A Massive Hanging Basket Planted in Just Minutes!

A beautiful and bountiful sky of Plantopia hanging baskets soaking in the sun to blossom into a booming ball of colorful eye candy

Side ‪#‎planting‬produces massive results. It's the professional's secret to create massive displays. Typically, holes would need to be drilled or cut in a moss basket to allow for plants to grow out the side. Plantopia was invented by a grower to make this process amazingly simple!  With pop out panels, side planting is easy! 


The 6 to 8 removable panels allow for a plug to slide right in. Snap the panel right back in after setting the plug onto a base of soil in the pot to secure it. Repeat around the sides and then add potting soil. Top off the basket by placing a variant of different plants, flowers, herbs, fruits or veggies on the top. Make sure it gets the proper amount of sunlight and water - then watch it grow into a massive hanging basket. The whole process takes only minutes.

NOTE: The basket pictured in the video is essentially our 14" version though slightly different. The U.K. model in the video has open gates to allow for more wind penetration to balance the moisture in the basket which is more necessary due to the more humid climate there. In the U.S., with generally less humid climates, the gates are closed to increase moisture retention. The U.K. version also has 12 gates as opposed to the U.S/Canada version having 8 gates. The 8 gates produce the same booming results but you don't have to use as many plants to fill it!

It's not too early to plan your Mother's Day gift

There are few if any people more important on Earth than your Mother. She raised you, nurtured you, supported you and loved you from the very moments your eyes began to soak in the sun's light. Really, there is no way to adequately express appreciation for the unconditional love and sacrifice spent over your lifetime.

The best gifts, I've found, have no cash value or cannot be bought in a store. The gift I'm referring to is time. Spending time - from a dinner and a movie to an afternoon hanging out just the two of you - is probably the most precious gift a child can provide to their mother; especially once you've reach adulthood and the amount of time spent with one another gets reduced substantially due to your newfound responsibilities as an adult, perhaps a parent too.

Another way to express appreciation is to tap into your creative self and invest some time, effort and energy into a specialized gift. This can be a difficult even daunting task especially in the day and age where many things are put off until the last minute. Counting on the two-day shipping of Amazon prime or the extended hours of many retailers to try and find that perfect gift among the thousands and thousands of options available can lead to finding that "special" gift. However, doing this seems to be checking off a box on a list rather than an expression of appreciation. There are other options.

Customized pictures, a thoughtful and creative way that will last beyond the moment. Another option is Plantopia - a wonderful DIY hanging basket. Plantopia makes creating a professional looking hanging basket an easy reality for even the amateur gardener. Imagine, spending the time to create a special, customized professional-looking hanging basket for Mom. She'll tumble over with joy - it'll bring back the nostalgia of hanging your old art projects on the fridge. She'll boastfully hang it for all to see and you would've found a way to really express appreciation through the time, effort and energy you spent into this specialized gift. 
How do you do it? Well, that's what You Tube is for. 
Here's a great video on how to use Plantopia: 

Now, where can you buy Plantopia? It's available on many e-tailers. Here are some options:

SIDE PLANTING = MASSIVE RESULTS!

Ever wonder how professional growers achieve massive globe-effect hanging baskets? The secret is planting out the sides. In the past, the only way to do so was to drill holes or fumble with moss to try and squeeze a plant through the sides. This is not only labor intensive, but without an advanced green thumb, the success rate of getting something to be proud about left a lot to be desired. So ditch the moss, and grow your own hanging basket with booming results with ease!

Plantopia was designed by a grower to reduce the amount labor and increase the amount of success in achieving jaw-dropping results. Use up to a 4" plug in a Plantopia for faster results as well!













Check back here for more Plantopia recipes and ideas to grow phenomenal looking baskets that will leave your neighbors gushing enviously at your green thumb creation!

Grow Your Own Food With Plantopia

In a time where the organic gardening and food movement is at an all-time high, people are shopping with more pointed lists and paying attention to more details about what kinds of food they're consuming each day. From GMO's to Gluten-Free, from All-Natural to Wholesome, sifting through the jargon can be a full-time task to finally find some food that is undoubtedly good for you. Tracking which company uses what chemicals and which food brands utilize various terminology and lingo to tweak their message and what gets hidden in the fine print, multi-syllabic vocabulary and clever packaging can make finding something actually good for you harder than finding Waldo in the dark. Depending on where you live, gardening can be a fairly sustainable way to complement your food purchases and you certainly don't have to put on the B.S. filter for yourself if you've grown your own food to know what you're eating.




However, not everyone has access to a garden space or has a green thumb to determine a layout or means to setup their own garden. While planting seeds and doing the follow up to ensure that they're watered and receiving sunlight is not overly daunting, sometimes to get the space in the backyard to garden can be quite the arduous task. A quick project could turn into a weed pulling contest not to mention dealing with the critters who could easily invade your space. Is there a more efficient way to grow your own food? The answer is yes!

Plantopia hanging baskets allow you to grow fruits, herbs and vegetables. Use our 14" basket for tomatoes or strawberries. Our 12" version is great for herbs or lettuce. Go crazy with different ideas such as a salsa basket by including tomatoes, jalapenos and cilantro! Plantopia hanging baskets are available online at the follow retailers:
