FAQs

What temperature can these fleece bags protect plants from?

The heavy-duty 70g horticultural fleece offers protection down to approximately -7/8 degrees Celsius.

Can I leave the fleece bags on all winter?

It is recommended to remove the bags on warmer or sunny days to prevent plants from overheating and to allow for proper air circulation and photosynthesis.

How do I choose the right size bag?

Select a size that comfortably covers the plant's foliage and stem. Small bags are 0.8m x 1m, medium are 1.2m x 1.8m, and large are 2m x 2.4m.

Are these bags suitable for vegetable plants?

Yes, they can be used on tender vegetable plants to provide protection against frost, wind, and hail during cold spells.

Can fleece bags be used on hanging baskets?

Yes, they can be used upside down and secured around the hanging basket to protect its contents.

How should I clean and store the fleece bags?

Wash in warm, soapy water, rinse, and air dry completely. Fold and store in a dry place until needed again.

Do the bags block sunlight completely?

The fleece blocks approximately 25% of sunlight. This can be beneficial in winter but may require removal in bright sun to prevent overheating.

Are these bags suitable for small trees?

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

Troubleshooting

Plant is overheating or getting too wet inside the bag.

Remove the fleece bag during warmer parts of the day, especially on sunny days. Ensure the drawstring is not excessively tight, allowing for some air circulation.

The drawstring is difficult to secure on a bushy plant.

Try gathering the lower branches gently before pulling the drawstring, or secure the bag around the pot rim instead of the base of the plant if feasible.

Fleece bag appears damaged after one season.

Inspect the bag for tears or weakened seams. If minor damage, it may still offer some protection. For significant damage, consider replacing the bag.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
