• opening the floral sleeve to expose the interior space;
• and
• disposing a pot or floral grouping within the interior space to form a covered pot or covered floral grouping wherein the lower bottom surface of the bottom of the floral sleeve is flat when the pot is disposed within the floral sleeve, and wherein the bottom of the floral sleeve is substantially concealed by a lower portion of the sidewall of the floral sleeve.
