Hanging Baskets Part 3: Care Guide // Garden Answer

[@faycouch5247]

I always struggled with cutting off the blooms, but after watching you last year I trimmed mine up, and what a difference, the plants really bounced back and bloomed vigorously again.Thank you Laura for all of your advice and inspiration.

[@Sookielein]

Wow the orange and indigo is a striking colorcombination.beautiful!

[@tiffinyharrington9307]

Trimming baskets - or any annuals - has been hard for me until I watched you do it as you planted out a bed in a video. It makes sense and your results were much fuller plants. Very encouraging. I love the self-cleaning PW selections. Definitely seeking these out this season! Love your channel!

[@sandyg8794]

Hi Laura! Thank you so much for this video. I struggle with hanging containers about half way through the season. I've never thought of fertilizing them so often, or trimming them. I will definitely do that this year. Your videos are so helpful! Can't thank you enough!

[@StudioEmmy]

I learned to trim our hanging baskets last year. What a difference it made in my baskets! It really is important if you want full and pretty baskets! Here's to a great gardening summer, Laura! 😁

[@mahoganyrootsstudio158]

This is my first year designing my hanging baskets. Thank you for the inspiration. Also for the tips on how many plants can go in one. You are fabulous.

[@meganw.8378]

[@LO-tm8fh]

Always return to these videos! Thanks Laura for all you do!

[@lisawalters5482]

I cut some length off this year for the first time ever and it works! My basket has never looked so full and beautiful. In fact, the top is now regenerating and doesn’t look flat anymore!!! Thank you so much for the PUSH to trim me up! 🤗

[@karengraham5559]

Thank you. Good info on time release fertilizer and then once a week with water soluble. Didn't realize I could use both.

[@budoneof15]

Great tips. Laura, I hope you have a wonderful Mother’s Day.

Would ❤️ for you to do a video on planter boxes. I have wooden ones without holes and I’m wondering if I should use a liner as not to rot the wood - should I drill holes - how to care for wooden boxes - should I apply a stain. Thanks for another great video.

KZbin is so weird. Yours is the only channel I subscribe to that KZbin gives me multiple alerts for new videos. Really wants me to watch, lol! No worries though, I love to watch your videos.

[@Bamboo4U2]

Hey Laura, didn't you once say you also reapply the slow-release fertilizer every four to six weeks? Is that correct? If so, do you skip the weekly fertilizing (with the water-soluble fertilizer) that week or do you do both (since the slow-release is heat-activated)?

[@ashiidine]

Thank you. I live in the desert southwestern states... thanks for covering the climate and sun! 👍🏼🌵

[@2travelbugs]

Explaining the use of BOTH water soluble and slow release fertilizers answers a big question for me! I thought that might be over doing it. These plants are hungry and I want the best blooms and foliage possible.

[@donnaferguson3665]

Yes, please. I just spent a small fortune on Supertunias for my planters but still need to fill my hanging baskets, too!

[@kyrad6543]

I like your style. Hey if you don't ask....

[@CottageGardensonForest]

Do you pinch to encourage fullness or is just trimming it back have the same effect. I’ve avoided hanging baskets because I just needed your wonderful guidance on picking plants, how to plant it and how to feed and water them . I’m hoping to have baskets that rival your hay racks last year. Thanks for everything!!

[@Bamboo4U2]

You do not have to "pinch" or "dead head" Supertunias. The trimming back thing Laura does once, midseason. The whole point (benefit) in buying the Supertunias is so that you never have to deadhead them. I can't believe anyone ever grew petunias before these hit the market. I couldn't imagine individually pinching dozens of blooms off a plant.

[@CottageGardensonForest]

Thanks

[@christinahutchison3967]

What are your thoughts on water retaining crystals the ones it turned to like gel and then release the water into the soil.

[@elsafischer3247]

Thank you

[@amoramipequenojardin2020]

[@bettedelgrosso8474]

Do I add the whole gallon of water soluble fertilizer to one hanging basket?

[@cindyduhrkopf4933]

Great tips! H love your basket. Do you sell them?

[@cherylanderson3340]

I didn't know they could use so much fertilizing as a slow release - * plus * - a weekly feeding! I've let mine nearly dry out in between too, thinking they need that so they don't rot!

[@Jack-oc2xq]

It depends on the plants but most do like to dry out a little before watering again, if your basket is too wet you will drown the roots and cause them to rot

[@Bamboo4U2]

Some of the Supertunias do not like a lot of water. I think the Bordeaux and the Blue Velvet are two that don't like it while the Limoncello, Latte and Bubble Gum variety will take whatever you throw at it. At least that seems to be what I observe from Laura's videos.

[@christinemcgrandle8092]

Hi there, can you recommend a good fertiliser to encourage blooms to open, some of my plants are a little slow to open this year and not sure why. Any help you could give would be great! TIA

[@my-ti4ui]

hi, Laura thanks for all the great info and advice. Also I wonder why the Proven Winner water soluble you showed this vlog is color green and your other vlog the color is blue, but they all say the same as proven winner water soluble fertilizer...thanks

[@karmicpopcorn6440]

I'm really enjoying these videos, I've only been watching a couple of months, so I go back and watch older ones when there's time. I'm getting confused though. Is the triangle garden gone and the veggie garden and new brick path where it used to be? Did the driveway shift? What happened to the old white archway there? Anyone? 😬😄

[@rebecca6017]

Someone's Mom At the end of her garden tours, Arron does a drone shot. That’s the best way to see the layout of the yard. Triangle is still there.

[@Bamboo4U2]

The vegetable garden is still there. It's at the end of the new brick walkway. Here's a link to the July 2018 Garden Tour drone shot of the property. The new brick walkway isn't there (obviously, since they just did that) but you can get a better idea of where things are and just how very beautiful their property is: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppmzfKGLYtCogsU

Question, please answer if you can. I'm a novice at all of this and have purchased my first home where I can actually do whatever I want to do. In addition to that I have moved to a different climate. Was in Las Vegas and now in the high sierra's. The front of my home faces south west (more towards the west) and my little garden bed out front only gets sun from 2 or 3pm thru the rest of the day. I dont know what type of plants I should be trying to put in there. Shade? Part sun? Part sun seems to be the answer but a lot of plants that I like , I have looked up and eventhough they are classified as "part sun" it says that they do best in part or full sun. I'm so confused! What should I be looking for?

[@rayodelsol80]

My Life My Smile a lot of gardening is trial and error. Don’t live in confusion! Just pick a plant, plant it and see how it performs. If it dies or isn’t really thriving, try something else until you get a combination that works for you! What are some native flowers that grow where you live? Try those and see what works. I can see the sierras from my house and now I’ll wonder how your garden is when I look at them 😂

[@RosiePoly]

You should ask at your local garden center. I’m sure they could give you some recommendations.

[@christinaschmidt5539]

Hi Laura I bought a hanging basket with the plastic lining for Mother's day. The person who sold it to me said it was a great feature. Should I try to put a hole in it? I don't want to give my stepmom the basket if it's going to possibly rot.

[@cathybranly1839]

I think you should poke a hole in it if it is going outside. Otherwise, it will overflow or the plants will sit in too much water.

[@Bamboo4U2]

@@cathybranly1839 , and if she puts it outside, pay attention to what's underneath it, because it's gonna get wet, lol.

[@kyrad6543]

Sometimes those plastic liners already have small holes in them like the size of a paper-punch hole. But the plastic helps to retain a bit more moisture than the coco-coir liner. The best way to tell is to give it a big drink of water and see if any comes out the bottom.

BTW I have just now starting to see the “Surpertunia Vista” series at our local Home Depot. Unfortunately I can’t find the water soluble or slow release fertilizer anywhere locally. I’ve opted to use Jacks water soluble fertilizer. Anyone have good success with it? I know I can buy PW fertilizer on-line but I would prefer to skip the shipping cost. Thanks

[@rockmom62]

I used the coco liners, when I water it goes right through the liner. Is it because I bought the cheap kind? I planted just creeping jennies and their dying.

Maybe. Laura has said that the cheaper liners aren't worth it. Here, watch this. She goes over the basket, the liner and the plants. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6K6app5mdR5gJY
