This 1200mm x 150m Bubble Wrap Roll provides a simple and versatile way to add insulation around plant pots, containers, greenhouse areas and other vulnerable items during colder weather. The air-filled bubble structure creates an insulating layer that helps reduce heat loss and provides useful protection during winter.

With a generous 1.2m width and 150m roll length, it is particularly well suited to nurseries, garden centres, commercial growers and gardeners requiring a larger quantity of insulation material for seasonal use.

Bubble wrap is especially useful for insulating pots and containers. Container-grown plants can be more vulnerable to cold because their roots do not benefit from the same insulation as plants growing directly in the ground. Wrapping the outside of suitable containers adds another insulating layer around the root zone.

Why use bubble wrap for winter plant protection?

  • Useful thermal insulation - trapped air within the bubbles helps create an insulating barrier.
  • Ideal for plant pots and containers - helps provide additional insulation around vulnerable root zones.
  • Suitable for greenhouse insulation - can be used as part of a seasonal greenhouse heat-retention strategy.
  • Large 1200mm width - provides useful coverage for larger areas and containers.
  • 150m roll - economical format for nurseries, garden centres and larger winter protection projects.
  • Easy to cut to size - use only the amount required for each application.
  • Lightweight and flexible - easy to position around pots and suitable structures.
  • Multiple uses - also useful for general wrapping, cushioning and protection around the nursery, garden centre or warehouse.

Insulate plant pots & containers

Roots growing in containers can be exposed to greater temperature fluctuations than roots protected by the surrounding ground. This becomes particularly important with vulnerable plants, smaller containers and pots positioned in exposed areas.

Bubble wrap can be cut to size and wrapped around the outside of the plant container, adding an insulating layer between the pot and cold surrounding air.

It is particularly useful around decorative pots and containers that cannot easily be moved into a protected environment for winter. The plant itself can then be protected separately with a suitable breathable horticultural fleece where required.

Bubble wrap for greenhouse insulation

Bubble wrap is commonly used during winter as an additional insulating layer in greenhouses and other protected growing structures. The trapped air within the material helps reduce heat transfer, which can assist with retaining warmth during colder periods.

For greenhouse applications, the material should be fitted securely using suitable fixings for the structure. Ventilation must still be managed appropriately, particularly during sunny or milder weather when temperatures and humidity can rise quickly.

The amount of insulation required will depend on the greenhouse construction, local conditions, crops being protected and whether supplementary heating is being used.

Using bubble wrap alongside horticultural fleece

Bubble wrap and horticultural fleece perform different roles and can be particularly useful when used together.

Bubble wrap is best suited to insulating pots, containers and structures, while breathable horticultural fleece is generally the more appropriate material for covering plant foliage.

For a vulnerable container plant, for example, bubble wrap can be placed around the outside of the pot to provide additional root-zone insulation while fleece is used around the foliage to provide protection from cold weather.

150m roll for commercial & larger-scale use

At 150 metres long, this roll provides a substantial quantity of bubble wrap for professional growers, nurseries and garden centres preparing larger numbers of plants for winter.

The 1200mm width provides good coverage while the continuous roll can be cut according to each application, helping minimise unnecessary joins and allowing the material to be adapted to different pot and structure sizes.

Outside the growing area, any remaining material can also be used for general protective wrapping and cushioning of suitable goods.

Bubble Wrap for Plant & Greenhouse Insulation FAQs

Can bubble wrap be used to protect plants from frost?

Bubble wrap is particularly useful for insulating pots and containers, helping provide an additional barrier around vulnerable root zones. Breathable horticultural fleece is generally more suitable for directly covering plant foliage.

Can I wrap bubble wrap around plant pots?

Yes. Wrapping the outside of containers is a common winter protection technique, particularly for plants whose roots may be vulnerable to low temperatures.

Can this bubble wrap be used in a greenhouse?

Yes. Bubble wrap can be installed as an additional insulating layer in suitable greenhouse structures to help reduce heat loss during colder periods.

Should bubble wrap touch plant leaves?

For foliage protection, a breathable horticultural fleece is generally preferable. Bubble wrap is better used around containers or as structural insulation rather than tightly wrapping living foliage.

How wide is this bubble wrap roll?

The roll is 1200mm wide, equivalent to 1.2 metres.

How much bubble wrap is supplied?

The roll measures 1.2m x 150m, providing a total nominal sheet area of 180m².

Can I cut the bubble wrap to size?

Yes. The continuous roll can be cut to the required length, making it suitable for different pot sizes and insulation projects.

Is bubble wrap a replacement for horticultural fleece?

Not necessarily. The two materials are useful for different purposes. Bubble wrap is particularly effective for insulating containers and structures, while breathable fleece is better suited to protecting plant foliage.

Can this roll be used for normal packaging?

Yes. In addition to horticultural insulation, bubble wrap can be used for general protective wrapping and cushioning of suitable items during handling, storage or transport.
