As spring gardens begin to bloom, Down to Earth Living is offering expert advice to help homeowners keep hanging flower baskets healthy and vibrant throughout the season.

The Pomona garden center recommends choosing sturdy baskets with proper drainage and selecting plants suited to the location’s sunlight and temperature. Popular choices include petunias, geraniums, fuchsias, flowering vinca, ivy, and bacopa.

Proper watering is key, experts say. Soil should be checked regularly and watered thoroughly while allowing full drainage to prevent overwatering. Regular fertilizing, pruning, and deadheading can also encourage fuller growth and continuous blooms.

The garden center also advises homeowners to monitor baskets for pests and disease, improve air circulation, and trim leggy growth to maintain healthy plants.

“With proper watering, feeding, and a little attention, hanging baskets can stay full and vibrant for months,” said Stuart Leventhal of Down to Earth Living. “They’re a simple way to create impact in any outdoor space, and they make especially meaningful gifts for Mother’s Day.”

Down to Earth Living also encourages customers to bring photos or inspiration images for personalized gardening guidance. The store’s expanded indoor plant showroom is now open for the spring season, and free repotting is available with the purchase of a plant or pot.
