Protective sleeve for plant pots

Abstract

A circumferential sleeve for protecting the roots of a plant in a container or pot from temperature extremes. The sleeve is formed from a flexible composite material that comprises an outer layer of a reflective material secured to an inner layer of an insulative material. A sheet of the composite material has two opposing ends that may be coupled together with various fasteners to form the circumferential sleeve or barrier around a single pot or a pot assembly. When a black or dark-colored inner layer is bonded to a white or light-colored reflective outer layer, the plant's roots are exposed to a narrower range of temperature extremes. Preferably, the sleeve is secured to a stabilized base pot adapted to receive a production pot containing soil and a plant.
