The containers for plants and the like have different shapes, an open top to facilitate irrigation and material supply; a base that includes one or more holes to facilitate proper water drainage and to ensure ventilation for the rooting apparatus. An inconvenience of these containers is related to their placement in outdoor environments without roofs: in the presence of "unfavorable" climatic conditions, excessive exposure to rain water rather than excessive exposure to the sun, these containers expose plants to a series of problems. The covering device for pots is available in different sizes and shapes, and is composed of two elements: half-cover one and half-cover two with a stiffness and a thickness such as to support the weight of rain and a slope such as to facilitate the flow of water downwards. The two elements are locked around the stem of the plant and have on the top two fins that slide on each other, on guide channels, for the opening/closing of the device.
The device is easily adaptable to pots on the market without the need to disrupt existing production lines; the application or removal is not invasive for plants because it adapts to their stems; it allows plants to maintain the right hydration of the soil in case of excessive exposure to the sun; avoids the leakage of soil in case there is excessive exposure to adverse weather phenomena such as rain or wind, with the consequent loss of nutrients essential for growth; avoids the excessive introduction of water in case of heavy rains and the consequent stagnation that could rot both the stem and the leaves.
