#Wire hanging baskets how to#

How to hang wire basket on wall or ceilingĪt Flower Power our black wire basket range includes two styles: true hanging baskets with elegant chains and a hook at the top to secure, or a wall mount, with a flat side and a space to hook it on. Plant taller upright succulents and strappy grasses in the centre, and add smaller ones around the sides, making sure to add a few hanging and trailing succulents such as a string of bananas, a chain of pearls, or sedum to drape over the side. How to plant succulents in a wire basket is a delicate balancing act. Make sure you use a specialty succulent and cacti potting mix and let the mix and lining completely dry out before watering again. For the best effect, choose a variety of different shapes, sizes and colours. Succulents are a great option for wire baskets, since they need so little water that there’s no issue with leaking through the liners. Just make sure to hang them in shade and keep their baskets moist. Cherry tomatoes are a good option or try strawberries, and let the fruit dangle enticingly over the edge.ĭelicate ferns look wonderful in hanging baskets too look to maidenhair ferns, Boston ferns, fishbone ferns and asparagus ferns.

If you have a large, sunny window, consider planting a row of hanging baskets with herbs, fruit and vegetables. Soft herbs also grow well in hanging baskets, so you could abandon flowers in favour of a tiny edible garden with basil, parsley and coriander. In the cooler months, you can get a similar effect by replanting your wire basket with petunias, violas, cinerarias, primula and polyanthus, which all produce pretty and colourful flowers. These annuals bloom all through summer and come in a range of colours.
