Q&A
FOR BEST RESULTS
Water the plants thoroughly before covering.
For easiest application, partially cinch (6 ft., 8 ft. and 10 ft. only) the
cover before placing over the plant. Unless the plant is dormant, do
not leave on for extended periods of time, as
the Planket
®
will prevent
crucial sunlight from reaching the plant, which may damage the
plant.
For potted plants, tighten the cinch as low as possible around the pot.
For in-ground plants, tighten the cinch around the base of the plant
as close to the soil as possible or secure to the ground by inserting
stakes (sold separately) or cord through the grommets in
the Planket
®
.
NOTE
The effectiveness of
the Planket
®
can vary depending on weather
conditions and the cold tolerance of the plant.
the Planket
®
is only
intended to help plants during frosts and light freezes, and there is no
guarantee
the Planket
®
will protect plants in all circumstances.

Q: Is the Planket frost cover washable?
A: The Planket can be easily washed with a water hose and then
air-dried. While machine washing is not recommended, some users
have reported that washing with cold water on a gentle cycle may also
clean the Planket.
- - - - -
Q: Is the Planket frost cover waterproof?
A: The Planket is made from a water resistant, breathable fabric.
Unlike sheets or blankets that will soak up water and potentially
damage tender plants by crushing them, rain and/or sleet will bead up
and roll off the Planket. The Planket will become wet, but never
heavy.
- - - - -
Q: Against what temperature does the Planket frost cover protect plants?
A: Unfortunately, there are too many variables to provide an exact
temperature. Variables include not only the air temperature, but also
the wind chill, the humidity and the inherent resistance to cold of the
particular plant.
- - - - -
Q: Does the Planket frost cover create heat?
A: No, but the Planket will retain heat from the surrounding soil to
help protect plants from frost damage.
- - - - -
Q: How long can the Planket frost cover be left on my plants?
A: All plants require sunlight and while each plant is different, they
should all receive as much time in the sun as possible. It is important
that the Planket covers be removed once the sun comes out and the
temperature is above freezing; otherwise, the plants may fall victim to
excess heat.
- - - - -
Q: Is it ok to leave the Planket on for weeks at a time?
A: No, the Planket is effective for short periods of frost and light
freezes only.
- - - - -
Q: Are there any other suggestions to protect my plants from frost
damage?
A: Stringing incandescent mini Christmas lights around the plant before
covering with the Planket frost cover has been reported as being a
successful source of warmth, as incandescent light bulbs emit a slight
amount of heat. It is important that incandescent mini lights, rather
than LED lights are used, since LED lights do not generate heat.
