Product Information

Full details

The Haxnicks King Size Victorian Bell Cloche is designed for gardeners looking to extend their growing season and protect tender plants. Its primary benefit is creating a warmer, sheltered microclimate to encourage early growth and safeguard against frost and pests. A key consideration is that securing pins are sold separately and are required for optimal stability. This reusable, lightweight cloche helps warm soil, protects young seedlings, and conserves warmth while directing rainwater effectively. Key features include a built-in roof vent for airflow and pre-set holes for soil anchoring.

FAQs

Are securing pins included with the cloche?

No, securing pins are not included. You will need to purchase four pins with a 4mm hole diameter per cloche separately.

What are the dimensions of the King Size Victorian Bell Cloche?

The cloche has a height of 31cm (1 foot) and a diameter of 40cm (1 foot 3 inches).

How does the cloche manage rainwater?

The design effectively channels rainwater into the soil around the base of the plant, preventing water from pooling inside the cloche.

Can this cloche be used for vegetables and flowers?

Yes, it is suitable for protecting a wide range of plants, including vegetables, herbs, flowers, and semi-hardy perennials.

How do I clean the cloche?

Clean the cloche with a damp cloth or a soft brush. Avoid using abrasive cleaning materials.

Is the material durable?

Yes, the cloche is made from a lightweight yet shatter-resistant material designed for reusability and longevity in garden conditions.

What is the purpose of the roof vent?

The built-in roof vent allows for control of airflow and ventilation within the cloche, helping to regulate temperature and humidity.

Troubleshooting

Cloche is unstable in windy conditions

Ensure the cloche is firmly seated in the soil and use the recommended four securing pins per cloche. For very exposed locations, consider additional temporary weights around the base.

Condensation buildup inside the cloche

Open the built-in roof vent to increase airflow. If excessive, consider slightly lifting the cloche base or removing it during the warmest part of the day.

Plant growth seems stunted despite protection

Check that the roof vent is adequately open for ventilation, as too much trapped heat can hinder growth. Ensure the plant is receiving appropriate light and water, and that the soil is not compacted.

Pests are still getting inside

Verify that the base of the cloche is fully sealed against the soil. Ensure no gaps are present where small pests can enter.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Effectively warms soil and protects plants from frost.
  • Encourages earlier crop yields by extending the growing season.
  • Provides a sheltered microclimate for establishing herbs and perennials.
  • Manages water and airflow effectively with thoughtful design features.
  • Reusable and durable construction for long-term use.
  • Large size accommodates a good number of plants or larger specimens.

Cons

  • Securing pins are not included and must be purchased separately.
  • Requires four pins per cloche for secure placement, adding to the initial setup cost.
  • The lightweight nature might require extra care in very windy conditions, even with pins.
  • No specific UV protection mentioned, which might be a consideration for prolonged, intense sun exposure on very delicate plants.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Place the cloche directly over the plant or area you wish to protect.
  2. Ensure the base is firmly settled into the soil for stability.
  3. For secure anchoring, use four garden pins (not included) with a 4mm hole diameter. Insert these through the pre-set holes in the base rim and push them firmly into the ground around the cloche.
  4. Adjust the roof vent as needed to control airflow.

Compatibility:

  • Suitable for use with most garden soil types.
  • Designed for direct placement over individual plants, small groups of seedlings, or young garden beds.
  • Compatible with standard 4mm garden securing pins.

Care:

  • Clean with a damp cloth or soft brush. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to prolong lifespan.
  • Check for any debris or soil buildup and clean periodically.
