Pro Tips For Amazing Hanging Flower Baskets

Tips for hanging flower baskets

  • Soil is really important – make sure to choose high quality potting mix and also add water holding polymer crystals.
  • Make sure to water them well – hanging baskets need to be watered often, some of them even every night, because they leach all the nutrients out of the soil faster than regular planters.
  • Choose the right plants for your outdoors. Different plants grow well in different areas and under different weather conditions, so make sure to find the right one for your yard.

And of course, you can either choose if your hanging basket will contain just a single plant to make a mass statement, or maybe you can play with textures and colors, by combing 3-5 different plants. Vibrant colors will attract more attention, while subdued colors will allow the basket to add to the gardenscape.
