ADD SOME FLARE TO YOUR GARDEN

At InStyle Succulents we mainly focus on pot planting, but hanging baskets are a wonderful way to enjoy your succulents at eye level and green up vacant areas. Succulents are the best choice, as hanging baskets can be pretty brutal environments for plants to grow; They’re often hot, dry, and vulnerable to wind. Ensure you use a quality potting mix such as Searles Cacti & Succulent Mix to give them the best chance, and fertilise with Searles Flourish Cacti & Succulent Plant Food. Spreading succulents are best, as they grow very quickly, and will trail down the sides to soften your basket edge. We have a huge selection of Spreading succulents that would all be wonderful choices, but here’s a few favourites to get you started.
