Liquid impermeable decorative sleeve for flower pot

A substantially liquid impermeable package for a potted plant, the potted plant comprising a flower pot having an upper end and an outer peripheral surface and a floral grouping disposed in the flower pot, the substantially liquid impermeable package comprising:

• a flexible sleeve which is substantially liquid impermeable, the flexible sleeve having an outer surface, an inner surface, an upper end, a closed lower end, a sidewall and an inner retaining space into which the flower pot is disposable and which is accessible through the upper end, at least a portion of the flexible sleeve constructed from a material which is substantially liquid impermeable and comprising at least one layer of polymeric film and the flexible sleeve having seals formed in the sidewall and closed lower end thereof which are substantially liquid impermeable, the flexible sleeve further comprising:
• a lower portion having an upper end and being tapered from the closed lower end of the flexible sleeve toward a larger diameter at the upper end of the lower portion and being sized to be substantially adjacent to and substantially surround and encompass the outer peripheral surface of the flower pot when the potted plant is disposed in the flexible sleeve;
• an upper portion being sized to substantially surround and encompass the floral grouping disposed within the flower pot when the potted plant is disposed in the flexible sleeve;
• and
• wherein the upper portion is detachable from the lower portion via a line of perforations, thereby forming a decorative plant cover which is substantially liquid impermeable.

A method of wrapping a potted plant and comprising the steps of:

• providing a potted plant comprising a flower pot and a floral grouping disposed in the flower pot, the flower pot having an upper end, a lower end and an outer peripheral surface;
• providing a substantially liquid impermeable plant package comprising:
• a first flexible sleeve having an outer surface, an inner surface, an upper end, a closed lower end, a sidewall, an inner retaining space into which the flower pot is disposable and which is accessible through the upper end thereof, and having a height which extends between the upper end and the lower end thereof and being tapered from the closed lower end toward a larger diameter at the upper end thereof such that when the flower pot is disposed in the inner retaining space of the first flexible sleeve, the first flexible sleeve is substantially adjacent to and substantially surrounds and encompasses the flower pot, wherein the first flexible sleeve has seals formed in the sidewall and closed lower end thereof;
• a second flexible sleeve having an outer surface, an inner surface, an upper end, a closed lower end, a sidewall, an inner retaining space into which the first flexible sleeve is disposable and which is accessible through the upper end thereof, and having a height which extends between the upper end and the lower end thereof and being tapered from the closed lower end toward a larger diameter at the upper end thereof, wherein the flexible sleeve has seals formed in the sidewall and closed lower end thereof;
• wherein the first flexible sleeve is disposed within the inner retaining space of the second flexible sleeve such that the closed lower end of the first flexible sleeve is substantially adjacent to the closed lower end of the second flexible sleeve, thereby forming a plant package having at least a portion of which is multilayered;
• and
• wherein at least one of the first and second flexible sleeves is formed of a substantially liquid impermeable material and the seals in the sidewall and closed lower end thereof are substantially liquid impermeable, thereby forming a substantially liquid impermeable plant package;
• opening the substantially liquid impermeable plant package and placing the potted plant within the inner retaining space of the plant package wherein the plant package is substantially adjacent to and substantially surrounds and encompasses the flower pot.

A substantially liquid impermeable plant package for a potted plant, the potted plant comprising a flower pot having an upper end and an outer peripheral surface and a floral grouping disposed in the flower pot, the substantially liquid impermeable plant package comprising:

• a first flexible sleeve having an outer surface, an inner surface, an upper end, a closed lower end, a sidewall, an inner retaining space into which the flower pot is disposable and which is accessible through the upper end thereof, and having a height which extends between the upper end and the lower end thereof and being tapered from the closed lower end toward a larger diameter at the upper end thereof such that when the flower pot is disposed in the inner retaining space of the first flexible sleeve, the first flexible sleeve is substantially adjacent to and substantially surrounds and encompasses the flower pot, the first flexible sleeve having seals formed in the sidewall and closed lower end thereof;
• a second flexible sleeve having an outer surface, an inner surface, an upper end, a closed lower end, a sidewall, an inner retaining space into which the first flexible sleeve is disposable and which is accessible through the upper end thereof, and having a height which extends between the upper end and the lower end thereof and being tapered from the closed lower end toward a larger diameter at the upper end thereof, the second flexible sleeve having seals formed in the sidewall and closed lower end thereof;
• wherein the first flexible sleeve is disposed within the inner retaining space of the second flexible sleeve such that the closed lower end of the first flexible sleeve is substantially adjacent to the closed lower end of the second flexible sleeve, thereby forming a plant package having at least a portion of which is multilayered;
• and
• wherein at least one of the flexible sleeves is constructed of a material which is substantially liquid impermeable and the seals in the sidewall and closed lower end of such sleeve are substantially liquid impermeable, thereby forming a substantially liquid impermeable plant package.
