants
In simple terms:
Abiotic stress = environment
Biotic stress = living organisms
This distinction is especially important when describing Lost Coast Plant Protector. In Canada, the product is positioned as a supplement intended to support plants under abiotic stress. It should therefore not be confused with a pesticide or a product specifically registered to control insects, mites or plant diseases.
A Versatile Plant-Care Formula
Lost Coast Plant Protector is formulated with a blend of ingredients, including soybean oil, peppermint oil, and citric acid, along with biodegradable soap, isopropyl alcohol, sodium citrate, and purified water.
Its concentrated formula can be used as a foliar application or applied to the root zone, making it easy to integrate into different plant-care and cultivation programs.
When used as directed, it can be incorporated at several stages of plant development, from seedlings and clones through harvest.
Foliar Application
For foliar use, Lost Coast Plant Protector is typically mixed at:
1 oz of concentrate per gallon of clean water
Shake the product thoroughly before measuring, then mix it well with water. Continue agitating the solution regularly during application to help maintain a uniform mixture.
Apply thoroughly to plant surfaces, including:
- Tops of leaves
- Undersides of leaves
- Stems
- Other accessible plant surfaces
Test the mixture on a small area or individual plant before treating an entire crop.
Root-Zone Application
Lost Coast Plant Protector can also be used as a soil or root-zone drench.
The typical mixing rate is also:
1 oz per gallon of water
This method lets growers incorporate the product into a regular watering routine when plants face stressful environmental conditions.
Indoor and Outdoor Application Tips
For indoor cultivation, apply preferably under low light or during the lights-off period. Allow plants to dry completely before intense lighting returns.
For outdoor cultivation, apply early in the morning or in the evening. Avoid spraying plants during periods of high heat or intense midday sunlight.
Because some naturally derived ingredients may separate during storage, always shake the container thoroughly before measuring and continue agitating during use.
