Anyone who has been in Europe in the summer will certainly appreciate the beauty of the local balconies and gardens, decorated with luxurious hanging baskets of flowers. Recently, such baskets are also gaining popularity in our country. Making them with your own hands is not at all difficult.
It is necessary
Special hanging basket with insert, plastic wrap, flower pot tray, scissors, flower seedlings
Instructions
Step 1
From the inside, line the liner with plastic wrap so that the edges of the liner reach about the middle of the liner height. Place a drip tray at the bottom of the basket to keep it dry.
Step 2
Then the basket is half filled with a soil mixture consisting of three parts of high-moor peat, one part of sand and one part of vermicompost. Everything is well compacted and moisturized. Then several holes are made in the walls of the basket above the surface of the filled soil. Usually three to seven.
Step 3
Seedlings of ampelous plants are carefully inserted into the holes made. Their root system must be on the surface of the earth. The plants themselves are outside the basket. Now the basket needs to be filled with soil, not reaching the upper edge by 2-3 cm. The soil is carefully pressed.
Step 4
It remains to plant compact, abundantly flowering annuals in the center. Ampelous plants are planted along the edge of the basket. Then the planted plants are watered. And the basket is removed in a shaded place or in a greenhouse until the plants have completely taken root. After that, you can use it as you wish.
