FAQs
What type of plants are best suited for this basket?
This basket is ideal for trailing plants such as petunias, ivy, fuchsias, lobelia, or trailing tomatoes. It can also be used for herbs and smaller flowering plants.
Does the basket come with mounting hardware?
No, the mounting hardware (screws, hooks, brackets) is not included with the basket. You will need to provide hardware suitable for your wall or fence type.
What is the material of the basket?
The basket is constructed from durable wire with a classic black finish.
Can I use this basket indoors?
While designed for outdoor use, it can be used indoors if placed on a waterproof surface and a drip tray is used to protect furniture.
How do I clean the basket?
Wipe the basket clean with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, a mild soap and water solution can be used, followed by rinsing and drying.
What is the weight capacity of the basket?
The weight capacity depends on the mounting hardware used and the strength of the surface it is attached to. Ensure both are adequate for the weight of the basket when filled with soil and a mature plant.
Troubleshooting
Basket seems unstable after mounting
Check that all mounting hardware is securely fastened and appropriate for the wall material. Ensure the basket is level before final tightening.
Plants are not draining well
Ensure you have used a suitable liner (like coco coir or mesh) that allows for drainage, or consider adding a layer of gravel at the bottom of the basket before adding soil.
Wire is showing signs of rust
Clean the affected area with a soft brush and apply a rust-inhibiting sealant or outdoor-safe paint. Consider applying a protective coating annually to prevent future rust.
