Method of using a conical floral sleeve

A method of covering a pot having an outer peripheral surface, a bottom and an upper rim, comprising the steps of:

• providing a preformed flexible sleeve comprising a closed lower end, a first panel, a second panel, a first side and a second side and having a conical shape with an angle between the first side and the second side wherein the angle is less than 90° or the preformed flexible sleeve having a frustoconical shape which is tapered from the upper end to a truncated closed lower end and having an imaginary angle of less than 90°, said preformed flexible sleeve sized to cover the pot and the performed flexible sleeve having a non-linear upper edge;
• disposing the pot within the preformed flexible sleeve, wherein a portion of the inner peripheral surface of the preformed flexible sleeve is positioned adjacent the pot;
• securing the preformed flexible sleeve to the outer peripheral surface of the pot via a banding element such that the preformed flexible sleeve surrounds and encompasses the outer peripheral surface of the pot;
• and
• wherein said portion of the inner peripheral surface of the preformed flexible sleeve is positioned about the pot such that the preformed flexible sleeve is secured about the pot.
