FAQs
What size are the YouGarden Rattan Hanging Baskets?
Each basket in this set has a diameter of 35cm.
Do I need to buy chains separately?
No, each basket comes with chains already fitted, ready for hanging.
Are the baskets waterproof?
The baskets are lined with polythene to help retain moisture, but the natural rattan exterior is not fully waterproof and may be affected by prolonged direct exposure to heavy rain.
What kind of plants can I grow in these baskets?
They are ideal for summer flowering plants, especially trailing varieties, as well as strawberries, herbs, and compact tomato plants.
How long will the natural rattan last?
The lifespan of natural rattan depends on environmental conditions. Regular care and optional winter storage can help prolong its life and appearance.
Can I plant directly into the basket without the liner?
While possible, the polythene liner is recommended to help retain compost and moisture, which is crucial for plant health in hanging baskets.
How often should I water the plants?
Watering frequency depends on weather and plant type. Check the soil moisture daily in hot weather; water thoroughly when the top inch feels dry.
Troubleshooting
Basket appears to be drying out too quickly
Ensure the polythene liner is intact. Water more frequently, checking the soil moisture daily in hot weather. Consider adding moisture-retaining crystals to the compost.
Chain feels insecure or rusted
Inspect the chain for damage. If rusted or weak, replace with a new, sturdy chain suitable for outdoor use. Ensure the hanging hook is also robust.
Plants are not thriving
Ensure the plants are suitable for hanging baskets and the specific light conditions. Check that the compost is fresh and provides adequate nutrients. Verify the watering schedule is appropriate for the plant's needs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Unpack the set of four rattan hanging baskets.
- Ensure the pre-fitted chains are securely attached.
- Fill the baskets with your chosen compost, leaving space for plants.
- Plant your selected flowers, herbs, or small vegetables.
- Water thoroughly after planting.
- Hang the baskets from suitable hooks or brackets using the attached chains.
Compatibility:
These baskets are compatible with standard garden hanging hooks and brackets. They are suitable for a wide range of plants including annuals, perennials, trailing varieties, strawberries, and compact tomato or herb plants. Ensure the hanging point is strong enough to support the weight of the basket, compost, plants, and water.
Care:
- Watering: Check the moisture level regularly, especially during warm weather. The polythene liner helps retain moisture, but natural materials can dry out. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry.
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the rattan with a damp cloth to remove dust or light soiling. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners.
- Winter Storage (Optional): For extended longevity, especially in regions with harsh winters, consider bringing the baskets indoors or storing them in a sheltered location during the colder months. This will help preserve the natural rattan material.
