Hanging baskets are notoriously difficult to water, as they are exposed to the elements and high winds. A recent RHS survey found that three-quarters of respondents wanted advice on how to water baskets and containers. To effectively water hanging baskets, use a watering wand to reach easily and ensure a gentle flow, thoroughly soaking the soil without eroding it. The’soak and dry’ method is useful for watering hanging baskets. In cooler weather or indoors, hanging baskets won’t dry out as quickly, but still need to be checked and kept moist.

To water hanging baskets, use a watering wand to reach easily and ensure a gentle flow, thoroughly soaking the soil without eroding it. Check the soil every day, especially on hot days, and use water gel crystals and mulch the soil when planting. The best time to water your hanging basket is in the morning, preferably between 5am and 9am, to ensure your plants have enough moisture. Self-watering and low dosed, manually watered baskets were the most efficient system in terms of the number of flowers produced per liter of water applied.
Add water until water runs out the bottom drainage hole of the planter, aiming to thoroughly soak the soil. These watering tips will help keep your plants looking great and ensure they are well-watered.
