Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Unpack the hanging basket and check for all components (basket, chain, and S-hook).
- Place the coco liner inside the basket. This liner is crucial for water drainage and helps to keep the soil in place.
- Fill the basket with compost. Ensure you leave enough space for planting.
- Plant your chosen flowers or plants.
- Attach the chain to a sturdy support using the S-hook. Ensure the hook is secure before planting.
Compatibility:
The basket is compatible with most standard potting composts and a wide variety of plants including petunias, pansies, trailing ivy, and herbs. Ensure plants are suitable for hanging baskets and the local climate.
Care:
- Water plants regularly, especially during dry periods.
- Fertilize plants every few weeks to promote healthy growth.
- Remove any dead or yellowing leaves to maintain the basket's appearance.
- Clean the basket periodically with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris. Clean the chain and hook as needed.
- Protect the basket from extreme weather conditions, such as strong winds or heavy snow. Consider bringing it indoors during severe weather events.
