FAQs
What are the exact dimensions of each basket?
Each basket measures approximately 30.5 cm (12 inches) in diameter and has a depth of 15 cm.
Do I need to buy coco liners separately?
No, each hanging basket in the 2-pack comes complete with a natural coco liner.
What types of plants are best suited for these baskets?
They are ideal for trailing flowers such as petunias, lobelia, and fuchsias, as well as edible plants like strawberries, cherry tomatoes, and various herbs.
How much weight can these baskets hold?
The product information does not specify a maximum weight capacity. However, the strong metal construction is designed for stability with typical soil and plant loads. Always use a securely mounted hanging point.
Can these baskets be used indoors?
While designed for outdoor use, they can be used indoors if placed on a waterproof surface to protect furniture and floors. Regular watering might still necessitate indoor drainage solutions.
How often should I replace the coco liner?
Coco liners are biodegradable and typically last one to two seasons, depending on climate and care. You may need to replace them annually for the best appearance and plant support.
Are the hanging chains included?
The product description focuses on the baskets and liners. If chains are not explicitly mentioned, it is advisable to assume they may need to be purchased separately or to use existing compatible chains.
Troubleshooting
Basket is not stable when hung
Ensure the hanging hook or bracket is securely mounted and rated to support the weight of the basket with soil and plants. Check that the basket's hanging chains are evenly distributed.
Plants are drying out too quickly
Water the basket more frequently. Consider adding moisture-retaining crystals to the soil mix or mulching the top layer to help retain moisture. Ensure the coco liner is properly seated.
Coco liner is deteriorating rapidly
While coco liners are biodegradable, excessive deterioration may be due to constant overwatering or harsh environmental conditions. Ensure proper drainage and consider replacing the liner annually for best results.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the hanging basket's support chain (if included, or attach your own) is securely fastened to the basket's top rim.
- Place the coco liner inside the metal basket, ensuring it fits snugly against the sides.
- Fill the basket with a suitable potting mix, leaving space for your plants.
- Arrange your chosen plants, considering their growth habits (e.g., trailing plants around the edges).
- Water thoroughly after planting.
- Hang the basket from a sturdy hook or bracket capable of supporting its weight when wet.
Compatibility:
- Compatible with most standard potting soils and fertilizers.
- Suitable for use with a wide range of flowering plants, herbs, and small fruits.

Care:
- Watering: Water regularly, checking soil moisture daily, especially during dry or hot weather, as coco liners dry out faster than plastic.

- Storage: During winter or harsh weather, consider bringing the baskets indoors to prolong their lifespan.
