24 Hanging Plant Ideas That Save Floor Space
One spring morning I looked at my windowsill and I just laughed. There was no room left for one more pot.
I had pots lined up in a row, and a few more squeezed behind them. The light was good there, but the space was gone. I knew I had to find a new spot for my plants, and the only way left was up.
That is when hanging plants changed everything for me. I started with one small hanger by the window, and soon I had green leaves hanging in every room.
You do not need a big house for this. You do not need a lot of money either. A hook, a hanger, and a plant you love is enough to start.
I made a few mistakes at first. I hung one plant too high and I forgot to water it for weeks. I hung another one where the sun hit it too hard, and its leaves went pale.
But I learned fast, and now my hanging plants are the happiest plants I own. They get good light, they stay out of the way, and they make each room feel fresh and calm.
In this one post I share all 24 hanging plant ideas that save floor space, so you can pick the ones you love and try them in your own home.
1. Macrame Hangers by the Window

I bought my first macrame hanger at a small market, and I still have it today.
It was cream colored and soft, with long knots that held a small clay pot. I hung it by the window in my living room, and it looked so pretty in the morning light. My plant seemed happy there too, with its leaves reaching toward the sun.
You can find macrame hangers in lots of colors now.
White and cream are my favorites, but I have also seen soft green and warm brown ones that look lovely. Pick a color that fits your room, and do not worry about it being perfect. A simple hanger with a healthy plant beats a fancy one every time.
I like to hang mine at eye level, so I can see the plant when I sit down. If it hangs too high, I forget to water it, and that is never good.
Try a small trailing plant first if you are new to this. It will grow down over the sides of the pot, and it looks so soft and full after a few months.
Make sure the hook you use is strong. I always give my hanger a good tug before I trust it with a pot full of soil and water.
You can make your own macrame hanger too, if you like to craft. I tried once, and mine came out a bit uneven, but I loved it anyway. It had charm, and my plant did not mind one bit.
Start with one hanger by a bright window. Once you see how lovely it looks, you will want a second one, and then a third.
2. A Ceiling Hook for a Trailing Pothos

A trailing pothos is one of the easiest plants you can grow, and it loves to hang from the ceiling.
I have one in my living room, and its long vines now reach almost to the floor. It started as a tiny cutting in a glass of water, and now it is the plant I get the most compliments on. People always ask how I keep it so full and green.
The secret is a good ceiling hook, and the right spot. I picked a spot near the window but not right in the harsh sun. Pothos likes bright light, but it does not like to bake all day.
You need to know what kind of hook to buy, so here is a simple guide to the three I have used.
| Hook Type | Typical cost |
|---|---|
| Screw-in ceiling hook | $3 to $8 |
| Swag hook | $5 to $12 |
| Heavy-duty plant hook | $8 to $18 |
A simple screw-in ceiling hook costs $3 to $8, and it works fine for a small or medium pot. A swag hook costs $5 to $12, and I like it because it lets the plant hang a little out from the wall. A heavy-duty plant hook costs $8 to $18, and that is the one I use for my biggest, heaviest pots.
Always screw the hook into a ceiling beam if you can. I learned this the hard way when a hook in plain plaster pulled out one night, and I woke up to soil all over the floor.
Water your pothos when the top of the soil feels dry. I stick my finger in about an inch, and if it feels dry, I water it. If it feels damp, I wait a few more days.
Trim the vines now and then to keep the plant full. I snip the long ends and put them in water, and in a few weeks they grow roots. Then I have a new plant to share with a friend, and that always makes me smile.
A ceiling hook is a small change, but it frees up a whole shelf or table below. That is why I love it so much, and why I tell every plant lover I know to try one.
3. Hanging Planters in the Kitchen

