Hanging flower baskets - master class
This material is also available to Ukrainian
How to spice up a boring house facade? The solution, in fact, is in the air and is called "Hanging Baskets", which means "hanging baskets" in English. This is a special form of flower hanging vases, which has recently become increasingly popular among amateur flower growers. To the inexperienced gardener, "Hanging Baskets" may seem like a simple hanging flower vase. Unlike classic flower hanging containers, which serve to hang flowerpots with cascading flowers, Hanging Baskets are designed for planting plants not only from above, but also from the sides and from below. These are large, permeable mesh baskets made of metal or plastic-coated wire, as well as baskets woven from vines. With the right selection of plants and their harmonious combination, a peculiar and rather spectacular flower ball is obtained.
The fashion for flower hanging baskets full of bright summer flowers came to us from good old England and very quickly gained popularity among gardeners. Now, in many cities around the world, flower balls decorate balconies, terraces, as well as street lights and entrance areas of houses. So, for example, for 70 years in a row, every summer, the capital of the Canadian province of British Columbia, Victoria, has been decorated with "Hanging Baskets". Traditionally, 25 specimens of nine different plant species are planted in each basket. All the street lamps have "Hanging Baskets" which weigh approximately 20 kg in full bloom! Modern set of plants for flower wire baskets with 1960 years has not changed much. Experimenting with new flowering and deciduous plants in order to create the best and longest-lasting compositions takes a lot of time and effort. Therefore, when forming flower arrangements in mesh baskets, Victorians prefer to stick to traditional, time-tested compositional combinations of plants.
What does it take to make a flower hanging basket? Firstly, a basket with large cells, the holes in it are used for planting plants from the sides. Second, you'll need a basket liner to keep soil from spilling through the holes in the basket. Next, you will need, of course, a good earthen mixture that perfectly retains moisture, as well as the plants themselves and a bracket that can withstand heavy loads. It should be noted that a basket with well-moistened soil has a rather heavy weight, so the fastening must be reliable.
Laying the basket
For stability, place the basket over a container, such as a bucket. To prevent the earth from spilling out through the holes, you need to use an insert. For these purposes, burlap is usually used, and even better sphagnum moss. A basket with a sphagnum liner looks very beautiful and impressive. In this case, the bottom of the basket with a dense layer of moss is covered with plastic wrap so that water does not immediately pour out during irrigation.
Many gardening centers sell pre-made liners for wire baskets made from pressed coir, wood waste and paper. A polyethylene film is already integrated into the bottom of these special liners. Whatever material you choose as the liner, it must hold the soil well, be breathable so that the roots of the plants can breathe, and excessive moisture does not form in the basket. In addition, the inserts must be suitable so that holes can be made in them for planting on all sides.
Planting
Planting in baskets is always done from the bottom up. We will show you two options for making a sphagnum-based hanging basket and a ready-made coconut fiber liner.
To create a sphagnum-based hanging basket, first line the bottom of the basket with a dense layer of moss, lay a plastic film and pour the bottom layer of a well-moistened ordinary potting mix for balcony plants with the addition of expanded clay or special water-retaining granules, as well as slowly dissolving fertilizers.
The plants are then planted. It can be small annuals or hanging, ampelous plants - petunia, caliberhoa, geranium. They are laid in a horizontal position so that their upper part is outside, and the roots, threaded through the holes in the basket, are on an earthen coma. Then the roots of the plants are carefully covered with a dense layer of moss. A little soil mixture is poured into the basket and plants of the second row are planted in the same way, distributing them evenly around the entire perimeter.
Add soil mixture again, spread a dense layer of moss to the very edges of the basket and plant upright plants on top of the basket. It can be salvia, tree heliotrope, long-leaved lobelia or Waller's balsam. In our case, it is fuchsia. Free spaces are filled with the remaining soil mixture to the edges of the moss.
When planting plants in a basket with a special coconut insert, fill the bottom of the insert with the substrate to the level where the first layer of plants is planned to be planted. Then, with sharp scissors or a knife, cross-shaped cuts are made in the liner, through which the root ball of plants is gently pushed through.
In our example, ivy is used for the bottom layer, which develops long falling shoots. The ivy roots are carefully straightened and the soil mixture is added. The next layer of plants is planted in a similar way, having previously made slots in the coconut liner for lateral planting. In this case, plants with a dense, bushy habit were used. These are three copies of Mauritanian bindweed (Convolvulus sabatius) and diascia.
Upright plants such as lavender and dark purple verbena were chosen for the top layer, in the middle. Empty spaces between plants are filled with the remaining soil mixture.
The finished basket should be well watered. When watering for the first time, it is not necessary to hang the basket, as the soil should settle and compact. If necessary, you can add a little substrate. Only after sufficient watering, the finished flower basket is hung on brackets in the garden, on the balcony, on the terrace or on tree branches. The sun, water and your love in two or three weeks will turn the basket into a lush-flowering ball.
What goes with what
In contrast to the usual hanging flower vases, which are planted mainly with hanging plants, a wide variety of plant species are suitable for mesh baskets. With a little imagination and skill, you can create an individual and very colorful composition. Flower mesh baskets are especially effective if, when compiling a composition, plants are used not only with different colors, but also with different forms of growth and size. A composition of plants with long hanging shoots, covered with leaves of an interesting shape and color, paired with falling long-flowering annual and perennial herbaceous plants and a very expressive solitary perennial in the middle, looks harmoniously.

Caring for flowering baskets
- Use high quality flowering plant soil. Pre-fertilized soil is perfect for demanding balcony and tub plants.
- To prevent water and nutrient deficiencies, add slow-release fertilizer for flowering plants, water-retaining granules to the soil.
- For plants grown in hanging baskets, regular watering is very important. Water the plants in the morning and evening, and more often on hot days. Don't let the compost dry out! It is better to water in small doses, but often.
- Approximately 4-6 weeks after planting, start feeding the plants with a once-a-week liquid compound fertilizer.
- Remove faded flowers regularly to prolong flowering.
- Over time, stronger plants drown out and crowd out weaker ones. Prune strong plants by shortening their long shoots. This promotes abundant flowering and active growth.
- Choose a bright and wind-protected place for the hanging basket. Partial shade creates ideal conditions for the growth and flowering of plants.
And don't be afraid of the pessimistic forecasts of some gardeners that flowering baskets do not live long. With a little care and creativity, blooming hanging baskets will lift your spirits all summer long.
