To create this full and lush hanging basket you need to plant in layers.

Begin with a wire basket form and line the first layer of the basket with natural coco-fibre and then add a layer of soil. Carefully push the rooted end of the first layer of plants through the wire form, resting the roots on the soil. Add another layer of coco-fibre and soil and continue building with plants until the basket is fully planted. Centre the tallest plants in the top layer.

Tip: Feed hanging planters while you water with Miracle-Gro LiquaFeed Plant Food.
