With a little care, hanging baskets can last well into the fall. Here are a few tips on caring for your hanging baskets.
1. Watering - Hanging baskets and containers can dry out very quickly depending on the weather. On a warm sunny day (or a windy day) you may have to water more than once. On cloudy days you may not have to water at all! One way to know if your baskets are dry, is to lift them up from the bottom of the container. Dry baskets will be very light weight and should be watered at once. Learn to feel the difference between a watered basket and a dry one. When you water, water enough so that it drains out of the drainage holes. Then, let your basket become relatively light again before thoroughly watering it the next time. Most hanging baskets also don't like to be “soaked” all the time. Don’t leave them out in long rains.
2. Fertilizing - Frequent watering (or rain!) flushes nutrients from the soil rather quickly. Regular fertilizing will help replenish that which is lost. Two different fertilizers can be used: liquid or timed-release. Liquid fertilizers are applied biweekly throughout the growing season. They are fast acting. Timed-release fertilizers are applied to the soil, and are released over time. They can last up to several months, depending on the fertilizer. Before you fertilize, it is important that the soil is moist. Do not fertilize a wilted plant and be sure to follow all labeled instructions on fertilizer applied to hanging baskets. Too much fertilizer can kill a plant too!
3. Dead-heading - It is important to remove all faded flowers after they have bloomed. This is known as dead-heading. Removal of spent blooms will promote additional flowers to form. Some plants, such as verbena, benefit from cutting them back in mid summer. This will help promote further branching and flower formation.
4. Ask for help! Please feel free to ask us for help to insure that you will enjoy your plant as long as possible!
