About the pkanters
I have hanging flowers in a bag on a tree with petunias!! It dries out so fast. I water it very slowly, I tried the slow drip with a plastic bottle that didn’t work!! They look beautiful but a lot of patients. I did but together the plastic bags and inserted cubes of floral foam and that helps a lot. I live in SC so I guess that’s part of the problem intense heat!!
thank you

Those hanging bags of petunias do look beautiful hanging on a tree! You are right--the intense heat makes all planters dry out fast and when you consider that the bag is hanging you know that the water just keep flowing downward and out of the bag. I think it's just going to be a matter of watering frequently and enjoying the pretty flowers!
Thank you. That’s what I do. For a while it was holding great but hitting 90 and above sometimes three times a day and very slowly.
