FAQs
How do I cut the coco liner to size?
Use a sharp pair of scissors or a craft knife. Measure and mark the desired cut lines on the liner, then carefully cut along the marked lines. It's best to trim a little at a time and check the fit.
How often should I replace the coco liner?
The lifespan varies depending on environmental conditions and care, but generally, coco liners last one to two seasons. Replace when you notice significant degradation, thinning, or damage.
Can this liner be used indoors?
While primarily designed for outdoor use, it can be used indoors if placed within a watertight outer planter to catch any drainage. However, the natural fibers may degrade faster in a consistently dry indoor environment.
What makes this liner good for water retention?
The porous nature of the coco coir fibers naturally absorbs and holds water, releasing it gradually to the plant roots and reducing evaporation from the soil surface.
Is this product eco-friendly?
Coco coir is a natural, renewable byproduct of the coconut industry, making it an environmentally friendly choice for garden liners.
What is the dispatch and delivery time?
The product is usually dispatched within 3 working days, with delivery typically completed in 3-5 working days within the UK mainland from the dispatch date.
Troubleshooting
Liner doesn't fit basket perfectly
Use scissors or a sharp knife to carefully trim the edges of the liner to achieve a snug fit. Ensure you trim gradually and check the fit frequently.
Soil falling through liner
Ensure the liner is pressed firmly into the basket and that there are no large gaps. If significant gaps persist, consider patching with additional coco fiber or a smaller piece of liner.
Liner seems to dry out too quickly
Check for any areas where the liner might be too thin or damaged. Ensure the soil is packed firmly and consider adding water-retaining crystals to the potting mix.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the coco liner is the correct size for your wall basket. If needed, carefully trim the edges using scissors or a sharp knife to match the desired dimensions.
- Gently press the liner into the wall basket, shaping it to fit snugly against the sides.
- Fill the liner with your preferred potting mix and plant your chosen flora.
Compatibility:
This 16-inch liner is designed for Ambassador brand wall baskets of a similar size but can also be adapted for other wireframe hanging baskets. Ensure the basket's diameter is within a reasonable range to accommodate the liner's dimensions, with or without trimming.
Care:
While the liner is designed for longevity, its natural fibers will eventually degrade. To prolong its life, keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Inspect the liner periodically for signs of wear, such as thinning or fraying, and replace it when necessary to maintain the integrity of the planter.
