Hanging Planter

time, prevent frustration, and best of all, save money. Follow these
tips for choosing the best planter:
- Decide what the container will hold. Large displays require
large baskets.
- Determine the location. Choose a stable structure that can
hold the weight of the planted basket.
- Choose a style. The style you settle on will depend on the
following:
- The plant(s) that will reside in the container.
- The location you choose for the container.
- The design and style of your garden, landscape, or home.

Caring for Hanging Plant
Containers
Caring for planters properly will keep plants healthy and
ensure the container lasts as long as possible.
- When planting these containers, choose plants with similar
care and growing requirements.
- Be sure to water and fertilize frequently. Water drains out
of the bottom of the basket, taking some of the nutrients with it.
- For wire baskets, use natural fiber liners (coco, coir, or
moss). Add a plastic liner inside the natural liner. Remember to poke
holes for drainage.
- When planted, hanging plant containers are heavy. Before
you hang the basket, be sure the structure can hold the weight.
