FAQs
What are these coco liners made from?
They are made from natural coco fibres, which are a sustainable and biodegradable material.
How do I know which size to buy?
Measure the diameter of your hanging basket across the top. The liners are available in 12", 14", and 16" sizes to fit most standard baskets.
Are these liners reusable for multiple seasons?
These liners are designed for a single growing season. Due to their natural, compostable material, they will break down over time. They can be composted at the end of the season.
Can I use these in any type of hanging basket?
Yes, they are designed to fit into standard wire hanging basket frames. They may not be suitable for solid-bottomed planters.
How often should I water plants in these liners?
You should check the soil moisture daily. Coco liners allow for good aeration but also dry out more quickly than synthetic materials. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry.
What is the benefit of using coco liners over plastic liners?
Coco liners offer superior aeration and drainage for plant roots, promoting healthier growth and preventing root rot. They are also environmentally friendly and compostable.
How do I dispose of the liner after the season?
The coco liner is fully compostable. You can add it to your home compost bin or garden waste recycling.
Troubleshooting
Liner feels too dry shortly after watering
Coco fibre is highly permeable. Ensure you are watering thoroughly until water drains from the bottom. Consider using a moisture-retaining compost or adding moisture-retaining crystals to the soil mix. Shielding the basket from intense afternoon sun might also help.
Liner does not fit basket well
Verify that the liner size (12", 14", or 16") matches the diameter of your hanging basket. Some minor adjustments or gentle pressing may be needed for a perfect fit, but if significantly oversized or undersized, ensure you have the correct product.
Plants appear wilted despite watering
Check for potential root issues. Ensure adequate drainage holes are present and not blocked. If the liner is old and breaking down, it might not be holding soil effectively. Replace the liner if it's degraded.
