-Plants for hanging baskets should be raised in root trainers, as the resulting root ball is an ideal size to past through the liner into the soil medium.

-In cool climates hang a newly planted basket in a greenhouse or sheltered area for a few weeks first to give the plants a good start.

-Wrap yarn or moss around the rim of the wire basket to prevent it from cutting through stems.

- Avoid windy sites such as the corner of a building, the basket will dry out more quickly.

- Tie the back of the basket to the bracket to prevent it from swaying in the wind.

Consider lining the basket with coconut fiber. In addition to the aesthetic qualities of  Coco-Moss there are many horticultural benefits as well. For centuries, the Pacific Islanders have known that the shell of the coconut (with its resilient fibers) provided a perfect environment for the growth and development of flourishing plants.

In nature the fibers purpose is to protect the fruit of the coconut, and in its natural state it is resistant to disease and insect infestation.As an added benefit these planters with coconut moss drain extremely well and your plants will never experience root rot.
