Troubleshooting

Plant appears to be overheating or showing signs of wilting on a sunny day.

Remove the fleece bag immediately on warmer or sunny days to allow for adequate ventilation and prevent heat build-up.

Drawstring not holding securely.

Ensure the drawstring is pulled taut around the base of the plant or pot. If the cord is frayed, consider replacing it.

Fleece bag seems too small for a large plant.

Check if a larger size is available or consider using multiple bags or a different frost protection method for very large specimens.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To use, simply place the fleece bag over the plant, ensuring it covers the foliage and extends to the base. Pull the integrated drawstring tight around the stem or pot to secure the bag. For hanging baskets, invert the bag and secure the drawstring around the basket’s rim.

Compatibility: Suitable for a wide range of plants including shrubs, perennials, young trees, tender vegetables, and tropical plants. The large size (2m x 2.4m) is recommended for small trees and tall shrubs. Can be used directly in the garden or even inside unheated greenhouses for added protection.

Care: After the growing season, wash the fleece bags in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and allow them to air dry completely before storing. Fold and keep in a dry place until needed for the next season. The durable 70g fabric is designed for repeated use.
