Description
Bloem 13″ Hanging Basket Terra Cotta is a modern planter beautifully designed as a self watering planter that combines elegance and simplicity. It’s constructed from UV-protected durable plastic, which requires less effort to maintain healthy, growing plants. Each of the baskets is supplied with a matching hanger for easy installation.
Design and Materials
Here is an overview of the basket’s build and style:
Sleek, Simple Style
The 13″ Basket with smooth rim and clean lines will fit in with décor styles. It evokes traditional clay pots, but it’s lightweight and thus easier to move when empty.
Tough, Weather-Ready Plastic
Frost or sun won't chip or fade in 100% resin. It looks new on a patio or in a sunny room.
Self-Watering System
How the bottom-up design saves time and helps plants grow.
Bottom-Up Watering
Instead of pouring water on top, the planter holds water in a lower chamber. Roots grow down to get what they need, encouraging stronger root systems.
Less Frequent Watering
Each fill can last several days, depending on what type of plant and the local weather. Busy gardeners (or travelers) will enjoy the convenience.
How to Use and Care
Easy hanging basket care and maintenance tips include:
Installation
- Run the macramé cord through the holes in the planter.
- Hang a metal ring from a safe hook or beam.
- Hang the basket to level, then fill it with soil and plants.
Refilling the Reservoir
A small watering can with a narrow spout works well. Fill the fill hole with water until the water level is to the line marked. Inspect weekly and refill when necessary.
Cleaning
Wipe the outside with a wet cloth. For a deep cleaning, the user can also flush the basin and drainage holes with a garden hose to remove any hidden dirt.
Applications
This item is great for indoor or outdoor use:
Indoor Spaces
It's perfect in the kitchen or sunroom. When space is minimal and the light level can be controlled, grow herbs, small ferns, or trailing vine vegetables.
Outdoor Areas
Hang on porches, decks, or garden pillars. The all-weather design withstands rain, sun, and temperature changes, and the plants remain healthy and shining.
Environmental Benefits
Here is how this planter supports greener gardening:
- Water Conservation: Holds water near the roots and reduces the risk of overwatering and underwatering.
- Recyclable Material: The resin plastic is 100% recyclable to help reduce landfill waste.
Plant Suggestions and Tips
Tips for selecting and maintaining plants are:
- Best Plant Types: Petunias, ferns, herbs and small succulents all do great in 13″ of depth. They also have room to mature without shoehorning.
- Soil and Fertilizer: Use a high-quality potting mix for good drainage. Use a slow-release fertilizer at planting and follow every 4–6 weeks through the water reservoir with a water-soluble form.
- Light Conditions: Choose plants based on their light requirements. Place shade-loving varieties in bright, indirect light, and flowering plants in a location that receives a few hours of sun.
