Brilliant! Wish I knew these tips earlier!

Pruning and deadheading are vital practices for encouraging new blooms and maintaining the overall health of your hanging flowers. Regularly remove spent flowers and any dead or yellowing leaves to promote new growth and prevent disease. Pinching back leggy stems can also help maintain a compact and attractive shape. Use clean, sharp scissors or pruning shears to avoid damaging the plants.

Hanging flowers are not immune to pests and diseases, which can quickly spread in the confined space of a basket. Regularly inspect your plants for signs of aphids, spider mites, or fungal infections. Introduce beneficial insects like ladybugs or use organic insecticidal soap to manage pest populations. Ensure good air circulation around the plants to reduce the risk of fungal diseases, and remove any infected plant material promptly.
