Hanging baskets with plants planted in them are often used as decoration for a balcony, terrace or window.
True, the flowerpot can only perform its decorative role if its “inhabitants” bloom profusely.
In this regard, tips that will help you achieve lush flowering of plants in a hanging pot will come in handy.
The right place
To choose the right location for your hanging basket plants, consider their type and requirements. If you place a planter full of shade-loving fuchsias or begonias in full sun, they will soon wilt. The same will happen to sun-loving plants, such as petunias, left in the shade.
In addition, the place should be protected from the wind so that its strong gusts do not tear the basket from its mount and harm the delicate flowers.
Turn the container over periodically and cut off wilted flower heads from time to time – these actions stimulate re-flowering.
Deep watering
Watering plants in a hanging basket should be done when the soil looks dry.
The exception is hot or windy weather. During such periods, the frequency of watering increases to 1-2 times a day.
Moistening the soil should be done early in the morning or late in the evening. Watering should be abundant - pour water until it starts to flow through the drainage holes.
Regular feeding
In addition to water, plants need nutrients to bloom.
Try to choose a good fertilizer for your flowers - fortunately, there are a huge number of them. The best option is considered to be water-soluble or granulated fertilizers with slow dissolution.
For reference
Flowering is a complex of physiological processes occurring in flowering plants during the period from flower initiation to fertilization; a stage of ontogenesis during which the plant moves from vegetative growth to fertilization and generative development.