My kitchen used to have no plants at all, and it felt a bit plain.
Then I hung two small planters near the window above my sink, and the whole room changed. Now I wash dishes with green leaves right in front of me, and it makes a boring chore feel a lot nicer.
Herbs do so well in hanging planters in the kitchen. I have basil in one and mint in another, and I snip a few leaves when I cook. Fresh herbs taste so much better than the dried ones from a jar, and I love that they are right there when I need them.
Pick a spot that gets light but stays out of your way. I hung mine high enough that I never bump my head, but low enough that I can reach them to water.
Use light pots in the kitchen, because you will take them down often to water and trim. Heavy clay pots look lovely, but they get tiring to lift up and down every week.
I put a small tray under each planter to catch drips. It saves my counter from water spots, and it keeps the floor dry too.
If your kitchen is small, one hanging planter is enough to make it feel alive. You do not need a whole row of them to see a difference.
Try a trailing plant too, if you have room. Its leaves will hang down soft and green, and it will make your kitchen feel like a cozy little garden.
I water my kitchen plants once a week, and I check them when I cook. It has become a small habit I look forward to, and my plants thank me for it.
4. A Plant Shelf with Hooks Underneath

This is one of my favorite ideas, because it gives you two kinds of plant space in one spot.
You put pots on top of the shelf, and you hang more plants from hooks underneath it. I have one in my hallway, and it holds five plants in a space that used to hold none at all.
I found my shelf at a secondhand shop, and it was plain wood with three small hooks under it. I sanded it a little, painted it white, and hung it on the wall. It took me one afternoon, and it still looks great years later.
Put the plants that need the most light on top of the shelf. Then hang the ones that like a little shade underneath, where the shelf gives them some cover from the sun.
Make sure the shelf is fixed to the wall really well. I used strong wall plugs, because a shelf full of pots gets heavy fast, especially after watering.
I like to mix pot sizes on my shelf. A tall plant on one end, a small one in the middle, and a hanging one underneath makes it look full without looking messy.
This shelf works in almost any room. I have seen one in a bedroom, one in a bathroom, and one in a home office, and each one looked lovely in its own way.
Keep a small watering can nearby, so it is easy to care for all the plants at once. I keep mine on the shelf itself, and it reminds me to water on the same day each week.
If you are short on floor space, this shelf is a smart fix. It uses wall space you already have, and it turns a blank wall into a green little display.
5. Hanging Plants in the Bathroom

My bathroom was the last room I thought of for plants, and now it is one of my favorites.
The steam from a warm shower makes the air moist, and lots of plants love that. My fern has never looked better than it does hanging in my bathroom, with its soft green leaves full and fresh.
I hung it from a hook on the ceiling, near the window but not right over the bath. It gets soft light there, and the steam reaches it every morning.
Pick plants that like humidity for the bathroom. Ferns are a great choice, and so are pothos and spider plants. They grow well in warm, damp air, and they do not mind a bit of shade.
Use a hook that will not rust. I learned this after my first hook went rusty in a few months, and I had to replace it. A coated or stainless hook lasts much longer in a bathroom.
Keep the plant where it will not get splashed with soap or shampoo. I hang mine a little to the side of the shower, and that keeps it safe and clean.
Water bathroom plants less often than your other plants. The damp air keeps their soil moist longer, so I check the soil first and only water when it feels dry.
A hanging plant makes a small bathroom feel fresh and calm. It softens the hard tiles and the plain walls, and it turns a plain room into a little retreat.
Start with one plant in your bathroom, and see how it does for a month. If it grows well, you will know the spot is right, and you can add a second one if you like.
6. A Hanging Herb Garden by the Window

I love cooking with fresh herbs, and a hanging herb garden by the window makes it so easy.
I have three small pots hanging in a row by my kitchen window. One has basil, one has mint, and one has parsley. When I cook, I just reach up and snip what I need, and the smell is so fresh and lovely.
Herbs need a lot of light to grow well, so a sunny window is the best spot. My herbs get morning sun, and they grow fast in spring and summer.
Use small pots with good drainage, because herbs do not like wet feet. I always check that each pot has a hole at the bottom, and I put a small tray under it to catch drips.
Label each pot, so you know what is what. I wrote the names on small wooden sticks, and they look cute poking out of the soil. It also helps when friends come over and ask what I am growing.
Water your herbs when the top of the soil feels dry, and do not overwater. I water mine every few days in summer, and less in winter when they grow slower.
Pinch the tops of your herbs often, because it helps them grow bushy instead of tall and thin. I pinch mine every week, and I use the cuttings in my cooking, so nothing goes to waste.
A hanging herb garden also saves counter space, which I need for chopping and cooking. My counters stay clear, and my herbs stay happy up by the window.
If you are new to herbs, start with basil and mint. They grow fast, they smell wonderful, and they forgive a few mistakes while you learn.
7. Hanging Planters Above the Desk

