FAQs

What is the purpose of the adjustable vent?

The adjustable vent allows you to control the amount of airflow, temperature, and humidity inside the cloche, which is crucial for adapting to different weather conditions and plant needs.

Do I need to secure the cloches with pegs?

While the cloches are designed to be stable, steel pegs are not included. For windy locations or to ensure maximum stability, it is recommended to use separate garden stakes or pegs to secure the base.

How large of a plant can fit under one cloche?

Each cloche is 20 cm high with an outer diameter of 25 cm, making them ideal for seedlings, young plants, and smaller established plants.

Can these cloches be used on pots?

Yes, they are suitable for use over plants in pots or containers, as well as directly in garden beds.

What material are the cloches made from?

They are made from high-quality vacuum-formed APET (Amorphous Polyethylene Terephthalate), which is durable and lightweight.

How should I clean the cloches?

Clean them with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the plastic.

Are these cloches frost-proof?

They offer protection against light frosts by creating a warmer microclimate, but they are not designed for severe freezing conditions. For harsh frosts, additional protection may be needed.

Troubleshooting

Cloche is unstable in windy conditions.

Secure the base of the cloche with separate garden stakes or pegs. Ensure the base is pressed firmly into the soil.

Plants seem to be overheating.

Adjust the top vent to allow for more airflow. Consider removing the cloche during the hottest part of the day.

Excessive condensation inside the cloche.

Open the top vent fully to increase ventilation and reduce humidity.

Cloches arrived with minor scratches.

Light surface scratches on vacuum-formed plastic are normal and do not affect functionality. If damage is significant, contact the retailer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care:
