Hanging planters can be a convenient way to grow an organic garden when limited space is a problem. They are ideal for growing flowers, herbs and vegetables on a balcony or other tight places that have the proper growing conditions, like lighting and temperature for the plants you want to grow.
Hanging planters are a great way to add beauty to the decor of your landscape or add beauty and a natural environment to your front porch. They are also a great choice for apartment or condo dwellers who only have a small patio to work with and want a garden.
Don’t hang your plants and let them get dried out. Self-watering hanging baskets can dramatically reduce the amount of time needed to water. Keep your herbs, vegetables or flowers bright and thriving.
When planting in any type of container, the choice of growing media that you use is very important. Not all plants like the same growing conditions. A soilless potting mix is the best choice when planting in containers and they can be specifically mixed for the plants you are growing.
A light weight soilless potting mix is the preferable growing media when using hanging pots. The mix will need to drain well while retaining the moisture and nutrients needed for your plants to thrive. There are many different soilless potting mixes on the market that are ready to use straight from the container or you can blend your own specific mix from soilless products like peat, coir and vermiculite.
Growing plants in hanging pots with organic methods can be an very enjoyable and rewarding way to garden year round.
