Your the man Scott!

[@SharkeysFloralGreenhouses]

Thank you!

[@donnaherzig9244]

Scott, I love your videos. I have learned so much about plants from you!

[@SharkeysFloralGreenhouses]

Thank you for that encouragement!

A town nearby has beautiful hanging baskets on a bridge- very high. How on earth do they stay so healthy and always in full beauty of abundance of blooms.

[@melissam33]

We have those in a town square near us too! I have seen the water guy go around but how do they keep them so nice all season?! Mine start getting bad in July.

What time a day should I fertilize my hanging pots? And how often? I live in FL summer heat gets up to 105 sunny everyday on these flowers. I have to water them everyday

[@voltagedrop6098]

My hanging baskets look bare in the middle of the pot looking down. I have growth around the rim of the pot but it seems July and after they dont look full in the middle.

Thanks for the tip! That’s what my hanging baskets looks like!! Should I give my baskets more fertilizer?

[@SharkeysFloralGreenhouses]

Make sure to get the watering corrected, but yes they will need the nutrients from the fertilizer for new growth.

[@TheresaCroatt]

@@SharkeysFloralGreenhouses thank you

[@traceypawlowski283]

Scott..will you be diluting the fertilizer? I go by your recommendation of fertilizer Fridays. At your greenhouse, do you do a daily diluted feeding system?

[@barboconnell2528]

I have done everything right and not sure why mine did the same things 😜.

[@howellomaha]

If someone brings you a basket that looks like this, do you cut the foliage back? After watching a few of your videos, that is what I thought you were going to do: cut it all back to the rim of the pot to give it a fresh start (in addition to watering with fertilizer).

[@SharkeysFloralGreenhouses]

On these baskets we are not going to, just going to get them some TLC and fertilize them with the Beat Your Neighbor fertilizer about every other day.

I think I have a lot of problems because we can't control the weather. I live in the South, and we get a couple of days of rain and then hot sun that shocks the plants. I am here for instance with a torenia that suddenly seems to be dying and a couple of begonias in pots that laid down. I already took the begonias out, and there is only about an inch of a root ball. The potting soil that the nursery uses holds a lot of water even though it has drainage holes. In trying to save them, I repotted with just the tiny root ball into fresh potting soil and perlite. Will see if they survive. The torenia was a $35 basket that is supposed to be sun or shade (Summer Wave large blue), and it's getting direct sun from 12-2. Any advice? It seems annual plants have it great in the greenhouse, and then don't adjust well to heat, light and humidity even though they are sold as heat tolerant by Proven Winners for example. I don't have yellowing, just lots of plants that wilt even though the soil is moist (I use a moisture meter). I have been using Proven Winners' liquid to feed weekly. It's not the petunias that do this. Any ideas? Thanks.

Hi Scott, is there an update on these baskets ?

[@SharkeysFloralGreenhouses]

We did do a follow up and will feature them one more time also in an upcoming video. They turned out so nice we put them on our own front porch! kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXqsqoidm8qagdk&ab_channel=BeatYourNeighborPlantFood%26Fertilizer

[@bonniemccormack1361]

@@SharkeysFloralGreenhouses I’m so glad to hear this. I’m also not surprised 😊 We’ve had a super rainy season and it’s driving me crazy not enjoying my watering time. My new hoses aren’t even dirty lol

[@barboconnell2528]

My whirlwind or FaN flower completely died in my 2 planters and nothing else died. Might have been a rabbit, but nothing else died. I love this planet and this is my first year with them. Help!

[@amazingheroart]

But isn’t fertilizing every other day TOO MUCH fertilizer???

[@SharkeysFloralGreenhouses]

In this scenario no, because we were looking to bring it back to health and push new growth. Normally though a typical fertilizer routine is minimum once a week, maybe twice or more though is fine.
