This guide is for gardeners seeking robust protection for tender plants against harsh winter weather. The Gardening Naturally Plant Fleece Jackets offer a key benefit of shielding plants from frost down to -7/8°C and wind, with a caveat that they can cause overheating if left on during warm, sunny days. These reusable fleece bags are designed to provide essential insulation while allowing air and moisture to reach the plant, featuring a convenient drawstring for easy application and removal.

The heavy-duty 70g horticultural fleece provides protection against frost down to approximately -7°C to -8°C.
They are ideal for tender, tropical, or young plants that are vulnerable to cold. They can also be used on shrubs, small trees, and certain vegetable plants. However, plants that thrive in full sun might need covers removed during the day.
It is recommended to remove the fleece bags during warmer, sunny days to prevent the plants from overheating. Monitor weather conditions and plant needs.
Gently wash the bags in warm, soapy water. Rinse well and allow them to air dry completely before storing.
Small bags measure 0.8m wide by 1m high, medium bags measure 1.2m wide by 1.8m high, and large bags measure 2m wide by 2.4m high.
Yes, the bags can be used upside down for hanging baskets. Place the bag over the basket and pull the drawstring tight around the hanging support.
Yes, the horticultural fleece is breathable and allows water and air to pass through to the plant while still offering protection from frost and wind.
After washing and drying them thoroughly, fold the bags and store them in a dry location, such as a shed or garage, ready for the next season.
The bag may have caused overheating. Remove the fleece bag during daylight hours, especially if the weather is sunny or warm. Ensure adequate ventilation for the plant.
Ensure the drawstring is fully threaded through the channel. If the cord is worn, consider replacing it with a new one. Make sure the bag is the appropriate size for the plant to avoid excess fabric bunching.
Handle the fleece gently during application and removal to minimize abrasion. Store the bags clean and dry to prevent degradation. If minor tears occur, they can sometimes be carefully mended.
Setup: To use the fleece plant jackets, simply place the bag over the plant, ensuring it covers the foliage and reaches the base of the stem or pot. Pull the integrated drawstring tight at the base to secure the bag, creating a snug fit that prevents wind ingress and heat loss. For hanging baskets, turn the bag inside out, place it over the basket, and pull the drawstring around the base of the hanger to secure.
Compatibility: These fleece bags are compatible with a wide variety of garden plants, including ornamental shrubs, tropical plants, tender perennials, and even small trees. They are also suitable for protecting vegetable crops during cold spells and can be used inside unheated greenhouses for an extra layer of frost protection.
Care: To maintain the fleece bags for future use, wash them gently in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and allow them to air dry completely. Once dry, fold them neatly and store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. This will help preserve the integrity of the fabric and ensure their effectiveness for the next gardening season.
