FAQs
What kind of plants are best for these hanging baskets?
Trailing plants such as petunias, verbena, ivy geraniums, and lobelia are excellent choices for Garden Gear hanging baskets. Consider plants with similar light and water requirements.
How often should I water my hanging basket?
Watering frequency depends on the plant type, weather, and location. As a general rule, water when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. In hot weather, you may need to water daily.
How do I clean the metal frame?
Wipe the metal frame with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage the finish. For rust, consider using a rust remover specifically designed for metal.
What is the lifespan of the coco fibre liner?
The coco fibre liner typically lasts for one growing season, but can last longer depending on the care and environment. Replace it when it starts to break down or loses its shape.
Can I use a different type of liner?
While the included coco fibre liner is recommended for its drainage properties, you can experiment with other liners, such as moss or fabric liners. Ensure the new liner provides adequate drainage to prevent root rot.
How do I protect my plants from pests?
Regularly inspect your plants for signs of pests or diseases. Use insecticidal soap or other appropriate treatments as needed. Proper watering and sunlight can also help your plants to resist pests.
Can I use these baskets indoors?
While primarily designed for outdoor use, you can use these baskets indoors, provided the environment meets the plants needs. Place a tray underneath to catch any excess water.
Troubleshooting
Basket is unstable or tilting.
Ensure the hanging mechanism (hook, bracket) is securely fastened and can support the weight of the basket and plants. Check the weight distribution within the basket, and adjust as needed to balance it.
Plants are wilting or drying out.
Check the watering schedule, and ensure the soil is consistently moist, especially during hot weather. If the plant is getting too much direct sunlight, consider moving the basket to a shadier location. Also, make sure the drainage is working, and the basket isn't waterlogged.
Coco liner deteriorating too quickly.
Ensure the liner is not exposed to excessive moisture or direct contact with the ground, which can accelerate decomposition. Replace the liner as needed, typically once per year or as it starts to break down.
