ABSTRACT:
A reusable plant protector apparatus which can be anchored to the earth comprises a polymeric sheet having a top edge, a bottom edge, and two side edges. The two side edges further comprise a plurality of matching pairs of apertures which are offset from the side edges. The matching apertures are aligned such that an aperture on one side edge bas a corresponding aperture on the other side edge when the sheet is formed into a cylinder with a side edge overlap. The plant protector apparatus also includes a stake and a plurality of flexible ties extending through the apertures and around the stake for securing the overlapping side edges and the stake to each other. The ties are tightenable to tighten the stake against the overlapping edges thereby sealing the edges and forming a flexible cylinder around the plant to be protected. The plant protector creates a sheltered climate of higher temperature and humidity around the plant. The plant protector apparatus may also be vented to adjust the temperature and humidity surrounding the plant.
