FAQs
What size hanging basket is this liner for?
This liner is specifically designed for 50cm diameter hanging baskets and hayracks.
How does the 'WaterSave' layer work?
The 'WaterSave' layer acts like a sponge, absorbing and retaining excess water to create a reservoir that slowly releases moisture to the plant roots as needed.
Will this liner prevent my plants from getting root rot?
Yes, the integral overflow feature allows excess water to drain away, preventing the soil from becoming waterlogged and reducing the risk of root rot.
Is the coco fibre material safe for the environment?
Yes, the coco fibre is biodegradable and an eco-friendly choice, naturally breaking down over time.
How long will the liner last?
As a natural, biodegradable product, the liner's lifespan depends on environmental conditions, but it is designed to last through at least one growing season.
Can I use this liner in a wall planter?
Yes, if the wall planter has a compatible diameter (around 50cm) and allows for drainage, this liner can be a suitable option.
Troubleshooting
Plant seems consistently too wet despite overflow
Ensure the overflow holes are not blocked by soil or debris. Check that the basket is not sitting in a saucer that collects water.
Liner is difficult to fit into the basket
Carefully trim the edges of the liner to achieve a snug fit. Ensure no part of the basket's structure is obstructing the liner's placement.
Soil is drying out much faster than expected
Check if the 'WaterSave' layer is properly situated and not compromised. Ensure the entire basket surface is covered by the liner.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

If necessary, carefully trim any excess material to ensure a neat fit.
Add your potting compost and plants as usual.
Compatibility:
Primarily designed for 50cm diameter hanging baskets and hayracks.
Can be used in compatible wall planters of a similar size.

Care:
