FAQs

What are the dimensions of the 16" liner?

The Smart Garden Hanging Basket Coco Liner - 16" has approximate dimensions of 16 x 42 x 42 cm when laid flat, designed to fit a 16-inch diameter basket.

Are these liners compostable?

Yes, the liners are made from natural coco fibres and are fully compostable, making them an environmentally friendly choice for your garden.

How long do these liners typically last?

The lifespan of the liner depends on environmental conditions and plant care. Typically, they are expected to last for one full growing season. They are designed to be replaced annually.

Can I use these liners in indoor planters?

While primarily designed for hanging baskets, these liners can be used in non-hanging planters as well. However, ensure adequate drainage is provided for the planter.

What is the benefit of using a coco liner?

Coco liners help retain moisture, provide excellent aeration for plant roots, and are made from natural, compostable materials. They also offer a neat and tidy appearance for baskets.

Do I need to line my basket with anything else?

No, the pre-moulded coco liner is designed to be the sole lining for your basket. Simply fill it with soil and plant your desired flora.

How do I dispose of the old liner?

You can dispose of the old coco liner by adding it to your home compost bin or by discarding it with general garden waste. It will naturally decompose.

Troubleshooting

Liner does not fit basket snugly

Ensure you are using the correct size liner for your basket. Gently press the liner against the sides of the basket to help it conform. For wire baskets, you may need to gently bend the wire frame to better accommodate the liner's shape.

Soil feels too dry despite watering

The liner may be drying out too quickly due to extreme heat or wind. Ensure thorough watering until water drains from the bottom. Consider adding a layer of mulch on top of the soil to help retain moisture. Check that the liner is not damaged, allowing water to escape prematurely.

Liner appears to be degrading quickly

Natural fibre liners are compostable and will break down over time. This is expected. If degradation is occurring much faster than anticipated, ensure the plants are not being overwatered, as excessive moisture can accelerate the breakdown of natural materials. Replace the liner at the end of the growing season or sooner if necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Environmentally friendly and compostable material
  • Pre-moulded for easy installation
  • Promotes healthy root growth through moisture retention and aeration
  • Durable and long-lasting natural fibres
  • Reduces watering frequency

Cons

  • Available in fixed sizes only; may not fit all baskets perfectly
  • Can dry out if not adequately watered in very hot conditions

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Ensure your hanging basket is clean and free from debris.
  2. Select the appropriate sized Smart Garden Coco Liner for your basket (e.g., the 16" liner for a 16-inch basket).
  3. Carefully place the pre-moulded liner into the basket, pressing it gently against the sides to ensure a snug fit.
  4. Fill the liner with your desired potting soil and plant your flowers or plants as usual.

Compatibility:

  • Designed for use with standard hanging baskets and non-hanging baskets.
  • Available in 12", 14", and 16" sizes to accommodate a range of common basket dimensions.
  • Suitable for natural fibre, wire, or plastic baskets.

Care:

  • Water your plants regularly as needed. The liner will help retain moisture but does not eliminate the need for watering.
  • Monitor soil moisture levels, especially during hot or dry weather.
  • Over time, the natural fibres will degrade. Replace the liner annually or when it shows signs of wear for optimal plant health and basket appearance.
