Why choose hanging plants?
Hanging plants offer many advantages for your interior. They save floor space, ideal for small apartments. Their trailing habit creates a spectacular cascading effect that draws the eye upward and visually enlarges the room.
When hung, your plants often benefit from better light and optimal air circulation. It is also a practical solution to protect them from pets and young children, especially if you choose non-toxic plants for animals.

How to choose the right support for your hanging plants
Choosing the right support is crucial for the success of your plant decoration. Hanging decorative pots must be suited to the weight of the plant and the style of your interior.
Macramé supports bring a bohemian touch, metal hangers an industrial style, and ceramic decorative pots a more classic look. Make sure the fixing system is sturdy and suitable for your ceiling: use anchors appropriate for the ceiling type (concrete, drywall, wood) and always test the strength before hanging your plant.
Care tips for hanging plants
Watering: Hanging plants dry out faster because warm air rises. Check the substrate moisture regularly. Lower the plant to water it or use a long-spout watering can.
Light: Place your hanging plants near a window but avoid direct sunlight that could burn the foliage. Rotate them regularly for even growth. If you lack natural light, check out our selection of shade plants.
Pruning: Regularly pinch the tips to encourage branching and achieve a denser shape. Remove yellowed or damaged leaves.
Fertilization: Apply diluted liquid fertilizer every 15 days during the growing season (spring-summer).
Where to place your hanging plants in the house
Living room: Create a focal point above a sofa or in an empty corner. Pothos, philodendrons, and monstera adansonii add a tropical touch.
Kitchen: Hang depolluting plants like ivy or philodendron near a bright window.
Bathroom: Natural humidity is perfect for ferns and pothos. Make sure there is enough light.
Bedroom: Opt for purifying plants like chlorophytum that improve air quality. If you have pets, favor non-toxic plants like peperomia or ferns.
Office: Hanging plants reduce stress and improve concentration. Choose easy species like pothos or scindapsus pictus.
Creating a hanging plant arrangement
For a spectacular effect, play with heights by hanging several plants at different levels. Mix textures: fine foliage like muehlenbeckia with broader leaves like monstera adansonii.
Combine plants with similar needs to make maintenance easier. Create a visual rhythm by repeating certain species or colors of decorative pots. Feel free to mix hanging plants and floor plants to create different levels of greenery.
Frequently asked questions about hanging plants
What is the best hanging plant for beginners?
Pothos is the ideal hanging plant for beginners. It tolerates missed waterings, adapts to different light levels, and its fast growth offers visible results quickly. The chlorophytum and the philodendron scandens are also excellent for beginners.
How often should you water a hanging plant?
The watering frequency depends on the species, temperature, and ambient humidity. Generally, water when the top 2-3 centimeters of substrate are dry. Hanging plants dry out faster than those on the ground, so check more regularly, about every 5-7 days in summer and every 10-14 days in winter. Succulents like sedum require less water.
How to securely fix a hanging plant to the ceiling?
Use a hook suitable for the ceiling type (concrete, drywall, wood). For a concrete ceiling, use a plug and a hook that can support at least 5-10 kg. For drywall, prefer special plugs like Molly anchors. Always test the strength before hanging your plant.
Do hanging plants really purify the air?
Yes, some hanging plants like pothos, chlorophytum, philodendron, ivies, and ferns have recognized air-purifying properties. They absorb volatile compounds like formaldehyde and benzene. For a noticeable effect, you need several plants in a room.
Can you put hanging plants in a dark room?
Some plants tolerate partial shade like pothos, philodendron scandens, or ivies. However, no plant survives in total darkness. If your room lacks natural light, check out our shade plants collection or consider supplemental lighting with an LED grow lamp.
How to prevent water from dripping when watering?
Use a decorative pot with an integrated saucer or take the plant down to water it in the sink or bathtub. Let it drain completely before putting it back in place. You can also water moderately and check 30 minutes later if water has accumulated in the saucer.
How long does a hanging plant live?
With proper care, most hanging plants can live for several years, even decades. Pothos, philodendron, and ivies are particularly long-lived. Repot every 2-3 years to renew the substrate and stimulate growth.
Can you propagate a hanging plant?
Absolutely! Most hanging plants root easily. Cut a 10-15 cm stem, remove the lower leaves, and place it in water or directly in soil. Pothos, tradescantia, philodendron, and ivies root within a few weeks. It's an excellent way to multiply your plants for free.
