FAQs

What is the diameter of the basket?

The basket has a diameter of 35cm.

Does it come with a liner?

No, this basket does not include a liner. A separate liner is recommended for optimal soil and moisture retention.

How much weight can it hold?

While specific weight limits are not provided, the durable wire construction is designed to hold a substantial amount of soil and mature plants. Ensure your hanging support is adequately rated.

Can I use this basket indoors?

This basket is designed for outdoor use. Using it indoors may lead to water damage on surfaces if not properly managed with a drip tray, and prolonged indoor humidity could affect the wire's finish.

What type of plants are best suited for this basket?

It's suitable for a wide variety of flowering annuals, perennials, trailing vines, and even small shrubs, depending on the size and growth habit.

How do I prevent rust?

Good drainage, periodic rinsing, and avoiding prolonged contact with standing water can help. For extra protection in wet climates, a rust-inhibiting sealant can be applied.

Troubleshooting

Basket appears to be rusting

Gently scrub affected areas with a wire brush. Consider applying a rust-inhibiting sealant, especially if the basket is in a consistently damp environment.

Plants are not thriving

Ensure the basket is receiving adequate sunlight and water. Check that the potting mix is appropriate and drains well. Consider adding a liner to help retain moisture if the soil dries out too quickly.

Chain seems weak

Verify the weight of the soil and plants does not exceed the basket's capacity. Ensure the hanging point is secure and suitable for the total weight.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a strong and reliable structure for hanging plants.
  • The classic design is versatile and visually appealing.
  • Sufficient size to support substantial plant growth.

Cons

  • Does not include a liner, which may be preferred by some gardeners to retain moisture and soil.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure you have a secure hook or bracket capable of supporting the weight of the basket when filled with soil and plants.
  2. Attach the pre-connected chain to your chosen hanging point.
  3. Line the basket with a suitable liner (e.g., coir liner, moss, or burlap) if desired, to help retain moisture and soil.
  4. Fill the lined basket with your preferred potting mix.
  5. Plant your chosen flowers, herbs, or foliage.
  6. Water thoroughly.

Compatibility:

This basket is compatible with most standard plant liners and potting mixes. It is designed for outdoor use and can be hung from ceilings, eaves, pergolas, or sturdy brackets.

Care:

To maintain its appearance and longevity, rinse the basket periodically. If rust spots appear, they can be gently scrubbed with a wire brush. For prolonged life in very damp conditions, consider applying a rust-inhibiting sealant annually. Ensure good drainage to minimize moisture retention on the wire.
