It’s not easy being a new parent, and don’t you wish those precious bundles came with instructions? Well, they do.
I’m talking about hanging baskets, of course. I can’t help you with the other kind of parenting.
Hanging baskets are pretty easy once you get the “hang” of them. Here’s a handy summary of everything you need to know about caring for your beautiful new addition to your family.
(FYI: All combination hanging baskets are full sun)
Cleaning
Petunias need to be deadheaded in order to maintain a heavy bud count.
Trim long and stringy stalks; this will help the basket to grow bigger and fuller.
Watering
Water by weight. For example, if basket is heavy, it doesn’t need water. If the basket is light, it needs water. You can also water by the color of the soil; if it’s a light, tan color, it needs water.
Try to water at least once a day.
Make sure to fertilize your basket once a week with Jack’s Classic or Jack’s Blossom Booster.
