Hanging baskets not only add beauty to your garden with most
flowering plants growing beautifully in them but also make the garden design
attractive and give a visual appeal. The advantage of hanging baskets is they
leave the floor space free for use and also do not require much acre except
watering and few trimmings.

Though we nowadays get ready hanging baskets with lovely
flowering plants and ornamental grasses after the season many plant lovers see
that the hanging basket plants begin to look dry and then the plant dies off
after a period of quiet time. Does not give out flowers and also does not grow
any more new leaves.

The lovely bunches of happiness give a fuller look and most
of the times the containers are fully
covered with plants and flowers giving them a look of almost a bouquet of
flowers.
Here I share some very important tips and trick to keep
those lovely hanging baskets fully loaded with blooms-
1) Buy a hanging basket with growing plant that shows green
leaves and some space in the hanging basket. Fully covered hanging baskets have
little scope for new growth and thus after few days begin to die as roots have
over grown in and covered the whole hanging pot.
2) Water carefully and let the plant dry off well between
watering. Never over water hanging basket plants.

3) When the hanging basket plants start looking dry and dull
its time to repot them. Remove the plant from hanging baskets with roots, trim the
roots and then repot or divide plants and repot in different hanging baskets.

4) Check out for ants and pests attack to roots and never
over water. They eat up the roots which are not easily visible to us if the
whole hanging basket is covered with green leaves and flowers.
5) Keep the soil well
draining as clogged soil kills the plants in hanging baskets. And most of the
time we see plates under the hanging baskets to collect drained water, this collected
water may rot the roots as sometimes the plant starts taking water from roots .
