First Aid for a Dried Out Hanging
Basket
By Jackie Carroll
Let's face it: Our houseplants aren't the most important things on our
to-do lists, and even the most attentive gardeners will sometimes
forget to water the hanging baskets. The good news is that unless the
plants are completely dead, they can usually be
revived.
Begin by clipping off dead flowers and browning leaves. See! It looks
better already. Now cut back yellowing stems and stems with a good many
yellowing leaves to encourage the plant to send out new shoots. If your
plant has trailing stems, you may have to detangle the stems first to
determine which are worth keeping.
If you're like me, you may find it hard to clip off buds that will be
opening soon, so use your own judgment to determine if this is
necessary. A plant with a lot of damage will have more trouble
recovering if it's trying to support buds during the recovery period,
and the buds may eventually fall off without opening anyway. If the
damage is mild, leave the buds that are on undamaged stems in
place.
Watering a dried out basket can be difficult. You may find that as you
pour water into the basket it simply runs out without wetting the soil.
The best way to overcome this is to run a pan of tepid water, and add a
drop or two of dishwashing liquid. The dishwashing liquid acts as a
wetting agent and allows the water to soak into the soil. Set your
plant inside the pan of water and leave it for at least an hour, or
until the basket is saturated, and mist the plants a time or two while
they soak. If there are heavy chains or ropes attached to your basket,
support them with a stick so that they don't lay on top of your plants.
When the plants are dry, it doesn't take much weight to break the stems
and leaves.
At this point we want to do everything we can to help our plants get
back on their feet, but it's best to avoid feeding them for about five
days. This gives them time to overcome the shock before trying to send
out new shoots.
Watch your recovering plants closely for signs of insects or disease.
In their weakened state, they are more susceptible to pests and fungus,
and they should be treated right away if you suspect a problem. Before
you know it, your basket will be bursting with blooms
again.

Hanging
Baskets / Hanging Plants
Hooks and Lattice uses and carries coir liners for our hanging plants and
hanging baskets because they are superior to alternative liners such as peat
moss or other types of moss liners. Our
pressed coconut coir liners are natural, organic and environmentally safe as
well as long lasting and re-usable. In
fact the rich natural color of the coir liner will not fade over time.
These coir liners provide excellent drainage and aeration, which will
prevent root rot.
It is important to remember that hanging plants will be heavier after
they are watered so it is essential that you select a well-made hanging basket.
If the hanging basket is subject to the wind the quality of the basket is
even more important. The hanging
baskets at Hooks and Lattice are extremely sturdy and have been protected with
either a vinyl coating or an actual powder coat finish.
These protective coatings will help to ensure that you have a good
looking and strong hanging basket for seasons to come.
After selecting your preferred style of hanging basket or wall basket the next
step will be to choose your plants. Certain
plants will require only top planting to provide that long trailing look while
other plants will look best when they are planted in the sides of the basket as
well as the top. Consult your local
nursery for specific information regarding your preferred plants.
If you wish to include a variety of plant shapes in your hanging basket
then the trailing plants should be planted at the edges and the sides while the
upright plants should be placed in the center.
Keep in mind that small, young, healthy plants will adapt to their new
environment more quickly than older plants.
For the best looking and happiest plants you should keep in mind two important
words, water and fertilizer. Both
are important to the vitality of your plants.
Plants in hanging baskets require more frequent watering than plants in
your garden. This is primarily due
to water evaporating from the sides and the bottom of the basket in addition to
just the top of the soil. If the
potting mix feels dry 1” below the surface of the soil it is time to water.
Fertilizer is an important component to beautiful
plants.
Frequent watering flushes nutrients from the soil and thus
frequent
fertilizing is also required. However,
time-release fertilizers simplify this process and should be re-applied
as the
tablets disintegrate.
Your local
nursery can provide valuable information when you purchase the plants
that you
intend to use.
