How to Care For Your Hanging Basket

Baskets should be checked daily, in a sunny location a basket will dry our quickly.  To check, place your hand underneath and lift.  If it’s heavy do not water.  Baskets typically need water every second or third day.  Let your basket dry out between watering.

To maintain and encourage new colourful blossoms after you bring your basket home, fertilize with Nurseryland Power Bloom 10-40-25.  Mix Power Bloom in your watering can every 10-14 days.

Plant food and fertilizer for flowers and plants

Wave petunias do require a high demand of fertilizer in order for them to perform.  It is nearly impossible to over-feed a wave petunia.  We recommend Nursery Land Container Food 16-10-10.

During high winds bring your basket in or set on the ground to prevent damage.

Well cared for baskets will last the whole summer, bringing a splash of color wherever they are hung.
