Life isn’t always easy if you are growing in a hanging basket. Flowering plants put huge energy into their summer display, but there are only so many nutrients available to them in the limited soil. They need a helping hand. To give the plants what they need, it is advisable to feed baskets weekly with a liquid fertilizer.
When it comes to identifying the best fertilizer for hanging baskets in the summer, those sold as a ‘bloom booster’ or a tomato feed are the two top options. This is because they are high in phosphorus and potassium, which encourage flowering, and they come in liquid form to deliver nutrients fast.
