Brilliant! Wish I knew these tips earlier!
Tip 3: Watering Techniques for Consistent Moisture
Hanging flowers require consistent moisture, especially during the hot summer months. Watering in the early morning or late afternoon helps reduce evaporation and allows the plants to absorb moisture effectively. Use a watering can with a long spout or a hose with a gentle spray attachment to reach the base of the plants without damaging the foliage. Check the soil moisture regularly by sticking your finger about an inch into the soil; if it feels dry, it’s time to water.
Tip 4: Fertilizing Strategies for Continuous Growth
Regular feeding is crucial for maintaining the vigor and bloom production of hanging flowers. Use a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every two weeks to provide essential nutrients. Alternatively, slow-release fertilizers can be mixed into the soil at the beginning of the season for a steady supply of nutrients. Be cautious not to over-fertilize, as this can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of flowers.
