Flower baskets cheer up your home with color and pretty blooms while adding dimension to your garden. Hanging a beautifully planted basket on the front door is a simple way to add a welcoming feel. Hanging baskets will bring visual interest and color to your garden walls and they’re perfect for framing your doorways with beautiful flowers.
Container gardening allows you to plant a variety of flowers, herbs, vegetables, trees, shrubs or ferns with limited space or adds mobility to plants in a larger garden. Nearly anything can be used as a planter, and each type of container has its own benefits and drawbacks. For larger plants and trees that you’re not planning to move, concrete pots could be a good option.
Tips for hanging flower baskets
Choosing the right pot is the most important step. If you want a hanging flower globe you will need a special one. It should be wire with a liner, or a pot with holes. It will allow you to plant flowers all over the container and achieve that full globe look.
- You should use high quality potting soil here. Choose one that is lightweight and won’t make the pot heavy. It is a smart idea to put some water holding polymer crystals, if your soil does not have them already. Invest in the best soil and you will end up with good looking flowers.
- Watering is very important, especially for the pots with fiber lining. You must not let your plants get completely dry. It is recommended to take them down once a week. Water them well and let the soil drain. If the weather is hot, then watering twice a day is the thing you should do.
- Choose the suitable type of plants for the spot you intend to place them. Is it a sun or shade? Make sure you make the right choice for your hanging pots. Also, include some colorful flowers that will bring visual interest.
- Hanging pots tend to loose the nutrients of the soil, because they are watered often. If you want healthy looking flowers, then add a granular fertilizer when you plant them. Despite that, use an ordinary fertilizer once a week too. This is so important if you want full blooms.
