Calibrachoa Mix Hanging Basket

While the basket includes water-saving gel to help retain moisture, Calibrachoa prefer consistent hydration. Check the soil daily during hot, dry spells; if the top inch feels dry to the touch, it is time to water.

The basket comes pre-fertilized for season-long performance. However, because Calibrachoa are heavy feeders, you may choose to supplement with a balanced liquid fertilizer every two weeks during mid-summer to encourage even more vigorous blooming.

Calibrachoa are outdoor annuals that require high light levels and excellent air circulation to thrive. They will not perform well as indoor houseplants and should be kept on a porch, patio, or in a sunny garden spot.

Calibrachoa are generally self-cleaning, meaning they don't require heavy deadheading. If the plant looks a bit tired or leggy mid-season, a light trim can encourage new growth and a fresh flush of flowers.

As an annual, this plant is sensitive to cold temperatures. It should be placed outdoors only after the danger of frost has passed in the spring and will naturally reach the end of its life cycle once freezing temperatures arrive in the fall.
