Frosty winter protection for your plants!

Brrr, cold, isn’t it? You bundle yourself up warmly in a thick winter coat and wrap a scarf around your neck, but your plants also need a little extra warmth during the chilly winter months.
In this blog, we’ll tell you how to help your plants survive the winter!

The greenhouse as a winter haven

In the summer, the greenhouse overflows, but in autumn, it begins to feel more spacious. That’s the perfect time to transform the greenhouse into a temporary winter refuge for frost-sensitive plants.

Tropical plants and potted plants, in particular, struggle during the winter. Want to spoil them a little extra? You can heat the greenhouse with a heater, ensuring the plants stay cozy and warm! Many heaters also double as fans, which helps keep mold and pests at bay during the summer. A smart 2-in-1 solution for every season!

Pair a digital thermostat with your heater, and you’ll effortlessly create the perfect climate! Plus, you’ll avoid unnecessary energy use, which is not only better for the environment but also for your wallet.

Light a candle!

Did you know you can also keep your greenhouse frost-free using our eco-friendly candles from BioGreen? These candles are made from recycled natural fats, so no paraffin or stearin is involved! Always place the candles in a terracotta heater to ensure they burn safely. This heating method is perfect for smaller greenhouses.

Protect your plants with a winter cover!

Our plant covers allow light and air to pass through, ensuring your plants can breathe and preventing mold formation. At the same time, they provide protection against frost, rain, wind, dehydration, and snow. The thermal covers come in a variety of sizes—from compact versions for smaller potted plants to XXL variants for larger Mediterranean plants. You can choose covers with or without a viewing window, as well as with Velcro or a zipper. Some models can even be combined with a heating cable for extra protection.

Keep an eye on your plants!

Out of sight, out of mind? Not for your plants! Regularly check to ensure the potting soil doesn’t dry out. Covers with a viewing window are especially handy for this. With a quick glance, you can see how your plants are doing, and you can easily water them through the window without removing the cover.

There are also jute and fleece protective fabrics available to shield specific parts of your plants, such as the crown, root system, or trunk. This is especially important for young (fruit) trees, as their delicate trunks need extra protection from the icy cold. Want to protect your plant's root ball from drying out? Place coconut discs around the base of the trunk—a simple yet effective solution!

Don't let your pots crack!

Prevent your beautiful patio pots from cracking due to frost by wrapping them in a pot protector! You can also insulate your flower pots with bubble wrap—just like the inside of your greenhouse!
