FAQs
What is the main benefit of using this coco liner?
The primary benefit is its excellent water retention, which helps keep your plants hydrated and reduces the frequency of watering.
Do I need to cut the liner?
The liner is pre-shaped, but you may need to cut it slightly to fit the specific dimensions or shape of your hanging basket perfectly.
How long does the liner last?
As a natural material, coco liners are typically best suited for one growing season. They will gradually degrade over time.
Is this liner suitable for all types of plants?
Yes, it is suitable for a wide variety of plants commonly grown in hanging baskets, including flowers and trailing plants.
Can I compost the liner after use?
Yes, being made of natural coco fiber, the liner is biodegradable and can be added to your compost bin at the end of the season.
What does 'one size' mean for a 16-inch liner?
It refers to a liner designed to fit a standard 16-inch diameter hanging basket, though minor adjustments might be needed for non-standard designs.
Does the liner come with a basket?
No, this product is just the liner. The hanging basket itself is sold separately.
Troubleshooting
Liner does not fit perfectly
Gently trim the excess material from the top edges with scissors to achieve a snug fit.
Soil escapes from the sides
Ensure the liner is pressed firmly against the basket walls. If gaps persist, consider using a slightly larger liner or filling soil carefully around the edges.
Liner seems to dry out too quickly
While the liner retains water, extremely hot or windy conditions can accelerate drying. Ensure the liner is saturated thoroughly when watering and consider adding water-retaining crystals to the soil mix for extra moisture retention.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Unpack the pre-shaped liner. Gently place it inside your chosen hanging basket, ensuring it fits snugly against the sides. If necessary, use scissors to trim any excess material from the top edge for a neat appearance. Fill the liner with your preferred potting soil and plant as usual.
Compatibility: This liner is designed for 16-inch hanging baskets. While it's pre-shaped, some minor adjustments may be needed for baskets that vary slightly in shape or diameter. It is compatible with most standard wire or plastic hanging baskets.
Care: The liner is made from natural coco material and is intended for seasonal use. To care for it, ensure good drainage in your hanging basket. After the growing season, the liner can be removed and composted. For continued use, it is recommended to replace the liner annually or when it shows signs of significant degradation to maintain optimal plant support and moisture retention.
