After a long search, I'm happy to say I've found a quality hanging planter that holds at least a bit of moisture and isn't a cheap-looking plastic! This one is really pretty and rustic-looking, and so far has held up well. The clear plastic lining is quite sturdy. I punched a few small holes in it, as I'm growing dryness-loving plants. If you are growing moisture-loving/needing plants in this, I would recommend that you put only one small hole in the bottom, and you could probably stand to add moisture crystals unless you are watering daily or you're in a cool-summer area. The wide top and shallow bottom of this design mean that it loses a lot of moisture from evaporation, and it's honestly better for plants like sedum and sempervivum that prefer a somewhat dry soil.
One note: Before I put this in the garden, I sprayed the outside multiple times with clear satin outdoor polyurethane finish. I recommend that any buyer do the same, as I think it'll add a year or two to the life of this product. I bought this along with the
Gardman R490
and
R338
baskets and hung all three of them up on a 3-hook pole, and they look simply gorgeous together -- different enough to add interest, but not so different they look random.
I noticed some have complained about the silver color of the hanging chains. I don't mind them, but if they bother you they would be easy to replace due to the way these items are constructed. Because they're metal, they could also be spray painted with Rustoleum before you put plants in.
Now if only they made these in 16" widths.....
