Brilliant! Wish I knew these tips earlier!

The placement of your hanging baskets is crucial for the health and growth of your flowers. Most summer-blooming flowers require at least six hours of sunlight per day. However, too much direct sunlight, especially during the hottest part of the day, can cause wilting and stress. Aim to position your baskets where they receive morning sun and afternoon shade, or use a sheer curtain to filter the harshest rays. Regularly assess the light conditions as the sun’s angle changes throughout the season.

Proper drainage is essential to prevent water from pooling at the bottom of the basket, which can lead to root rot. Ensure your hanging baskets have adequate drainage holes and consider adding a layer of gravel or broken pottery at the bottom to facilitate water flow. Use a well-draining potting mix specifically designed for containers, which often includes materials like perlite or vermiculite to improve aeration and drainage.
