How Do You Ensure Plants In Hanging Baskets Look Great?
Plants that are required to grow in hanging baskets really are being asked to perform in unique situations as the environment within a hanging basket isn’t quite like anywhere else you might put your plants. For example, the area allowed for root growth is a lot smaller than anywhere else, even pots, as pots tend to only have one or two plants of the same type in them, whereas baskets tend to have a lot of different types of plant all thrown together in a small space. After watering the soil they are in and therefore the roots dry out a lot quicker than anywhere else too as the whole area is exposed to the air. Because of these unique situations it is very important that you start out with good quality plants. If you haven’t reared them yourself in the greenhouse then this means ensuring you buy healthy plants from the garden centre. If you have the smallest suspicion that the plant is diseased then don’t buy it. You also need to ensure you are using a good quality growing medium too.
