Make flowering baskets more beautiful

If you are on this blog and are looking to enhance the look of your trousseau made up of a plastic hanging basket set then I assure you have landed on the right blog post. I am going to detail how you can use various embellishments as well as techniques to give your hanging flower basket that Hollywood oomph! However, before we get down to the meat of this article, it is imperative that you have follow a few rules of the trade — simple but important steps in making sure that the flower basket you are about the spend all this time and effort of is going to stay around for a while.

• How many plants are in there?
  Does it follow the 1/2 per inches rule? If a basket is 6 inches in diameter, it can only hold up to three plants in a certain configuration.
• Are the layouts centered?
  The plants need to placed in concentric circles so that the growth and distribution of nutrients throughout the basket is uniform. This is essential for the longevity of your basket.
• Are the plants the same genus?
  
• Do they flower at the same time?
  
• Do they grow at the same pace?

It is extremely important that you answer those question as you don’t want to work on a basket that ends up as wasted effort due to the plants not growing right or dying out. So what is the easiest way to decorate a basket? Use other plants in there! Simply get a few sets of vines and creepers and then lay them around the basket itself. It is best to grow them out a bit in plastic storage boxes beforehand so you can work at wrapping the vines and creepers around the wires that hold the flower basket in place. Another way to make sure your basket looks great is to plant the tallest plants in the middle and the rest along the periphery as this will ensure a filled up look which is always much better than something flat.
