Top 10 “dangling” hanging plants

Although I love to put everything from cactus, to air plants, to flowers in our hanging macramé plant holders, they do look quite striking with a plant that has leaves that dangle down. Here are some of my favourite “dangling” plants that look great hung up. 

Tradescantia zebrina

Burros tail

This succulent needs indirect sunlight and should only be watered every 1-2 weeks when the soil is dry. 

Ivy There are many versions of ivy but in general, they like to stay on the dryer side. Water thouroughlly and let about the first inch dry out completely before watering again.

String of pearls This succulent needs indirect sunlight and should only be watered every 1-2 weeks when the soil is dry. It is super easy to propagate, just cut of a strand that’s at least a couple inches long, pluck off the pearls near the cut end and stick the strand in fast draining soil.

Chain of hearts

Heart leaf philodendron

Pitcher plant

This cool looking carniforous plant will trap bugs and keep aphids at bay.

Pilea glauca

Pothos You can pretty much find a pothos plant at any plant store. This plant is easy to care for and fast growing.

Spider plant If you keep your spider plant happy, be prepared to get lots of babies. Once the little baby offshoots grow some roots, you can cut them off the momma plant and plop it in some soil.
