Solution to hanging basket dripping on tiles

squirral87k4-WvGwT

I have some hanging baskets lined with compost bags and coco liner. With holes for drainage. 

Does anyone have a solution to prevent water dripping out of hanging baskets when watering? The tiles beneath are white and it causes such a mess. 

I thought about incorporating a saucer inside the basket… between the compost liner and coco liner….but worried that may cause the plant to rot …

plastic hanging baskets seem to be the solution. They just don’t look great…

Use less water at each watering, but water more often.  It will be trial and error to find the amount you can water without it draining out the bottom.

Stand another plant in a pot underneath or even just an empty bucket to catch any water so it can be reused.

Or just take the basket off the hook and place it over a bucket to give it a good soak before hanging back up again.  You don't need to submerse it, the bucket is just there to balance the rounded bottom and to catch the excess.  Then dump the water over your plants elsewhere.

I use self-watering plastic hanging baskets, they don’t drip. Probably not very helpful as you already have your baskets planted, but maybe as a general information for future projects.
