Below are some easy tips and tricks on how to keep your basket looking healthy and great all summer long and right into the fall.
- Water! Never let the baskets wilt. In the hot summer, baskets need to be watered at least once a day. When watering, water thoroughly until water runs through the bottom of the basket. Try not to over water baskets. On cloudy days a basket will be okay to dry out slightly but not wilting.
- Sun! Hang baskets in sun to part sun. Do not hang baskets on North Side of a building. Try to keep them away from a windy area as well.
- Fertilize! The more the baskets are fertilized the better they will flower and perform. Ideally, they should be fertilized at least once a week and preferably more often. Fertilize with an all purpose liquid fertilizer at full strength.
