1: Sunshine:



Follow the tagged information for what type of sun the Bloomer should get. Even Shade baskets need some sun to keep blooming strong.

2: Water:



This is among the most important of the instructions. In the hot summer, baskets and planters get thirsty and need to be given a drink every day (sometimes twice if it is really hot). You can check to see if your Bloomer is dry by putting your finger in the soil. 

The shade loving Bloomers don't need as much water if they are in the right location.  Make sure to check them before you water, because it is possible to water them too much.

3: Fertilize:



Baskets and Planters are not in the ground, and need this boost to stay healthy. An all purpose mix should do the trick.  We use fertilizers that you water into the Bloomer.  This kind of fertilizer is easy and widely available.

4: Pruning:



Don't hesitate to give your Baskets and Planters a hair-cut. Trimming back old growth leads to new growth, and a fuller Bloomer.  When, how much, and how often you cut them is a matter of taste, but don't be afraid that you are going to hurt the plants.  They are surprisingly resilient.
