Hotkaps are heavy wax paper domes formed on high speed equipment that come in two sizes (regular and king-size) to best fit a plant's growth.
Since Hotkaps are made from white opague, they provide diffused lighting around the plant. Once the threat of frost is gone Hotkaps still provide protection and help the plant grow stronger. Small openings slit into the paper provide circulation. Hotkaps create a barrier to insects and bugs such as cut worms. As the plant grows, the Hotkap is opened further still providing protection and helping to retain moisture for the plant. This protection helps the to develop a stronger base and a heartier stem and leaves. When the Hotkap is no longer needed, it can be removed and torn into pieces to be composted. Some customers, roll the Hotkap back and cover it with soil where it biodegrades.
In Southern growing regions, Hotkaps are used to protect tender plants from too much sun too early.
