A decorative cover for a plant container is constructed from a rectangular piece of stretchy fabric formed into a tube that slips over the container. The top and bottom ends of the tube are fitted with elastic members to control the size of the open ends of the tube and to ensure a snug, wrinkle free fit. For tapered containers the bottom end of the tube is drawn smaller that the top end of the tube to better fit the contour of the container. A slit along the sidewall and top of the tube opens the tube for easier insertion of the container. An invisible zipper closes the slit and a hook and eye fastener securely fastens the slit.
