I have been binge watching your videos over the past couple days and I love your creativity and style and the care information you provide. We used to have a lot of cacti when I was growing up in India and I found them rather dull, but I see how I could have made them look lively. I can't wait to try some in the USA now, where I work. Thank you for the perspective! And keep these videos coming!

[@Kittyg6535]

I have just started watching all your videos. I really am hooked, you make great planters and you have so many great ideas. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@Angeegabs]

I am thinking about doing hanging baskets this year and I never would have thought to look at the underside of the leaves! I guess it is an important thing to consider! Thanks for the tip, I love your videos, they're so high-quality and they always put a smile on my face!

[@darwinmcquerter7463]

Angeepantz I have admit, first time I heard that as well about the bottom of the plant!

[@donnabagnati29]

I’m enjoying going way back to these earlier videos

Awesome video, I plant two !4inch hanging baskets each year. Based off this video. I over plant then.

[@ann-sofienilsson9400]

The plant that was planted in the middle of the basket are one of my favorite plants I have them in lots of different colors or maybe I should say had them. Living in the forest they are not just my favorites the deers love to have them as a nice evening snack....

[@raywalteroutdoors]

I live deep in the forest. I have 22 deer who free roam my land. I have a feeder about 250 feet from the house. My house is surrounded by hosta. They used to eat them but haven't touched them in 3 years since I started spraying Liquid Fence. Give it a try!

[@OmarQuezada1971]

me agrada mucho la combinación de las plantas y lo que se ve tan facil para hacer en casa,,,,,genial!!!!

[@pamgeistweidt9149]

I love and appreciate all of your helpful tips. Thank you so much! Some of us have a really brown thumb but working on turning it green 😉 I’m wondering is it possible to share how many hours of sun if any your planters will get and exactly how much water and how often you will be watering them? It would help me so much! I think the problem I have is over watering....not sure .

[@dianebeckett1697]

Thank you for this video, much appreciated! I using 12” urns. I guess 4 will do. :) Ty for the know how!:) There are soo many beautiful flowers!!

[@Nelly54ify]

You are awesome Laura. I enjoy watching your videos over and over! Can you talk about fertilizer please. What do you use for the potted plants? Thank you

[@natashalindner2059]

You are such an inspiration, and for Christmas mine is having an Ivy Scarlet Geranium, red Petunias, white Alyssum and for drama and contrast I am trying mixed colour Portulaca. For my first one, it is planted out although patience is not my virtue, and the one I saw here is the one I really would like :-)

[@rosineidemaria5381]

ficou lindoooo parabéns ameiiii !!

[@jdsmith9855]

What’s your source for the basket itself? It looks like a quality one.

[@ronaprescott4007]

Can you do a demo on the half hanging baskets for the porch. Mine are 30 in. I tried one summer and the plants just didn't do well. I may need something that's going to be able to handle hear. Absolutely, beautiful arrangement. Thanks for sharing.

[@ljmosski]

Oh my goodness! The blonde! And still so pretty. Look how far you've come and all the things you've accomplished since you did this video 4 short years ago. Only getting better girl!

[@olgacandelaria7761]

I would like to know how to maintain the plants when they grow. Do you cut/prune them? how much or often? thanks.

[@fatimast.pierre5077]

Hi..I'm new....love your videos. ..I need to do a hanging plant too...for my beautiful vintage plant holder, love all your picks...could you name all of the plants and flowers so I can pick them up this weekend. Thank you.😊

[@aicaterineangelos3311]

Love your videos, where did you get the basket from? Thanks!!

[@valentina4896]

Love it ❤️

[@interludeadventures508]

I really need to try and find a way to hang a hanging basket on my balcony. I have a rooftop balcony so there is no "roof" from a balcony above but we'll see. I'll figure something out.

[@ZachBlogs]

you're gonna be a youtube guru.

[@nimblewimble]

You called it.

[@squerky]

Hello! I was wondering, do you harvest/eat the potatoes out of your potato vines? Or do you just use this plant for foliage?

[@dg09695]

Is there a particular place you get your wire hanging baskets like the one in this video? I love the flat bottom and overall aesthetic of the basket with the numerous wires in it. :)

[@manelgamaeathige5102]

very beautiful.

[@carenallen5841]

What type of fertilizer do you use? Is it a lick what I’m thinking thank you love your videos.

[@janevt.5914]

Years ago I was able to find extra deep hanging baskets but now I am having trouble finding liners deep enough. Any suggestions to find extra deep large liners? Thanks!

[@MosaicRose99]

What a lovely hanging arrangement. Love your lighter hair for spring. :)

[@codyor4483]

Bacopa is a FULL SUN plant. Huerchera is a perennial, shade plantl, use Black Ipomea, sweet potato vine, which is also a full sun plant. Wrong mix of plants. Drop the coconut coir, use burlap. Biodegradable, and sooooo much easier to use. Coconut coir can harbor diseases, and insects and cannot be used year to year. I grew and sold municipal hanging baskets, and taught hanging basket classes at my nursery for years. You need (in a 18" pot) 1 vertical center plant, thinking of a clock face, plant focus plants (those with bigger flowers) at 12, 2,4,6,8, 10 oclock, and fill inbetween with component, smaller foliage flowering plants. Plant with timed release fertilizer, layered starting 1/2 way up the container as you fill it with potting soil. Also add Soil Moist, water retention granuals into the soil, according to mfg directions. Water with Jacks Classic fertilizer when the hot weather comes, according to mfg directions. Both soil moist and Jacks Classic are the best for hanging basket success.

