How to Prepare & Plant a Hanging Basket

1. Select the correct type and size of basket
   • e.g. a Wire frame, Rattan or Wicker material
   • a 30, 35 or 40cm (12, 14 or 16")
2. Use a Moss Basket Liner to retain soil. Combine with a Water Retaining Mat to minimise the need for watering
3. Choose a good quality compost and mix in a slow-release fertiliser prior to filling the basket.

How to Plant & Where to Hang your Basket

1. Select healthy plants which are flowering or close to flowering
2. Plant the large plants first and then sow smaller plants
3. Plant trailing plants around the edge of the basket
4. Pick a location that maximises the impact of the basket - but try to avoid a full sun or full shade locations
5. Make sure the Wall bracket and bolts are strong enough to support the basket

FINAL NOTE: Water regularly (daily if necessary) - ideally using a long reach water wand - for easy and effective watering
