Especially hanging flowers look good in hanging baskets
Creative ideas for planting a hanging basket
A colorful hanging beam creates a summery mood. There are several models that can be used to make a hanging basket. When choosing plants, pay attention to their light requirements.
models
Closed pots are made of ceramic, plastic, metal or clay. Put a layer of potsherds or expanded clay into the planter to create drainage. It causes the excess irrigation water to drain well from the substrate. Delicate roots do not come into contact with waterlogging. At the same time, the water collected on the bottom of the pot can be sucked up again by the substrate. With clay pots, the water evaporates through the pores in the material. Moisture gives mosses and lichens good growth conditions, so you should clean the clay pot regularly.
Open models consist of a wire mesh made of rattan or macrame. Cover the wire mesh with fir branches, moss or burlap before planting. The layer prevents the earth from trickling out of the basket later. Dress the bottom of the basket with a water-impermeable film in which you have to puncture some holes beforehand. As a result, the irrigation water does not immediately flow out of the hanging tube.
Suitable plants
The closed hanging beam is planted from the center to the outside. If you want to hang the planter in the sun, you can plant the head of the hussar or the capflower in the center and fill the edge with species that cascade down over the edge. In sunny places, lanterns, blue fan-flowers, dandelion flower, oleander and purslane grow.
A high-contrast arrangement for the partial shade:
When planting the open hanging pylons, you start with the hanging plants that you insert laterally through the bars. Then fill the vessel with substrate until all root balls are covered. Then plant the vessel from above. Start with the higher waking species placed in the middle. For this flour flour, vanilla flower, hard-working Lieschen or manly litter are suitable. On the edge are the slightly hanging species such as petunias and magic bells or geraniums and fuchsias.
Fill the planter with potting soil and gently press the soil. The roots need contact with the earth. Pour the arrangement thoroughly.