[@marianamunoz6075]

I would love to attend one of your hanging basket classes!!! Do tell!!! Where do I sign up? (Zoom)

[@eileenbradbury3791]

Bacopa is a shade plant in my part of the country. It simply depends on where you live. The coconut coir basket is nice and deep so it will do a great job keeping the soil moist and its beautiful. In my non humid area I have never had a disease or insect problem when growing in coconut coir. Laura did a beautiful job with this video! There is more than one way or style to plant a basket and I love the plant combination she chose for this demo.

[@MyraMo9484]

Awesome!!

[@knowledgeworld9458]

lovely and amazing, like you.

Hi what kind fertilizer? Love your video

Very nice

muy lindas ideas gracias. se podrían subtítulos en español? que es eso que diluyen en agua? bendiciones y felicitaciones. abrazos desde Colombia

[@joimckinney9687]

Can you share where you get your coco liners? I need some thicker ones and know you will have the answer! Thank you in advance!

[@pamkrugman8991]

For fertilizer are you using a blooming and rooting?

[@LeMarais88]

What would do well in a large hanging basket around 14-16in diameter, Zone 5-6? Thanks. I've been using begonias and licorice plants but want to switch it up this year. Also looking for plants which aren't overly water hungry either.

[@mrscelopez57]

I have a liner like you do, but a little bit smaller, when I water it seems to just run right threw, do I not have enough potting soil, what am I doing wrong. Thanks for any advise you can give.

[@sweetvuvuzela4634]

mrscelopez57 put some more compost

[@gapey]

What kind of fertilizer do you use on your flowers? I don't fertilize mine even close to that much. I guess I should give them more.

[@Marrs0202]

I'd like to know too!

[@gardenanswer]

+Gapeys Grub +Marrs0202 I've used Jack's Classic, Fox Farm Grow Big/Tiger Bloom, Proven Winner's fertilizer, and have just recently started using Espomas new liquid fertilizers (the 'Start' fertilizer is amazing). I like them all! :)

[@Marrs0202]

+Garden Answer thank you, I'll make sure to try them out!

[@gapey]

Haven't tried any of those. Fox Farm sounds like a good one to try. Thanks!

I need that potato plant in my life. How cool was that?!

[@Angeegabs]

+Mark Humphreys I 100% agree. So cool!

[@isabelc5387]

+Mark Humphreys She was the first one I saw using it and I was like I love that light green color!. I made my mom a birthday arrangement using it. :) I also recently learned there's a 'coleus lime time' I really like that looks similar.

[@Angeegabs]

Isabel Carrillo It's beautiful! Is it easy to care for?

[@gardenanswer]

+Mark Humphreys They are amazing plants! There are some great dark purple and bronze colored varieties as well! :)

[@darwinmcquerter7463]

Potato plants are awesome spoilers, been using them for a few years now!

[@FinnMiaBelle]

I know this is old, but you fertilize once a week? Do you use full strength? Or dilute it because your doing it so often? And for petunia baskets, how often to fertilize? And with what strength? I use the regular miracle grow plant fertilizer. Is this ideal for petunias? I bought a more acidic fertilizer for my Norfolk Island pines (miracle grow for rodedendrones) wondering if this would be more ideal for petunias? I also will be planting a begonia and creeping Jenny basket tomorrow. What type of soil and fertilizer should I use for them? Sorry for all the questions.......I’m a noob

[@ajmalsajee9114]

Wow. Nice mam😍

[@stargarden1200]

V beautiful

[@YardeningwithAnne]

Woooow u have changed so much

[@okimike100]

Care for is so important yet I fail please tell me how often I should water them and how often should I give migro growth ?

[@BeccaL2016]

Do you put more soils into the baskets? Didn’t seem like there are enough soil?

[@nishawilson0]

Don't we have to layer coir baskets before adding soil? I have bought a coir basket but I am confused if I should add an extra layer of burlap to prevent the water from just falling off the pot.

[@Taiba736]

Nice hair colour and basket

[@thunderlord2200]

what flowers are best for inside the house?

Have had some huge tubers from my sweet potato vines... Do you know, are they edible?

Hi Laura, I was wondering if you can advise me were I can buy hanging basket pulleys. I bought 2 from Amazon and they broke today while I was watering my hanging baskets. Please help. I need heavy weight retractable pulleys. What do you use? Thank you in advise.

Some plants eventually choke other ones out. That is one thing a person has to consider when choosing plants to put together.

[@davidthedeaf]

I recommend deep one like hers, and then line with black plastic, with a few hole cut into it so it doesn’t dry out too much. Otherwise water just pours out and plants die/cook in summer.

[@fatemabayad6422]

would you please write the name of the plants you implanted in the video description .. would be helpful .. thank you for the nice demo

[@lcooperhunter]

the centerpiece is dolce blackberry ice heuchera (coral bells), (2) snowstorm blue bacopas, sweet caroline light green potato vine, frosty knight alyssum, catalina grape-a-licious torenia and a catalina white torenia.

[@PugsleySidneyShihTzus]

Lynnita Cooper is the dolce blackberry a perennial? Is that ok to plant in a basket? Do you just replant in a garden at the end of summer? Thank you!

[@antoanetawill3862]

@@PugsleySidneyShihTzus Heucheras are perennials. You can plant them in the garden.
