Some warm-weather plants you can try are fuschias, petunias, silver falls, and geraniums. If you live in a cold climate, try ivy, ornamental sedge, winter violas, and winter heathers.

When you’re finished, the lining should cover the entire inside of the basket.

Look for a 1:2:1 fertilizer that’s low in nitrogen. Read the directions that come with the fertilizer so you know how much to use and how frequently you need to reapply it.

To secure the center plant in the basket, use your hands to dig a small hole in the potting mixture and then place the roots of the plant inside the hole.

The right size hook to use depends on how heavy your basket is. Weigh your basket and then look for a hook that can support its weight. If the basket is particularly heavy, you may need to use an anchor along with the hook. If you do not wish to drill holes in the wall, you might consider using an extendable rod which comes with preinstalled hooks or other suitable hardware. Check the weight restrictions on the packaging and follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for installation.

To mount a wall hook, place the hook against the wall and mark the screw holes with a pencil. Then, drill a pilot hole through each mark. Position the hook on the wall and drill the screws through the holes until the hook is secure.
