FAQs

What material is the basket made of?

What is the compost capacity of the basket?

The basket is designed to hold up to 18 litres of compost.

Are plants included with the hanging basket?

No, plants and decorative elements are not included with the Forge Metal Hanging Basket.

How do I replace the coconut liner?

To replace the liner, carefully remove the old coconut fibre. Then, place a new liner into the metal frame, ensuring it fits snugly before adding soil and plants.

What are the dimensions of the basket?

The dimensions are H 22.3cm x W 45.0cm x D 45.0cm.

Can this basket be used indoors?

While designed for outdoor use, it can be used indoors if proper drainage and watering precautions are taken to protect surfaces.

Does it come with chains or rope for hanging?

No, hanging hardware such as chains or rope is not included with the basket. You will need to provide your own suitable hanging mechanism.

Troubleshooting

Basket appears to be rusting.

The powder-coated finish is designed to prevent rust. If rust is observed, it may be due to damage to the coating. Clean the affected area and consider applying a rust-inhibiting sealant for touch-ups.

Plants are drying out too quickly.

The coconut liner provides good drainage, which can lead to faster drying. Increase watering frequency, consider amending the soil with moisture-retaining crystals, or add a layer of mulch on top of the soil.

Liner seems compacted or flattened.

Gently fluff the liner to improve aeration. If it is significantly degraded, it may be time to replace the liner.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Ensure you have appropriate hanging hardware (e.g., a sturdy hook, bracket) suitable for the basket's weight when filled with soil and plants. This is not included with the basket.
  2. Place the natural coconut fibre liner inside the metal frame, ensuring it fits snugly.
  3. Fill the liner with your chosen potting mix, leaving adequate space for plants.
  4. Arrange your plants within the basket.

Compatibility:

This hanging basket is compatible with most standard potting soils and a wide variety of flowering plants, foliage, and compact edibles. It is designed for outdoor use.

Care:

  • Liner Maintenance: The coconut fibre liner may require occasional misting to maintain moisture, especially in dry or windy conditions. Over time, the liner may degrade and can be replaced. To replace, simply remove the old liner and insert a new one.
  • Frame Cleaning: Wipe the powder-coated steel frame with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the coating.
  • Storage: In harsh winter climates, consider bringing the basket indoors to prolong its lifespan, although the durable coating is designed for outdoor exposure.
