FAQs

What material is the basket made from?

The basket is made from natural willow weave and rattan, providing a rustic appearance.

How should I hang this basket?

It should be hung from a secure hook or bracket attached to a wall, fence, or sturdy railing. Ensure the hanging point can support the weight of the basket when filled.

Does the basket come with a liner?

Typically, hanging baskets do not come with a liner. It is recommended to use a coir liner or a plastic liner with drainage holes to help retain soil and moisture while allowing excess water to escape.

What kind of plants are best suited for this basket?

This basket is ideal for flowers, trailing plants, and seasonal arrangements. Its shape and depth accommodate a good volume of soil for most common flowering plants.

How do I clean the basket?

Clean the basket using a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing which could damage the natural materials.

Can this basket be left outside in winter?

While durable, it's recommended to protect natural materials from extreme weather. Consider bringing the basket indoors or covering it during harsh winter conditions to prolong its lifespan.

What is the diameter of the basket?

The diameter of the basket is 40cm.

Troubleshooting

Basket weave appears loose

Gently tighten any loose strands if possible. For significant looseness, consider reinforcing the interior with additional liner material or contacting the manufacturer for advice.

Water pooling inside the basket

Ensure your liner has adequate drainage holes or that the existing holes are not blocked. If using a plastic liner, poke a few small holes in the bottom.

Color fading due to sun exposure

To minimize fading, consider positioning the basket in a location with partial shade or apply a garden-safe sealant designed for natural materials, following product instructions.