I work at my desk most days, and a hanging plant above it makes the whole space feel better.
I have one small planter hanging to the side of my desk, where it does not block my light or my screen. Its leaves hang down soft and green, and I catch sight of it when I look up from my work. It helps me feel calm on busy days.
Pick a spot that is out of your way but still easy to see. I hung mine high on the wall, so it never gets in the way of my books or my laptop.
Choose a plant that does not drop leaves all the time. I learned this after my first desk plant dropped dry leaves onto my keyboard every week, and I had to clean it up all the time. A pothos or a spider plant is a much better choice.
Keep the pot light, because you will need to take it down to water it. I use a small plastic pot inside a pretty hanger, and it is easy to lift down and put back up.
Water it over the sink, not over your desk. I take mine down once a week, water it in the kitchen, let it drain, and then hang it back up. It takes five minutes, and my desk stays dry.
A plant above your desk can help you focus too. I find that a little green in my view makes long work feel less tiring, and I take short breaks to look at it and stretch.
Try one planter first, and see how it feels. If you like it, you can add a second one on the other side, and your desk will feel like a cozy little workspace.
I smile every time I sit down to work now, because my plant is there waiting for me. It is a small thing, but it makes my workday a lot nicer.
8. A Hanging Plant by the Front Door

The front door is the first thing people see when they visit, and a hanging plant there makes a warm first hello.
I hung a small planter by my front door last year, and every guest comments on it. It makes the entryway feel fresh and welcoming, and it tells people that someone who loves green things lives here.
Pick a plant that can handle a bit of draft, because the door opens and closes a lot. My pothos does fine there, even on cool days when a breeze comes in.
Hang it to the side of the door, not right in front of it. I hung mine on the wall beside the door, so it never blocks the way in or out, and no one bumps into it with bags or coats.
Make sure it gets some light. My front door has a small window beside it, and that gives my plant just enough light to grow. If your entryway is dark, pick a plant that likes low light, and it will still do well.
Use a sturdy hook, because the door shakes the wall a little each time it closes. I used a strong screw hook, and it has held firm for over a year now.
Water it once a week, and wipe its leaves now and then. Dust builds up near a front door, and clean leaves look so much better and help the plant breathe.
A hanging plant by the door is a simple touch, but it makes coming home feel nice too. I see it every time I walk in, and it always makes me smile after a long day.
Start with one plant by your front door, and keep it simple. A single green planter in the right spot says more than a whole row of plants ever could.
9. Hanging Plants in the Bedroom

I hung a plant in my bedroom last year and it changed how the room feels.
It makes the space feel calm when I wake up. A small trailing plant works well here.
You do not need a big plant to get this look. I like to hang mine near the window but not right in front of it. The light is soft there and the plant stays happy.
Pick a hook that feels strong when you pull on it.
I test mine by giving it a firm tug before I hang anything. You can hang the plant high so it stays out of your way.
I keep mine above my bedside table and it never bumps my head. Water it in the morning if you can. That way any drops dry fast and you do not worry about wet bedding at night.
I use a pot with no holes for my bedroom plant.
It keeps water off the floor and off my rug. Try a plant with soft green leaves first.
It looks restful and it is easy to care for. Your bedroom will feel more alive with just one hanging plant. I smile every time I see mine in the morning light.
10. A Hanging Plant in a Corner

A bare corner can make a whole room feel unfinished.
I fixed mine with one hanging plant and it took five minutes. You do not need to fill the corner with furniture.
A plant hanging from the ceiling draws your eye up and makes the room feel taller. I hang my corner plant a little lower than my other plants. It fills the empty space better that way.
Pick a plant that trails down in long strands.
The green lines soften the hard corner and make it feel warm. You can use a long hook or a short chain to set the height.
I tried both and the chain was easier to adjust. Make sure the plant does not block a walkway. I keep mine close to the wall so no one brushes past it.
Water it over a small tray if the pot has holes.
I learned that after one drip landed on my book. A corner plant also works well next to a tall lamp.
The light and the leaves together make a cosy spot at night. Try it in the corner you always ignore. I bet it becomes your favourite spot in the room.
11. Hanging Planters on the Balcony

