Hanging baskets are a popular and cost-effective way to showcase plants in your garden. However, watering them incorrectly can lead to wilting, drying up, or even death. To ensure proper watering, check the soil daily, especially on hot days, and use water gel crystals and mulch when planting. Hanging basket water requirements are more defined than in-ground plants, as soil doesn’t harbor moisture and much of the soil is not moist.
To effectively water hanging baskets, use a watering wand to reach easily and ensure a gentle flow, thoroughly soaking the soil. Learn how to choose, plant, and maintain hanging basket flowers, as well as how to prevent common problems. Planting in old baskets is a charming and inexpensive way to show off your favorite plants.
Maintaining hanging baskets looks good with regular watering, drainage, and compost tips. Find out how often to water, what type of compost to use, and how to deadhead fading flowers. Hanging plants can add an interesting design element to a room or outdoor space by drawing the eye up and showcasing the plant.
Care for hanging plants indoors and outdoors is the same as growing them. Learn how much water your hanging baskets need, when to water them, and how to fertilize them for a beautiful summer display. Watering plants in pots should be done only when the top of the soil is dry, and aim to achieve a soil moisture deficit or “keep the glass half full” to ensure sufficient moisture for plants to grow.
