Product Information
Full details
These YouGarden Calista Hanging Baskets are ideal for gardeners looking to add a touch of classic, rustic charm to their outdoor or indoor spaces, perfect for displaying bedding plants, trailing houseplants, or herbs. Their primary benefit is offering a durable, weather-resistant design with an aged-effect finish that complements various garden styles. A minor consideration is that the rust-effect is a light grey, which might differ from expectations of a deep rust color. This set includes two 25cm (10in) hanging baskets, featuring hand-finished details and color-matched clip-on hangers for versatile use as either pots or baskets.

Troubleshooting
Hangers feel loose
Ensure the clip-on hangers are fully secured to the basket rim. Check for any obstructions preventing a proper fit.
Basket fading over time
While UV stable, prolonged extreme sun exposure can eventually impact any material. Ensure the basket is not in constant, direct, intense sunlight for maximum longevity, or consider rotating its position.
Water pooling at the bottom
Ensure your potting mix provides adequate drainage and consider adding a layer of gravel or perlite at the base of the basket before adding soil.
