Proper Care of Plants
Do you know that may times if your hanging flowering plants stop flowering it is most likely a result of insufficient watering?
Most hanging flowering baskets require substantial amounts of water to thrive during the hot summer months. If you can easily lift your hanging basket then it does not have enought water. This is a good rule to follow. The hanging basket should be very heavy when saturated properly. The only exception to this, that comes to mind, is geraniums. Geraniums don't require constant saturation.
If your hanging basket stops flowering, try to fertalize it, soak it repeately and give it the required amounts of sun. Within 2-3 weeks you should see new flowers beginning to bloom.
