It is important to choose a mix of flowering plants to support the diversity of insects. Make sure that the plants are grown organically, without the use of harmful pesticides.

    You usually bloom from spring to fall, depending on the specific type of plant planted in the hanging basket. The blooming period can last from a few weeks to several months, depending on the care and blooming cycle of the plant. It is important to regularly fertilize and water for a longer blooming period.

  • To keep the plant beautiful and healthy, it is important to prune regularly. Remove dead flowers and branches to stimulate growth. Trim any long and protruding branches if necessary.

    Don't forget to regularly water the plant in the hanging pot. Check regularly if the soil is moist enough and water if necessary. Make sure the water can drain properly to prevent root rot.

    A good potting soil for garden plants in hanging baskets should contain sufficient nutrients and have good drainage. Choose a lightweight potting soil that doesn't dry out too quickly, but also doesn't stay too wet. Avoid heavy soil types that make the basket too heavy and make sure to regularly refresh the potting soil for optimal growth and blooming.

    Most garden plants prefer a soil with a neutral acidity, with a pH value between 6 and 7. It is advisable to occasionally measure the acidity of the soil and, if necessary, correct it with lime or sulfur. More acidic soils can hinder the absorption of nutrients and negatively affect plant growth.

    It is important to regularly inspect the plant for pests such as aphids, spider mites, and whiteflies. Typically, these pests can be controlled with an environmentally friendly pesticide or by using natural enemies. It is also advisable to rinse the leaves with water regularly to remove any pests that may be present.
