Hanging basket plants neither thrive well in direct sunlight outdoor in harsh summers nor in low lights areas indoor. The best condition for hanging basket plants to thrive well is semi-shade areas outdoor and bright lit areas indoor.
When it comes to feeding, hanging basket plants enjoy liquid fertilizers. Many people just water plants and expect them to grow healthier and bushier but as we need food for proper growth and development, likewise plant also require the same.
Most essential nutrients are Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P) and Potassium (K). You may go for 19:19:19 NPK, EPSOM SALT, MONO AMMONIUM PHOSPHATE 2-3 g per Liter of water every 10 days alternately. This will promote foliage growth and overall plant development to fulfill their basic needs.
Another important activity that should be brought into practice is proper misting or spraying foliage with water using spray bottle. Most of the house plant need humidity to maintain their shine and proper growth. Regular spraying of water and avoiding plant from keeping them under fan will help in maintaining humidity indoor.
