Winter fleece PROTECT ECO

The natural winter protection for the garden

This winter protection product is the right choice for all gardening enthusiasts who value sustainability. At the same time, it offers the advantages of a classic winter protection: it is lightweight and flexible, adapts well and protects your plants in winter against cold, wind and sun. The winter protection can be quickly wrapped around the plants and then secured with a tie cord, for example made of jute or sheep’s wool, from the Windhager range. The winter fleece has a weight of 30 g/m² and is available in two different sizes.

How to prepare your plants optimally for winter

A winter fleece helps protect potted plants, (young) trees and shrubs in the garden from frost and wind during the cold season. In late autumn, just before winter sets in, the plants should be well wrapped. Branches and bulky plants can be tied together with a cord – for example with the coconut tree tie from the Windhager range – before wrapping them with the winter fleece. After that, wrapping the plants with the fleece is quick and easy. Make sure that the entire plant is covered and that no branches or leaves remain visible. For optimal protection, the fleece should be wrapped several times around the whole plant. Then secure it with a tie cord so that the plants remain reliably protected throughout the winter. Suitable tying accessories are also available in the Windhager range. In the case of potted plants, the pot should also be protected. This can be done quickly and easily with a pot protector from Windhager. For all-round protection, the pot can additionally be placed on a plant pot base.

Useful information about winter protection

Fertilising: Fertilise your plants for the last time in autumn with organic fertiliser and in summer with mineral fertiliser. As fertiliser stimulates plant growth, fresh shoots may otherwise develop even in late autumn. These young shoots are more susceptible to frost and plants therefore often suffer damage in winter.

Watering: A winter fleece reduces water evaporation inside and also protects against drying out caused by frost or wind. Nevertheless, plants also need water in winter and must be watered regularly. Watering is best done on mild days at temperatures above 0°C.

Note: There are particularly sensitive plants which – depending on the winter and the geographical location – cannot overwinter outdoors despite winter protection. They must spend the cold season in a frost-free, sheltered place. In general, in extreme weather conditions, simple winter protection cannot guarantee that plants will come through the winter undamaged. If in doubt, consult a gardening expert.
