What kind of fertilizer?

@@amapola891 h I

Thank you, glad you are learning.

We recently did do a video on making up hanging baskets here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l66IedNoz5nFpp8.htmlfeature=shared

If that works for you and your flowers are stunning, then that is what you should do. However, for the general population, if they watered like that, 90% of them will kill their baskets. That's why we preach against watering that way. We have seen and collected enough experience over decades to know that the vast majority of people get themselves into trouble by watering until it runs through.

Thanks for sharing!!

You also may need to cut back your hanging basket plants about 1/4 back to refresh it. It will look somewhat bad for a week or two but well worth it

I wouldn’t do the though till maybe July

Thank you!

Thank you!

They are outstanding

Absolutely!

Great! Thanks for watching.

Thank you!

Yes but pink overload for me

I wish I could buy my 22 baskets from his nursery 💕

@@kimjones7391 we would love that!

Thank you for watching!

Thank you.

Try spray n grow. I’ve used it since mid 80’s and the results are stunning. A family company out of Texas.

Thank you for watching!

Thanks for watching!

Most people do not, that is why we educate, whether they walk into our greenhouses or watch our videos.

@@SharkeysFloralGreenhouses If you read this reply, I have four video suggestions (based on my experience in greenhouses). 😁👋 1. More varieties with sun vs shade. Example: impatiens and coleus have sun varieties and shade varieties. What other plants have this variety so customers can pick the correct variety for sun/shade tolerances. 2. Look alikes or substitutes. You could give a list of substitutes, such as 'If you can't find plant X then here is plant Y to use as a substitute. 3. An entire video dedicated to the variety of spillers and thrillers for containers. So many people use the standard Lysimachia Creeping Jenny and Dracaena Spike because they are unfamiliar with other spillers and thrillers. 4. An entire video on beautiful foliage for containers: Coleus, Caladium, Dusty Miller, Heuchera, Persian Shield.

Everyone has their own talents.

You can do it!

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.

For sure, there are considerations.

Thanks!

Oh gosh, same here! I didn't realize the state we moved to was THIS frickin windy!!

Those with the most beautiful flowers put the time into them.

They are a great tool for someone that isn't yet confident in learning the amount of moisture that their plants need. We like this 3-in-1 moisture meter here: amzn.to/3BqBVKX

Our video on that is here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r8x-qKamvb-3iI0.html

They are pretty hardy, don't worry about it if a few stems break. They will re-grow.

Bring large enough cardboard moving boxes with small pillows to stuff around the pot for support

Look for Proven Winners Supertunia Vista Bubble gum pink. (What these look like) Feed, water, and spray for budworms. "Supertunia vistas" are vigorous growers.

Thank you. The baskets shown are all @ProvenWinners Vista Supertunias but these principles apply to all brands and series.

Right on and exactly, know your area. We give general guidelines for most of the people but there are exceptions.

It just gives a space that the excess water can collect and get out if needed. Sometimes we just pull that right out on our own baskets, which gives a little extra soil space.

Yes different areas will have to adjust somewhat, but the principle is till the same.

If it is very close to the same weather daily, then you could but with fluctuating weather you really need to take a daily approach.

@SharkeysFloralGreenhouses almost identical daily, so that is good thank you for the advice! Much appreciated

Glad you are on the right track now. Thanks for watching.

partial to shade.

@@SharkeysFloralGreenhouses thank you

We love this Rain Wand for watering: amzn.to/3MC5dvo

Sometimes we do: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p6xljJygusDcnKs.html Sometimes we don't: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b96kfdJjlpOqfac.html

The flowers shown fill in completely, but we will be doing a video addressing what to do for petunias that get bald on top.

The petunias shown are from Proven Winners, Vista series super petunias. We love them! Our Beat Your Neighbor fertilizer can be found at www.BeatYourNeighbor.com

We are in Crivitz, WI

​@@SharkeysFloralGreenhouses Explains the accent 😊 I'm from the Upper Midwest but sound almost Canadian (kinda like you) and when I first heard you talk, I thought, oh boy that's either Northern WI or da U.P. Just found you today (yes, I subbed!) and really wish I'd found you sooner. Better late than never!

Houseplants would typically take much less water than an outdoor plant.

We have that video here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b96kfdJjlpOqfac.html

Our video on calibrachoas is here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hq2VadGqrN3DYWQ.html

Yes you can.

I do all the time..They start out so full and beautiful

We have seen these Proven Winners Vista series repair themselves and look great after sheer winds and hail. They are amazing in what they can take.

