Flower and plant protection plastic

The possibility of frostbite of plants is one of the common occurrences in the cold season due to the sudden drop in air temperature. But what points should we follow to protect and maintain plants against frost? In the following article, we tried to introduce you to flower and plant protection plastic, which is one of the methods of keeping plants, especially to protect them from frost.

Covering flowers and plants with plastic

There are various covers to prevent the cold and freezing of the plant, of which the use of plastic cover is one of the most common. To cover the plants, close the small spaces around the pot well and cover it with plastic. Of course, covering does not mean attaching the cover to the plant, but rather creating a protective shield against the cold. For bigger plants like shrubs, it is better to do two things; Separate the trunk and cover the crown (leaf part) separately. The advantages of using this method are:

• Protection of flowers and plants against cold and cold winds
• Maintaining heat and humidity for the growth of flowers and plants in cold seasons
• Preventing leaves and fruits from freezing, especially due to morning dew
• Creating an optimal temperature by preventing the penetration of cold air in the leaves of plants and trees
• Preventing leaves and fruits from falling due to the sudden influx of cold air mass

Tips for pulling plastic on the plant

If you intend to create a plastic cover for your plants, you need to pay attention to the following points:

• To cover the plants, it is better to make a frame first so that the contact surface between the cover and the foliage is minimized and the plastic does not harm the plant’s branches and leaves.
• Place the covers on the plants before it gets dark and remove them during the day if the weather is good so that the plants can enjoy light and air. This makes the plant absorb sunlight better and the plant stores some heat for the night.
• To create air flow and prevent moisture build-up, poke a few small holes in the plastic to allow air movement.
• Make sure the plastic is large enough to cover the entire plant and the soil around the plant trunk to retain soil heat.

Making a small plastic greenhouse

Many plants have brittle and thin stems so that they cannot be covered in a special way. Building temporary greenhouses is a simple idea to protect these plants against the cold. It is enough to use some pieces of wood or iron to build temporary greenhouses in the space around the garden. You can also use the walls and railings of the balcony to create a simple framework. To cover the frame, just use Greenhouse nylon or Wide nylon and very easily set up a temporary space similar to a real greenhouse and take care of your plants in the cold seasons of the year.
