FAQs

What is the temperature range these fleece bags protect down to?

These fleece plant jackets protect plants from frost down to -7/8ºC.

How do I secure the fleece bag on my plant?

Each fleece jacket has a drawstring at the base. Simply place the bag over the plant and pull the cord tight to secure it around the base of the plant or pot.

Can these fleece bags be used on small trees?

Yes, the large size bags are suitable for protecting small trees, as well as shrubs and tall plants.

Do the fleece bags allow water and air to reach the plant?

Yes, the 70g horticultural fleece is breathable and allows both air and moisture to pass through, ensuring the plant receives necessary aeration and hydration.

Can the fleece bags be left on during rain?

Yes, the material is designed to withstand wet weather while maintaining airflow to the plant underneath.

How should I store the fleece bags when not in use?

After washing and drying them, fold the bags and keep them in a dry place, ready for the next season.

Are these bags suitable for vegetable plants?

Yes, the bags can be used on tender vegetable plants to provide added frost and wind protection during cold spells.

Troubleshooting

Plant still shows signs of frost damage.

Ensure the drawstring is pulled tight to seal the base, and that the fleece fully covers the plant without large gaps. For extreme cold, consider using additional insulation or bringing the plant indoors if possible.

Fleece jacket is difficult to fit over a large plant.

Gently manipulate the fleece to open it wider, or consider if a larger size jacket is needed for future use. Ensure the plant's branches are not overly dense.

Fleece feels damp or shows signs of mold after storage.

The fleece was likely not dried completely before storage. Ensure the fleece is thoroughly air-dried before folding and storing to prevent mold and mildew growth.