My balcony felt bare until I hung a few planters from the rail.
Now it feels like a small garden I can sit in. You need planters that can handle wind and rain.
I use strong hooks and I check them after a storm. Hang your planters at different heights for a fuller look. I put one high, one in the middle, and one low.
Pick plants that like fresh air and sun.
Herbs do well on my balcony and I use them in my cooking. You should water balcony plants more often in hot weather.
I water mine early in the morning before the sun gets strong. Use light pots if your rail is thin. Heavy pots can pull on the rail and I do not want that risk.
I keep a small watering can by the door so it is easy to reach.
That way I never skip watering. Try hanging planters near your chair so you can see them up close.
I love to sit out there with a cup of tea and look at the leaves. Your balcony can feel green and calm with just three planters. Start small and add more when you feel ready.
12. A Hanging Plant Above the Dining Table

I hung a plant above my dining table and meals feel nicer now.
The green above the table makes the whole room feel fresh. You need to hang it high enough so no one hits it when they stand up.
I keep mine well above head height. Pick a plant that does not drop leaves on your food. I use a plant with firm leaves and I trim it often.
A small pot works best over a table.
A big heavy pot would feel wrong above where you eat. You can hang the plant from a beam or a strong ceiling hook.
I asked someone to help me check the hook before I hung it. Water it with care so no drops fall on the table. I take mine down to water it and then hang it back up.
Try a trailing plant so the leaves frame the table.
It looks pretty and it does not block your view of the person across from you. I like how the plant looks in the evening light.
It makes dinner feel a bit special, even on a plain weeknight. One plant above the table is enough to change the room. You will notice it every time you sit down to eat.
13. Hanging Plants with Grow Lights

I have a dark corner where no plant would grow.
A small grow light fixed that and now my hanging plant is happy there. You do not need a big fancy light to start.
A small clip-on light is enough for one plant. I clip mine to a shelf near the plant and point it at the leaves. It gives the plant the light it misses from the window.
A small clip-on LED grow light costs $15 to $30.
I bought one in that price range and it works fine for my plant. You can set the light on a timer so you do not have to think about it.
| Grow light type | Typical cost |
|---|---|
| Small clip-on LED grow light | $15 to $30 |
| Bar LED grow light | $25 to $60 |
| Full-spectrum panel grow light | $40 to $90 |
I run mine for about eight hours a day. A bar LED grow light costs $25 to $60. I like this type when I have two or three plants hanging in a row.
A full-spectrum panel grow light costs $40 to $90.
I would pick this one for a bigger group of plants that need a lot of light. Keep the light close but not touching the leaves.
I leave a small gap so the leaves do not get too warm. Your plant will tell you if the light is working. I look for new green growth and leaves that stand up tall.
14. A Hanging Plant for Low-Light Rooms

Not every room gets good sun and that is fine.
I have a plant in my darkest room and it still grows. You need to pick the right plant for low light.
Some plants do well in shade and some will fade fast. I use a pothos in my low-light room. It grows slow but it stays green and it forgives me if I forget to water it.
Hang it near a door or a hallway where some light still reaches it.
Even a little light helps a lot. Do not water a low-light plant too often.
The soil dries slow in shade and wet soil can hurt the roots. I check the soil with my finger before I water. If the top feels dry, I water.
If it feels damp, I wait.
You can also move the plant to a bright spot for a few hours each week. I do this on weekends and it gives the plant a boost.
Pick a pot that is easy to take down. I like a light pot so moving it is no trouble at all. A low-light room can still feel green and alive.
15. Hanging Planters for Small Pots

Small pots are perfect for hanging planters.
I use them when I want a lot of plants but I do not have much space. You can hang small pots in a row along a window.
I have four in a row and they look like a green curtain. Pick a planter that fits the pot snugly. A loose pot can tip and I do not want soil on my floor.
I like macrame hangers for small pots.
They hold the pot tight and they look soft and pretty. Small pots dry out fast so check them often.
I check mine every two days in warm weather. You can grow small herbs in these pots. I keep one with mint near my kitchen window and I use it a lot.
Try mixing different plants in your small pots.
I have one trailing plant, one upright plant, and one with round leaves. Hang them at the same height for a neat look.
Or hang them at different heights if you want a playful feel. Small pots make hanging plants easy and cheap to start. You can try one today and see how you like it.
16. A Hanging Plant Shelf for the Living Room

