Hanging Baskets for Indoor Gardening

Why Wait? If it’s winter where you live and you just can’t wait to get your hands in some garden soil and enjoy the beauty of healthy green foilage, with colorful blossoms, you can plant an indoor garden.

It doesn’t have to be large. You can use a variety of containers for your indoor plants – like pots, planters, or hanging baskets.

Healthy looking plants growing in Baskets can add considerably to the decor of most any living area – and can be a lot of fun.

Start with the best and healthiest seeds or plants.

Choose good quality container mix too. There are proprietary hanging basket mixes that you really should use. They have been developed to provide the best growing conditions in these unique situations.

For the most pleasing appearance, you’ll probably want to get the basket looking as ‘full’ as possible.

Put the larger plants in the middle of the basket with smaller plants trailing out to the edges and the sides.

The larger the basket the better chance your plants will have to survive and they will also require less maintenance.

Proper watering is essential and with baskets, more care is required than normal.

Place a water trough between the plants and the liner to maintain a place to hold water that would normally seep through the liner.

A long watering wand makes reaching the plants easier.

Occasionally, where you have baskets that are easily moved, you can soak the entire basket in a tub of water. If the basket has been quite dry you will need to soak it until the bubbles stop rising.

Use quality liquid plant feed to ensure your plants are getting all the nutrients that they require.

Plants will also benefit from having their leaves cleaned. There can be a buildup of dust when growing indoors.

Take the time to give your basket plants the additional care that they need and you will be rewarded with a pleasant addition to any living area.
