Plastic Hanging Baskets NZ - Wilson Garden

What month do you put hanging baskets out?

You should wait until after the danger of frost has passed. Generally speaking, you're safe in early April and beyond. If your plants need cold treatment before they can flower well, then you'll have to wait until they've had this treatment before putting them out.

Otherwise they may just get killed off by the cold weather. You can also put out new plants in late winter or early spring if you have a sheltered location where they won't freeze over winter.

How long do hanging baskets last?

The lifespan of a hanging basket depends on how often you water it and how much sun it gets. But most will last about two seasons if taken care of properly. If you live in an area that gets mild winters or if you want them around longer than two years, you should get away with overwintering your basket indoors. You can also replace them every year if desired or necessary.

Do I need to put holes in plastic hanging baskets?

If you want to plant directly inside the plastic hanging baskets and keep them alive all season long, then you need to put holes in it. If you want to just fill the plastic hanging baskets with soil and grow plants in pots or trays underneath, then you don't need to put holes in it.

If you want to create a beautiful display, you can use plastic hanging baskets instead of traditional clay or ceramic pots. Plastic is lighter weight than clay pots and won't break if you accidentally bump into them. Plastic hanging baskets are easier to move around without having to worry about tipping over like clay pots do when filled with soil and plants!

Plastic hanging baskets are not just for hanging from the ceiling; they also look great on walls or in planters. Plastic hanging baskets are long lasting and very easy to look after. You can use plastic hanging baskets indoors or outdoors.

What are good flowers for hanging baskets NZ?

Geraniums are one of the most popular flowers for hanging baskets. Geraniums are also known as zonal geraniums or cranesbill geraniums. They have a long flowering period and will flower even when they are starting to look bad. They also have dwarf varieties which are perfect for small spaces.

They produce fragrant flowers with different colors such as pink, red and white throughout the summer months. They require full sun exposure with well-drained soil with lots of organic matter added into it before planting them in your hanging basket.

Fuchsias have brightly colored flowers that bloom all summer long. Their size rang from six inches tall to two feet tall. Fuchsias need full sun exposure and moderate water levels. The leaves of fuchsias tend to curl when they receive too much sun or too little water and are susceptible to powdery mildew.

Petunias are another easy-care plant that can be found in just about any color imaginable. They also bloom all summer long, which makes them great for hanging baskets where other plants might not last as long.

How do you keep plastic hanging baskets from drying out?

Plastic hanging baskets are perfect for adding color and texture to a space. They're easy to care for and relatively inexpensive. But the biggest problem with hanging baskets is keeping them hydrated. The plants in your basket will dry out quickly without water, which will kill them or at least severely damage their ability to photosynthesize.

Water the plant regularly. Hanging baskets dry out quickly, so watering is important. Water your plastic hanging baskets at least twice a week and more often in hot weather. Use warm water if possible because it will keep the roots warmer longer.

Fertilize regularly with liquid fertilizer. Fertilizing will help keep your hanging basket plants green and growing well through the season. Add liquid fertilizer once a week or as needed according to package directions. If you're using granular fertilizer, apply it once or twice during the growing season according to package directions as well.
