FAQs

What size hanging basket does this liner fit?

This liner is designed to fit standard round hanging baskets with a diameter of 40cm (16 inches).

Do I need to poke holes in the liner for drainage?

No, the liner is designed with drainage in mind and will allow excess water to escape through its material or pre-designed micro-perforations, preventing waterlogging.

Can I reuse this liner for multiple seasons?

While durable for one season, it is generally recommended to replace the liner each season for optimal plant health and to prevent potential disease transfer.

What kind of plants are best suited for this liner?

It is ideal for seasonal flowers and trailing plants, providing a good base for healthy root development.

Will this liner hold my compost in place?

Yes, the primary function of the liner is to help retain compost within the hanging basket, reducing loss during watering.

Can I use this liner in a non-round basket?

No, this liner is specifically shaped to fit standard round hanging baskets and will not fit other shapes correctly.

Troubleshooting

Liner doesn't fit basket perfectly

Gently push down the sides and adjust to fit. Minor adjustments may be needed for slightly varied basket shapes within the 40cm size.

Water seems to drain too quickly

Ensure the liner is fully settled into the basket and that the compost is adequately moist. If drainage holes are excessively large, consider a very thin layer of additional material at the bottom, though this is rarely needed.

Liner appears to be sagging

Ensure the basket itself is sturdy and not damaged. The liner provides structure but relies on the basket's integrity. Make sure the compost is evenly distributed.
