Care & Maintenance

Because hanging baskets are so easy to care for, they are great for both beginners and seasoned gardeners. There are a few things to remember about your hanging basket, however.

1. Keep in mind the location you'll be placing your basket, and consider the amount of natural direct sunlight it gets. There are different types of plants for different light conditions. It's also a good idea to look at what time of day is the brightest since morning sun and afternoon sun are different in intensity.

2. The most important thing to remember is that, like people, plants need water to survive. This is certainly true for your hanging basket. When you bring the basket home, it should be watered just about every day. A good way to tell if it needs water is to stick your finger into the soil about an inch - it should feel cool and moist. If it does not, the plant needs water. If watering is necessary, a general rule is to water until you see excess water draining out the bottom of the pot.

3. Again, just like people, plants require nutrients to thrive. Our baskets are raised on a regular regiment of fertilizer, and it's important that when you get your basket home, you do the same. The best products are water-soluble fertilizers high in phosphorus (the middle number on the package). We recommend applying Plant Food once a week to keep plants looking their best.
