Watering
Watering kit for hanging baskets - long-reach watering cans, drip irrigation and self-watering upgrades that keep summer displays alive without the ladder.
About our watering
Ask anyone who has kept a planted basket through July: the watering is the job. A basket in full sun can drink daily, it lives above head height, and the water has a talent for going everywhere except the compost. This collection exists to make that job smaller. A long-reach watering can for hanging baskets - narrow spout, angled neck - waters a basket from the ground without a stool, a stretch or a soaked sleeve. Our drip irrigation for hanging baskets goes further: a slim feeder line runs discreetly up the wall to each basket and delivers a slow trickle on a timer, which is the difference between coming home from a week away to a thriving display or a crisp one. Self-watering inserts and reservoir gel mats retrofit into existing baskets, stretching the gap between waterings by days. And if the whole rota has lost its charm, our artificial displays retire it completely. Watering system for hanging baskets, sorted - whichever level of sorted you want. Free UK delivery over £20, money-back guarantee as standard.
Watering - FAQs
How does drip irrigation for baskets work?
A thin supply line runs from an outdoor tap (via a timer) up to a small dripper pegged into each basket. The timer waters little and often - typically a few minutes morning and evening in summer - with no effort from you.
What makes a watering can right for hanging baskets?
Reach and control. A long, narrow spout angled upward gets water into a basket above head height without a stepladder, and a fine flow means it soaks in rather than sheeting off the top.
Do self-watering inserts really help?
Yes - a reservoir insert or gel mat stores water at the base and feeds it back as compost dries, typically stretching watering gaps from daily to every two or three days in warm weather.
