Plant protector

A plant protector for protecting at least one plant growing in soil in a flower pot comprising a relatively flat disc-like cover having an upper surface, a lower surface and outer edges, said cover defining an interior hole through which the plant may pass, the outer periphery of said cover having a shape corresponding to the interior dimensions of the flower pot so that it can fit within the flower pot unsupported by the upper rim of the pot, the outer edges of said cover having an inward taper shape in the direction toward the lower surface such that the cover may be wedged in the pot in a friction-tight manner, at least one cut being provided in the cover from the interior hole to the outer edge so that the cover may be opened from the outer edge to the hole and passed about or removed from the plant, and fastening means provided along said cut for locking together the segments of the cover on opposite sides of the cut, said fastening means including a tongue-and-groove connection formed by the cut.