Our Beat Your Neighbor fertilizer produces awesome results! You can find it at www.BeatYourNeighbor.com

They are a great tool to use for those who haven't quite learned how much water to use. We like this one here: amzn.to/3pjAmvN

No kidding, right?! But unfortunately we can't.

If you can at least let the tap water sit for a few days before watering your plants that would be helpful. Much of the city water is heavily chlorinated.

@@SharkeysFloralGreenhouses Thank you.

You can always use a moisture meter or use your finger to get an idea of the moisture content in the soil.

Yes, unfortunately "master gardener" is a title only. The real proof is in real application and most master gardeners aren't caring for hundreds of thousands of flowers like most greenhouse growers are. I personally don't know a single professional grower in our business of horticulture that is a master gardener.

Overall it is a bad habit and doesn't usually work. BUT, if that works for you and your flowers look great then do it.

Yes I was wondering that too?

Not sure on that?

Wow...fushias do not like the sun and will burn the leaves, so I would be very carefully using that method. Find it a nice shaded spot.

@@SharkeysFloralGreenhouses I researched it..they can have the morning sun..after that,I hang the basket in the shade

Right, that is tricky when they take up residence.

This has happened to me twice now, they have killed 2 hanging baskets 🤦‍♀️

To prevent birds from nesting in your hanging baskets, put some peppermint oil on a cotton ball and put it in your hanging basket when you first hang it. The birds don’t like the smell. Works like a charm.

@@suetroutman8260 great tip. Thanks!

Also, if you put hummingbird feeders and / or a faux little bird on your porch it’ll keep the other birds from building nests. As much as I love seeing nests, I’ve had trouble with mites in the past from nests. 🪺

Yes, those are the Vista series from Proven Winners.

Those are 14" baskets.

Great question. We have a video on that topic here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b96kfdJjlpOqfac.html

It's good to go ahead and transplant them. Be sure to add soil if needed.🙂

​@@SharkeysFloralGreenhouses I jiu-jitsu hoop c?bc?b?? ? ?

That's why we do these videos. Don't continue using the same habits that kill off your flowers in the long run. Your care needs to change if you want to grow beautiful flowers.

We have that video here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r8x-qKamvb-3iI0.html

If the soil goes really dry, it will do that. So you will have to water and let it absorb and then come back and fully water.

Just water to get it into the soil. We did a follow up video here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gtCmi6intJa-pKc.html

Whatever they need for 24 hours. Our watering video is here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hq6hmsmTzqy1eqs.html

Bad idea. That's over-watering right from the start. Just go ahead and plant like normal in the new container, then water everything thoroughly.

Those are Vista series super petunias from Proven Winners.

You are exactly right, there should be room for the water. Sometimes with auto filling machines it packs too much soil and does not leave that gap though.

Use the Bonide Insecticidal Super Soap for the bud worms. It can be found here: amzn.to/3ovrjaE

They will last all summer, but not as an indoor plant.

@@SharkeysFloralGreenhouses i knew THAT, lol

Just pour right thru that foliage and try to find the edge of the pot.

Use a stepladder to water.

I use a watering wand with a shower type rose. Tuck it into the foliage and turn it on gently so the soil doesn't wash out. When mine get really dry due to high heat, I actually take mine down and set the basket in a saucer or tray that will hold water. Then I water it well until the basket feels heavy and water fills the saucer. Then I let the pot sit in that saucer for half an hour to an hour to soak up what it wants then hang it back up. Very dry soil can actually become hydrophobic and repels water. So it can take time to re-wet. Watering til it comes out the bottom doesn't necessarily mean the soil absorbed the water.

Correct, unfortunately CA made it very hard for small business owners to operate in their state. We tried, but they priced us out of doing business in CA.

@@SharkeysFloralGreenhouses yes , so sorry, i love geraniums and have had two plants for10 yrs or more and bloom all year round. i will continue to watch your channel, love to see geraniums and someone who knows what they are talkinng about👍

Impatiens do drink a lot and if they are in junky soil it just compounds everything, so check that soil first and make sure impatiens are in a mostly shaded area.

No, it does cause growth but as shown in the video the baskets are full of blooms.

Get in the habit of not over-watering. When the water runs out, it is too much.

Water on top of the soil. Definitely don't dunk the hanging baskets in water.

Thank you.

Use the Bonide Insecticidal Super Soap for the bud worms. It can be found here: amzn.to/3ovrjaE

It can, it is generally not advisable to use soft water.

@@SharkeysFloralGreenhouses Thanks for info

If softener uses a salt brine its not great for your plants. If you can use potassium instead of salt, then plants will do better.

​@@SharkeysFloralGreenhouses is this true only of plants in pots? I don't have an option to water large areas with anything but water from my water softener.
