Full details
The Ambassador Willow Plant Hanging Basket is an ideal choice for home gardeners and interior decorators looking to add a natural, rustic aesthetic to their living spaces or patios. This 14-inch basket provides excellent versatility for displaying flowers and herbs, featuring a sturdy chain for reliable suspension and a flat base for easier potting. While its dark, natural willow construction offers a beautiful look, users should be mindful that like all organic material, the basket may require protection from extreme, long-term weather exposure to prevent natural degradation over several years.

FAQs
Does the basket come with the plants?
No, the basket is sold as the housing unit only, including the liner and chain.
Can I use this basket indoors?
Yes, the basket is suitable for indoor use, though you should ensure the liner is intact to prevent moisture from reaching furniture.
How much weight can the chain hold?
The chain is designed to hold the weight of a standard 14-inch basket filled with soil and plants. Avoid exceeding the basket's capacity with excessively heavy decorative rocks.
What is the diameter of the basket?
The basket measures 14 inches in diameter.
Is the liner replaceable?
Yes, you can use standard 14-inch replacement liners once the original wears out.
Will the willow rot if left outside?
While durable, willow is a natural material. To maximize longevity, we recommend moving it to a sheltered area during heavy rain or freezing conditions.
Troubleshooting
Basket appears unstable while filling
Ensure the basket is placed on a completely level surface. The flat base is designed to provide stability, but uneven ground can still cause tipping.
Water leaking from the bottom
Check that the liner is positioned correctly. If drainage is excessive, ensure the liner covers the sides thoroughly, or adjust watering frequency to prevent saturation.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your basket, place it on a flat surface, insert your desired soil and plants into the included liner, and secure the hanging chain to a rated ceiling hook or wall bracket. Ensure your mounting point can support the weight of the basket plus the weight of wet soil. For care, avoid over-saturating the willow in standing water. During harsh winter months, moving the basket indoors or to a covered area will significantly extend the lifespan of the natural willow materials.
