Some tips:

Ensure the entire plant is covered all the way to the ground. The warmth from the ground helps retain heat underneath the cover. This is why we recommend using the Ghost Method instead of the Lollipop Method.

Weigh it down. Whether you’re using stakes, rocks/pavers, or even your gardening tools, make sure the cover won’t blow away in case of high winds.

Don’t use plastic! Avoid using plastic because it’s not breathable, which could suffocate the plant. Also, where it makes contact with leaves, it causes cold damage.

Stay warm!

Anybody can sell you plants, we make sure you succeed.
