2. Go with Small Plants First
Instead of growing large plants at the first try, go with small ones early in the season and grow them in slightly large containers. Impatiens and Verbena are some ideal flowering plants you can start easily in hanging baskets.
3. Fertilize the Right Way
Plants in hanging baskets have access to limited soil for healthy growth. That’s why it is necessary to fertilize them frequently with a slow-release fertilizer. Make sure to keep the dose limited, else it will overgrow the plants.
4. Water Regularly
Inconsistent watering will make your plants go weak, resulting in poor growth. For hanging baskets, it is best to practice to water only when the soil surface feels dry on touch. Avoid overwatering.
5. Do a Regular Maintenance
Doing regular maintenance tasks like trimming and deadheading will keep the flowers hanging baskets flourishing with colors throughout the year.
