Revitalize Your Indoor Space with Suspended Flower Pots

In the quest for a touch of natural beauty in your home, hanging plants have become a popular choice for many. These leafy trailers not only add a lush, green element to your living space but also thrive in the indoor environment. Here's a rundown of some of the most popular hanging plants and how to care for them.

The Devil’s Ivy (Epipremnum aureum) is a favourite among German homeowners. Known for its heart-shaped green-yellow leaves, this plant is easy to maintain, requiring evenly moist soil and moderate temperatures around 18-25°C. It's also known for its ability to thrive in low light conditions.

The Manjula Pothos, with its stunning heart-shaped leaves splashed with white, yellow-green, and cream, is another popular choice. However, it's essential to note that this plant is toxic to pets and small children.

The Mini Adam Ivy, a ground-creeping woody plant, is almost effortless to grow. Its leaves are gray-green with silvery shifts, making it an elegant addition to any indoor space.

The Little Swiss Monstera, with its dramatic foliage featuring large holes reminiscent of Swiss cheese, is another unique choice.

For those who prefer a plant with more vibrant colours, the Philodendron Brasil offers heart-shaped leaves with flashes of yellow and chartreuse in the center. The Cebu Blue Pothos features silvery-blue shiny leaves with long, trailing vines, while the Nanouk Tradescantia boasts purplish-green foliage with pinkish stripes.

When it comes to light requirements, the Nanouk Tradescantia grows best in bright, indirect light, while the Hoya compacta, or Hindu Rope plant, prefers a partially shady to bright spot with indirect light. The Alsobia plant, a beautiful perennial succulent, loves bright, indirect light as well.

To hang your plants from the ceiling, you'll need metal hooks, a planter, a small wicker basket, a macrame plant hanger, and your plants of choice. First, drill a hole in the ceiling with a 5/8-inch drill bit, making sure to hold the drill firmly to avoid cracking and damaging the ceiling. Install the hook, then assemble the macrame plant hanger to hold the planter or wicker basket.

Arrange the potted plant so its foliage trails past the sides of the basket. Fill a planter halfway with potting soil or soil mix before planting the hanging plant.

Lastly, remember that each plant has its unique care requirements. The Manjula Pothos, for example, needs to avoid direct sunlight, while the Nanouk Tradescantia should be watered regularly to avoid drying the soil. The Alsobia plant should not be overwatered, and the Hoya compacta prefers to dry out slightly between waterings.

With these tips in mind, you're now ready to bring some lush, hanging greenery into your home and enjoy the benefits of these beautiful, easy-to-care-for plants.
