Maintaining Your Hanging Baskets:

Maintaining your hanging basket fall into three categories: water, fertilizer, and maintenance.

Water:

Watering is key to maintaining a hanging basket, or any container plant.  Keeping the soil too wet will result in root rot, keeping the soil it too dry the plant wilts and dies.  Here are the rules of thumb for watering hanging baskets:

1. Make sure your pot has drainage holes
2. Water only when the top of the soil is dry
3. Water until water comes out of the drainage holes
4. Don’t allow your pot to sit in standing water
5. During hot weather you may have to water twice a day

 

Fertilizer

Container plants only get nutrition if you provide it to them.  After watering, fertilizer is the most important thing to keep your plants looking good.  Adding a slow or controlled-release fertilizer to your hanging basket right after you buy or plant it will help keep them healthy.  This will provide your basket with a good constant dose of fertilizer.

Maintenance

There are two other things you may want to do to help maintain your basket.  First, some plants may need deadheading.

Second you may want to do is a midsummer trim.  Hanging baskets can become a bit stretched or open looking over time, even when you are doing everything right.  If this happens, I give your baskets a "haircut" in mid to late summer.  This simply means I take a sharp pair of scissors or shears and trim a few inches off the entire basket, like when you get your hair trimmed.
