Calibrachoa Planting Tips:
–Plant outside in mid-late spring after all danger of frost is past.
–Place potting mix in a hanging basket or container. Remove purchased plants from the pots they were sold in (usually 4-inch or quart size) and gently tease the roots out if plants are pot-bound. Place 6-12 inches apart and firm soil around the base. Water well to thoroughly wet the plant and settle the soil around it.
–Grow them in containers or hanging baskets, by themselves or in combination with other plants. Make sure your containers have drainage holes. They can be planted in bedding displays providing soil is well amended, with good drainage, but perform best in pots.
