Babyllon Bowl Easy Planting Instructions
-
Take 12 three or four inch plants out of their pots. Over one inch layer of potting soil/compost slide six fully rooted plants down between the Babyllon Bowl basket slats using every other space. Keep the roots to the center and the flowers or leaves to the outside.
-
Fill the other six empty spaces with long strand sphagnum moss. Add more soil and fertilizer to the hole in the center before starting the next row.
-
For the next layer, place a plant above each space that had moss the first time. Angle the flowers up at about a 45-degree angle to begin to form the ball shape.
-
Continue filling every other space (above moss) with another six of your 3" plants and then go back and fill the empty six spaces with moss.
-
Now add more soil and fertilizer to the hole in the center. Plant the top of the basket with 1-3 plants and surround them with moss as you did with all the other plant. This finishes your Babyllon Bowl basket and creates the domed shape that now looks like a ball of flowers. |

|
When you water the basket, the moss transports moisture to the roots where it is needed because the moss surrounds all the roots. The domed shape of the top also helps to retain moisture and reduce evaporation better than in any flat top container where the top surface dries out more quickly. |
