Looking for an easy way to brighten up your home? Hanging baskets add color and interest and bring plants to eye level.
There are many types of hanging containers available, including lined wire baskets, plastic containers, and terracotta pots.
Use a well-drained media and water as needed. Baskets outside will require more frequent watering.
Cascading plants are used most often, but can be combined with other plants, expanding your options.
Narrow-leaved bromeliads or ferns are good choices. Bright, cheery annuals like trailing vinca and ivy geraniums do well in the sun, while coleus, wax begonias, and impatiens prefer some shade.
Florida-Friendly Landscaping™ in a Minute is a production of the University of Florida’s Florida-Friendly Landscaping™ Program, IFAS Extension, and WUFT-FM in cooperation with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection.
