Austram 15-inch Coco Fiber Hanging Basket 2-Pack — Oversize Natural Planters, Ready-to-Hang

Handmade in Colombia from woven coconut coir, this Austram 2-pack gives you oversized, all-natural hanging planters that arrive complete with straps and a brass ring. Each basket has a single-piece coco fiber body (no metal cage or removable liner) and includes a small polyethylene disc at the base to reduce drip and help retain moisture. With a 14-inch bowl diameter, 6-inch depth and a 20-inch strap drop, these baskets are sized for statement hanging displays on porches, pergolas, balconies or indoor sunrooms.

How do these hanging baskets withstand outdoor weather and repeated use?

The baskets are crafted from durable, naturally rot-resistant coco fiber that keeps its bowl shape without a wire frame. Because the body is sewn as one integrated piece, there’s no rusting metal or sagging liner to replace over time. The olive webbing straps attach to a brass ring that resists corrosion, so the hanger hardware stays reliable outdoors.

• One-piece coco fiber construction avoids rust and sagging.
• Hand-stitched seams by artisans for reinforced edges.
• Brass ring and sturdy olive webbing straps for weather resistance.

Do I need additional parts or prep before hanging these planters?

No special tools or assembly are required — the baskets come ready to hang with straps and brass ring already attached. For outdoor planting, fill with potting mix and plants then hang from a hook, chain, or beam. For indoor use, line the bowl with a plastic liner or drop in a potted plant to protect floors from any residual moisture.

• Ships assembled: straps and brass ring pre-attached.
• Outdoor use: fill with soil and plants; hang immediately.
• Indoor use: add a plastic liner or place a potted plant inside to catch moisture.

How does the design help with watering and plant health?

A hidden PE foil disc at the bottom slows runoff so water stays in the soil longer between waterings, reducing waste. The breathable coco fiber wall allows excess moisture to escape gradually, preventing waterlogging while supporting good root aeration. These combined features create a balanced moisture environment for many trailing and flowering species.

• PE foil disc reduces drip and conserves soil moisture.
• Breathable coco fiber encourages healthy root oxygenation.
• Large bowl capacity accommodates deeper root systems and richer potting mixes.

What plants work best in these oversize hanging baskets?

The 14-inch diameter and ample depth make these baskets ideal for cascading, trailing, or densely planted arrangements. They suit petunias, fuchsias, Boston ferns, sweet potato vine, mixed annuals, and compact herb groupings. Because you get two baskets, you can create symmetry at an entrance or a layered display across a balcony or pergola.

• Trailing annuals: petunias, calibrachoa, lobelia.
• Foliage plants: Boston ferns, ivy, sweet potato vine.
• Herb combos or mixed flower arrangements for fuller displays.

Choose them if you value handmade craftsmanship, need oversized bowls for fuller plantings, or want durable outdoor planters that avoid metal cages and liners.
