Troubleshooting
Basket appears to be rusting
Ensure the powder coating is intact. Minor surface rust on edges where coating may be thin can sometimes occur; gently clean and consider a touch-up paint if significant.
Plants are not thriving
Check compost moisture levels, as hanging baskets can dry out quickly. Ensure adequate watering and consider adding slow-release fertilizer. Verify the plant is suitable for the light conditions.
Hanging support feels unstable
Immediately remove the basket and reassess the strength and suitability of the hanging point. Do not overload hooks or brackets.
