FAQs
What material is the liner made of?
The liner is made from high-quality coco husk, which is natural, biodegradable, and environmentally friendly.
How often should I water the plants?
Watering frequency depends on weather conditions and plant types. Check the soil moisture daily by touching it; water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry. The coco liner helps retain moisture but can dry out quickly in hot, sunny, or windy conditions.
Do I need to add anything to the basket before planting?
No, the basket comes pre-filled with a coco husk liner, ready for you to add your plants and suitable potting compost.
What kind of plants work best in this basket?
This basket is ideal for trailing plants such as petunias, fuchsias, lobelia, ivy, and verbena. It also works well for cascading herbs like thyme or oregano.
How long does the coco liner typically last?
The lifespan of the coco liner can vary depending on your climate and maintenance. Generally, it lasts between 1 to 3 seasons before it may need replacing.
What are the exact dimensions of the basket?
The basket measures 41.6cm in width, 18.7cm in height, and 20cm in depth.
Is the wire frame weather-resistant?
The wire frame is designed for outdoor use. However, like most metal outdoors, prolonged exposure to harsh weather may eventually lead to rust. Occasional cleaning and maintenance can help prolong its life.
Troubleshooting
Basket appears unstable when hung.
Ensure the hook or bracket used is securely fastened to the wall/fence and is rated for the weight of the basket when full of soil and water. Use a sturdier mounting solution if necessary.
Plants are not thriving or seem dry.
Check soil moisture by inserting a finger into the soil. Water thoroughly if dry. Ensure the location receives appropriate sunlight for the chosen plants. The coco liner may need replacement if it's significantly degraded.
Coco liner seems to be breaking apart.
This is a sign the liner has reached the end of its lifespan and needs replacement. Gently remove the old liner and install a new one of the appropriate size.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Simply select a suitable location on your exterior wall or fence. Ensure the hanging point is secure and capable of supporting the weight of the basket when filled with soil and wet plants. Hang the basket using appropriate hooks or brackets (not included). The basket comes ready for planting directly into the coco liner.
Compatibility: This basket is compatible with most standard hanging hooks and brackets. It is ideal for use with a wide variety of flowering plants, herbs, and trailing foliage. Ensure plants chosen are suitable for hanging basket conditions and your local climate.
Care: Check the soil moisture regularly, especially during hot or windy weather, and water as needed. The coco liner may require replacement every 1-3 seasons depending on climate and plant care. To clean, gently brush away loose soil. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners that could damage the liner or wire. Inspect the wire for any signs of wear or rust and address as needed.
