Pad the basket's rim with vinyl tubing to protect your trailing plants from breaking its stems. To do this, cut the tubing into lengths to fit between the spaces for the hangers. Slit the tubing lengthwise with scissors or cutter then wrap it around the rim of your basket.
Place the real coconut coir husk liners, which is sometimes included when you buy hanging baskets online, in the basket and make sure that you have the ride side of the liner facing out. You can fold excess liner material over the trim. Place the water saucer inside the basket. Do not use saucers for shade baskets in damp climates for it keep the basket too moist for your plants. You can mark the liner for side planting of short trailing plants. These plants will help your baskets look beautiful and to have a grander and stunning look over time. Prepare soil mix and moisten it with water. Add soil mix to the basket, patting it down firmly but gently, until it reaches 3 inches below the rim.
Prepare the plants you wish to put in your large hanging baskets. Insert plants through the slits in the liner. Remove plants from the original container holding them by the root ball to avoid damaging the stems. Wrap the root balls in a small plastic bags to insert the plant easily from the outside. From inside the planter, pull the root ball carefully and make it sure they rest on top of the soil. Remove the plastic bag and anchor the root with soil mix. Next add soil to within an inch of the rim. Place a beautiful plant in the center and add a set of foliage into your basket. Firm the soil around the base of each plant. Attach your hangers to the rim and hang the basket outside at a place where beauty is needed the most. Make sure to firm the soil around the roots of your plants on the top layer after you water them for the very first time.
