Hanging Baskets

Well, they are sort of Containers!

I have found my second hanging baskets where something looked "sick" in it and discovered the moss/coir lining had been ripped out from a section. The first was last week with an Aeschynanthus radicans (Lipstick Vine) and this morning with a
Mesembryanthemum cordifolium/Aptenia. Water was draining out unnoticed.

Sneaky birds collecting nesting.

 

I have used this one for years.

 

Very pretty. What liner are you using?

 

I've had the same problem on the balcony! I used to line the 5 hanging baskets with coir lining but the birds pulled a lot of it out!

 

A few years ago the blackbirds nicked all my Spanish moss, (Tillandsia usenoides), for nesting material.
They dont care if it looks useful, they will take it.

 

there is no liner.

 

Now I use the plastic bags the compost comes in!

 

I remedied the Lipstick one by using a used J-Cloth and the Aptenia one I managed to spread the coir out to fill the gap.
