I like to double duty. Hang one basket and put another basket under it. water and let the top drain into the bottom. then switch them and water again. this way it take half the time to water and your not wasting waster. I wish I could grow such beautiful baskets. Thx.

A lot of times the baskets die because they are not being properly watered, not over watered. The best way to water baskets and some pots that never seem to get watered thoroughly is to actually soak them in a big bucket of water until all the air bubbles are gone then give them five more minutes of soak time. Make sure the bucket is big enough for the water to cover the plant.

Oh my word. The nutritious hanging basket just make me spit out my coffee I laughed so hard. Why? Because that sounds like me on camera. That's what happens when you start the sentence too awkward to pull it off so you just stick with it. "You can tell this is a very...." uh oh, I already came into this with that opening sentence so instead of starting over and saying "no wait, you can tell this hanging basket has had plenty of nutrition", just gonna role with the original sentence and say "you can tell this is a very..... um...nutritious hanging basket." 😂 YEP. That is what just happened. 😂

I buy four baskets a year and kill at least two of them. I will try the flower food. My baskets were beautiful like these and then dead soon after. I water daily which I thought was good.

Yup. But I can't do that. I live in 3rd floor condo(more like an apartment) with a wood deck balcony. The water will run down on the my neighbor below. Maybe I can make a removable extension pole I can use to water & re-hang when it is done dripping this year. I also hear you need to fertilize them twice a week. Is this true?

Proven Winners always suggests to fertilize every third watering for plant fullness. Just be careful you water it slowly in spring, and everyday during the summer, and check the soil for drieness during fall. Wind causes soil to dry out faster on hanging plants. I only use proven winners water soluable fertilizer I'm afraid of burning the plants using any other fertilizer.

nice video, thanks! I have a couple questions. 1) How often should Supertunia's be fertilized (fed the plant food)? I have an organic plant food and I've been feeding mine once every 10 days (as the package says to) and my plants do not look nearly as good as yours. 2) Can I overwinter my hanging basket Supertunias? I live in upstate NY but could bring my hanging basements into the basement... if I cut them back some and put them on a box with gravel base to keep them humid would they survive over winter?

can you tell me the name of the food that you are using. I have mini petunias and is June only in Chicago and they are getting "woody' inside. I don't know what to do to keep them for this summer. Do you think I should cut them a little. Any answer will help. Thanks
@deepestblue8458 жыл бұрын
Hello there! I don't know if yours are planted in a baskets or in-ground but I'll give you some advice. I am in MI and have failed every single year in maintaining my hanging Supertunia baskets (mini petunias), had the same issues as you. This year I did some research and have had tremendous success watering the heck out of each baskets and following up immediately using Jacks Petunia Feed (it usually comes in a 25-40LB bag but the 1-4LB smaller sizes are available on eBay!) Optionally you can use Miracle Gro Bloom Booster 10-52-10. (they don't seem to have this particular version in stores, you can get it online). My baskets look even fuller with blooms than the ones in this video all by doing 3 things daily: 1) make sure your baskets have at LEAST half a day of direct sun, morning or later afternoon, either is fine. 2) Water each basket very generously until water literally runs out freely from the bottom, if you are hand watering I'd say use at least 2 gallons of water for each basket. 3) After the water has stopped dripping (about 15 mins after the initial watering) add about 1/2 a gallon of water pre-mixed with one of the fertilizers mentioned above. I've been doing this every day since May and I have neighbors knocking on my door asking me what the heck I am feeding my petunias. Best of luck!

I live in South Carolina where the thunderstorms can sneak up on you in the summer. This makes me have to deal with overwatering my PW petunias. I have wilted buds that don’t bloom I can only guess that it’s overwatering since there’s no critters doing damage. So here’s my question. Since I have messed up the watering cycle would it be recommended that I remove the plant from the hanging basket and perhaps let the bottom dry out a little bit?
