Drip-Free Hanging Baskets: A Denver Innovation for Apartment Living

The hanging containers at Denver Pavilions dazzle summer visitors with lush, dramatic plantings—yet never leak a drop. Designed by Western Proscapes, these 130 pots use nonporous plastic that retains moisture far longer than clay, and they have no drainage holes. That makes them ideal for apartment dwellers who can't risk drips onto balconies below.

Construction & Planting

• Pot size: 20-inch diameter, 24 inches deep.
• Medium: Bottom half filled with perlite; top half with peat-based mix plus 5% sand.
• Placement: Wrought-iron collars bolted to railings.
• Sun/Shade: Plant palettes vary by exposure.

Maintenance

• Irrigate every 2–3 days to prevent water pooling.
• Feed with liquid fertilizer every 10 days.

Pots are made by Riverside Plastics in various shapes and colors. Order with or without drainage holes through Simple Gardens (800-351-2438).
