FAQs

What material is the basket made from?

The basket is made from powder-coated galvanised wire, which provides resistance to UV, weather, and rust.

What is the diameter of the basket?

The basket has a diameter of 35cm.

Does it come with a chain for hanging?

The product description does not specify if a hanging chain is included. Typically, hanging baskets are sold separately from their chains or hooks.

Do I need a liner for this basket?

While not strictly required, using a liner is often recommended to help retain soil and moisture, and to prevent soil from washing out through the wire mesh.

Can this basket be used indoors?

This basket is designed for outdoor use and its durable, weather-resistant construction makes it suitable for outdoor environments. While it can be used indoors, care should be taken to protect surfaces from soil and water.

How much weight can this basket support?

The product information does not specify a weight limit. It is constructed from robust metal, but users should ensure their hanging support is rated for the combined weight of the basket, soil, plants, and water.

Is the green color fade-resistant?

Yes, the powder coating provides UV resistance, which helps to protect the color from fading due to sun exposure.

Troubleshooting

Basket appears to be rusting

While designed to be rust-resistant, prolonged exposure to harsh conditions or damage to the coating could lead to rust. Inspect the coating for any chips or scratches. Minor surface rust can often be gently scrubbed away with a soft brush and mild soap, then dried thoroughly.

Plants are not thriving

Ensure the basket is in an appropriate location for the chosen plants (sunlight/shade). Check soil moisture – the deep area can sometimes retain more water; allow the top inch of soil to dry slightly between waterings. Fertilize according to plant needs.

Wire coating is peeling

If the powder coating is peeling, this may expose the metal underneath to the elements. Contact the retailer or manufacturer for potential warranty information or replacement options. For a temporary fix, you could lightly sand the area and apply a rust-inhibiting paint suitable for metal outdoors, though this may affect the aesthetic.

  • Resistant to UV, weather, and rust for long-term use.
  • Modern and elegant design enhances outdoor aesthetics.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure you have a sturdy hook or bracket capable of supporting the weight of the basket, soil, and plants once watered.
  2. If using a liner (recommended to retain soil and moisture), place it inside the wire basket, ensuring it conforms to the shape.
  3. Fill the basket with your chosen potting mix, leaving adequate space for plants.
  4. Arrange your plants in the basket, considering their growth habits (e.g., trailing plants around the edges).
  5. Water thoroughly after planting.
  6. Hang the basket in your desired location.

Compatibility:

  • Plants: Suitable for most annuals, perennials, trailing plants, and small shrubs. Ideal for flowering plants like petunias, fuchsias, geraniums, and lobelia, as well as herbs and small ornamental grasses.
  • Hanging Points: Compatible with standard hanging basket hooks and brackets. Ensure the hanging point is secure and can bear significant weight.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Maintenance: Check the hanging chain and hook periodically for wear and tear. Remove dead leaves and spent flowers regularly to encourage further blooming.
  • Winter Storage: For extended longevity, consider storing the empty basket indoors during harsh winter months, although its weather-resistant coating is designed for outdoor exposure.
