FAQs

What is the maximum temperature drop these bags can protect against?

The heavy-duty 70g horticultural fleece provides protection against frost down to approximately -7 to -8 degrees Celsius.

Can I leave the fleece bags on my plants all winter?

It is recommended to remove the bags on warmer or sunny days to prevent overheating and allow the plant to receive adequate sunlight for photosynthesis. Reapply them when cold weather is expected.

How do I clean the fleece bags?

You can wash them in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and allow them to air dry completely before storing.

Are these bags suitable for protecting small trees?

Yes, the large size bags (2m x 2.4m) are suitable for protecting small trees, shrubs, and other tall plants.

Do the bags allow water to reach the plant's roots?

Yes, the horticultural fleece is breathable and allows water and air to pass through, so the plant can receive moisture while still being protected from frost.

Can I use these bags on hanging baskets?

Yes, the drawstring design allows them to be used upside down for quick fitting and securing on hanging baskets.

What happens if it rains heavily while the bag is on?

The fleece material is designed to withstand wet weather and maintain airflow to the plant underneath, so leaving them on during rain is acceptable.

How should I store the bags when not in use?

After washing and drying, fold the bags and keep them in a dry place, such as a shed or garage, ready for the next season.

Troubleshooting

Plant appears to be overheating or suffering from lack of light.

Remove the fleece bag during the day, especially on sunny or warm days, to allow for adequate sunlight and air circulation. Reapply only when colder temperatures are expected.

Fleece bag feels damp or waterlogged inside.

Ensure the bag is not trapping excessive moisture. While breathable, prolonged heavy rain might require temporary removal or checking for proper airflow.

Drawstring is difficult to tighten or secure.

Ensure there are no obstructions around the base of the plant or pot. If the drawstring appears frayed, consider a gentle repair or replacement.

Plant protection seems insufficient during extreme cold.

These bags protect down to -7/8ºC. For colder conditions, consider using additional insulation methods or bringing very sensitive plants indoors.

Pros

Excellent frost and weather protection for vulnerable plants.
Durable and reusable construction for long-term value.

Breathable fabric promotes plant health by allowing air and moisture circulation.
Available in multiple sizes to fit a range of plants.

Cons

Requires manual removal on warmer/sunnier days to prevent overheating.

Large size sold individually, potentially higher cost for large plants.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Select the appropriate size fleece bag for your plant.
Place the bag carefully over the plant, ensuring it covers the foliage and extends to the base.
Pull the drawstring tight around the base of the plant or pot to secure the bag.
For hanging baskets, you can invert the bag and use the drawstring to secure it around the basket rim.

Compatibility:

Suitable for most garden plants, including shrubs, perennials, tender plants, small trees, and vegetable plants.
Can be used on plants in pots or directly in the ground.
Effective in garden beds, greenhouses (for added protection), and on balconies.

Care:

After use, gently wash the fleece bags in warm, soapy water to remove soil and debris.
Rinse thoroughly and allow the bags to air dry completely.
Once dry, fold them neatly and store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the material for future use.
Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as this may damage the fleece.
