Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Unpack the set of four rattan hanging baskets.
- Ensure the pre-fitted chains are securely attached.
- Fill the baskets with your chosen compost, leaving space for plants.
- Plant your selected flowers, herbs, or small vegetables.
- Water thoroughly after planting.
- Hang the baskets from suitable hooks or brackets using the attached chains.
Compatibility:
These baskets are compatible with standard garden hanging hooks and brackets. They are suitable for a wide range of plants including annuals, perennials, trailing varieties, strawberries, and compact tomato or herb plants. Ensure the hanging point is strong enough to support the weight of the basket, compost, plants, and water.
Care:
- Watering: Check the moisture level regularly, especially during warm weather. The polythene liner helps retain moisture, but natural materials can dry out. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry.
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the rattan with a damp cloth to remove dust or light soiling. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners.
- Winter Storage (Optional): For extended longevity, especially in regions with harsh winters, consider bringing the baskets indoors or storing them in a sheltered location during the colder months. This will help preserve the natural rattan material.
