FAQs
What are the dimensions of each fleece jacket?
Each jacket measures W60 x H80 cm (Width 60 cm x Height 80 cm).
Can these jackets be used on larger plants?
These jackets are best suited for small to medium-sized plants or containers. For larger plants, multiple jackets or a larger size may be required.
How do I ensure the jacket stays on during windy conditions?
Pull the drawstring firmly at the base of the plant or pot to create a secure fit. For extra security in very windy areas, you can tie the drawstring or secure it with a garden clip.
Will the plants get enough sunlight and water?
Yes, the fleece material is designed to allow sunlight, air, and moisture to filter through to the plants while providing protection.
How should I clean the fleece jackets?
Gently shake off loose debris. If washing is needed, hand wash with cold water and allow to air dry completely before storing.
Are these jackets suitable for all types of pests?
They offer general protection against common garden pests like slugs and snails. For specific or severe pest infestations, additional pest control measures may be necessary.
How many jackets are included in a pack?
Each pack contains four frost protection fleece jackets.
Troubleshooting
Plant appears waterlogged inside the jacket.
Ensure the drawstring is not overly tightened, allowing for adequate air and moisture exchange. Remove the jacket during mild, sunny days to allow the plant to dry out.
Jacket is difficult to secure.
Ensure the drawstring channel is clear of debris. If the plant is too tall or wide for the jacket, consider a larger size or alternative protection method.
Fleece seems to be degrading after one season.
Inspect the jacket for signs of excessive wear or damage. Store dry and clean to prolong its lifespan. Extreme weather conditions may reduce its durability.

Compatibility: These jackets are compatible with plants in garden beds, borders, individual pots, and hanging baskets. Their size is best suited for smaller to medium-sized plants or containers.
