Keeping Hanging Baskets Alive All Summer
The quick answer
Hanging baskets have a lot of plant in a little bit of soil, so they dry out fast. In summer heat, expect to water most days — sometimes morning and evening. Feed lightly every week or two, and pinch off spent blooms.
Common mistakes
- Watering a little every day so it never soaks through — water until it runs out the bottom
- Letting a basket dry to a crisp, then flooding it (the water runs off dry soil)
- Skipping fertilizer — frequent watering washes nutrients out
