Revive Thuja

 

Is it possible to revive cedar or cypress trees?

A natural, sustainable product: Vegetal Color is an eco-responsible algae-based colorant. It is similar to paint for plants, with immediate results that are harmless to flora and fauna.

Some customers have kept the effect for several years on slow-growing plants.

In this case, the Thuja hedge was partly brown, due to the different sizes. Vegetal Color gave it a beautiful new look in less than ten minutes. 2 years later, the plant is still covered.

Thuyas

After cleaning the cedar of broken branches, spider webs, bird nests, etc., apply 1 liter of DARK GREEN (covers approx. 30 m of hedge 2 m high, depending on the condition of the plant).

For application wear gloves and protection (dye product). Then, spray the “plant paint” on your hedge (or other plant support) and let it dry.

Temps d’application : 10 minutes

Drying time: 1-2 hours

Cyprès

The product is used in the same way whatever the plant to which it is applied.

Painting for plants

Vegetal Color revives the color of a sick hedge. Many people wonder how to hide a dead hedge or a cedar hedge. Replanting is time-consuming and costly. Vegetal Color is a solution with instant results and lower costs.

It also works on a diseased boxwood or a very dry cypress. It can also be used to paint a palm tree that is turning yellow.

The Vegetal Color “vegetable paint” makes it easy to maintain your garden while keeping it bright green. It also helps to fight against drought. By applying Vegetal Color to your lawn, you reduce the water needs of your lawn.

Painting plants is a practice that originated in the United States (California). It is used to deal with environmental problems such as drought.

The products

Drought in France

In France, the drought system cuts across two different administrative structures: 

  • The water management structure, which follows the geographical limits of the watersheds, a homogeneous unit from the point of view of water,
  • The alert structure, which follows the administrative boundaries of the state organization: the Departments.

When a water shortage is felt in a watershed, each concerned Department issues a decree to restrict water uses. This decree is issued by the Prefecture, and sent to all the mayors concerned.

Grass carbon footprint

Grass has much more than decorative virtues. Occupying 90-95% of green areas in private gardens and public green spaces, its contribution is multiple: 

  • It filters dust particles in the air,
  • Thanks to photocatalysis, it captures polluting gases (CO2, NO2)
  • It filters rainwater by capturing heavy components,
  • It absorbs noise in the city,
  • It reduces temperatures. 

According to a British study (*), grass captures twice as much carbon as a deciduous forest (oak, poplar, mulberry), for the same floor area. 

Thus, for an area of 1,000 m2, the lawn: 

  • Produces the amount of oxygen needed for 16 people,
  • Captures the CO2 production of 3 cars.

Water and Grass

Lawn is a grass, a family of plants which also include grasses and cereals. Grass is often a mixture of several species, the main ones being: 

Automatically generated image containing grass, outdoor, plant, field Description
  • Ryegrass,
  • Kentucky bluegrass,
  • Red fescue;
  • Agrostid,
  • The meadowsweet,
  • Tall fescue.

There are over 200 varieties, depending on the Group for the Study and Control of Varieties and Seeds (GEVES).

Its water needs

We are not talking about the water requirements of the lawn in general. It depends on the moisture conditions of the soil and the air. These are measured in meteorology by a parameter called evapotranspiration (or EVP).

An image containing grass, outdoor, field, green Description automatically generated

The community estimates that a lawn needs 4 to 6 liters of water per day per m2, up to 8 liters in the dry period. At the average price per m3 of water, this would come to 0.7 € / m2 / month. This is what everyone should spend to have a beautiful lawn. To this are added maintenance products and mowing.