I put a shelf on my living room wall just for hanging plants.
It is now the best spot in the whole room. You can hang plants from the shelf itself or from hooks under it.
I do both and it looks full and green. Pick a shelf that is strong and fixed well to the wall. I used long screws and I tested it with a firm pull first.
Keep the shelf near a window if you can.
My plants get soft light there all day and they grow well. You can mix hanging plants with a few books or a small vase on the shelf.
I keep one book and one vase so the shelf does not look crowded. Water your plants over a tray to protect the shelf. I use a small tray under each pot and it saves the wood.
Try plants with different leaf shapes on the same shelf.
I have one with long leaves and one with small round leaves. Your living room will feel warm and lived in with a plant shelf.
Guests always ask me about mine when they visit. Start with one shelf and three plants. You can add more later when you see how good it looks.
17. Hanging Plants in Glass Jars

I love how a glass jar makes a plant look so fresh and clean. You can see the roots and the water, and it feels like a little science project on your wall.
Pick a small jar with a wide mouth. A jam jar works well. You can tie twine around the neck and hang it from a hook.
Fill the jar with clean water and put a cutting in it. I like to use a pothos cutting because it grows roots fast. You will see tiny white roots in a week or two.
Change the water once a week so it stays clear. If the water looks cloudy, rinse the jar and add fresh water. Your plant will thank you for it.
Hang the jar where it gets soft light. A spot near a window is good, but keep it out of strong hot sun. Too much sun can heat the water and hurt the roots.
You can hang one jar on its own for a simple look. Or you can hang three jars in a row at different heights. I think the group looks so pretty in a kitchen.
Try a small herb in a jar too. Mint grows well in water for a while. You can snip a few leaves for your tea when you need them.
Keep the jar away from busy spots where people bump into it. Glass can break if it falls. A quiet corner is the safest place.
I check my jars every Sunday morning. It takes me two minutes. That tiny habit keeps my plants happy all week long.
18. A Hanging Plant in a Woven Basket

A woven basket gives a hanging plant a warm and soft look. I love how the natural fibres make a room feel calm and cosy.
Choose a basket that is light but strong. Make sure it has a good rim you can tie rope to. You do not want it to tip over when you water the plant.
Put a plastic liner inside the basket first. This stops water from dripping on your floor. I learned this the hard way after a wet spot on my rug.
Pick a plant with leaves that spill over the edge. A trailing plant looks best in a basket. The leaves fall down in a soft green curtain.
Hang the basket at eye level if you can. That way you can see the plant well and check the soil. It also makes the room feel full and alive.
Use three ropes tied evenly around the basket. This keeps it level. If one rope is longer, the basket will lean and look odd.
I like to hang a woven basket near my reading chair. It makes the corner feel like a small garden. I sit there with a book and feel so relaxed.
Water the plant slowly so the soil soaks it up. Let the extra water drain out before you hang it back up. You can hold it over the sink for a minute.
A basket also hides a plain plastic pot. You get the pretty look without buying a fancy planter. It is a simple trick that works every time.
19. Hanging Plants for the Home Office

I work better when a plant hangs near my desk. It gives my eyes a green spot to rest on when I need a short break.
Pick a plant that does not need much fuss. You are busy with work, so you do not want a plant that needs daily care. A pothos or a spider plant is a good pick.
Hang the plant to the side of your desk, not right above your keyboard. You do not want water to drip on your work. A spot just to the left works well for me.
Keep the plant where it gets light from a window. If your desk is far from a window, pick a plant that likes low light. It will still grow, just a bit slower.
I like to water my office plant on Friday afternoons. That is my little end of week ritual. It feels like I am closing the week with care.
A hanging plant also makes video calls look nicer. People see green behind you instead of a plain wall. It makes the room feel warm and lived in.
Do not hang too many plants in a small office. One or two is enough. Too many can make the space feel crowded and hard to clean.
Try a small trailing plant in a corner by a shelf. It softens the hard lines of the desk and the shelves. I think it makes the whole room feel more friendly.
When I feel stuck on a task, I look at my plant for a minute. It sounds silly, but it helps me breathe and think again. Then I go back to work with a clear head.
20. A Hanging Plant Above the Sink

A plant above the sink is one of my favourite spots in the kitchen. You see it every time you wash your hands or fill a glass.
The steam from hot water gives the plant a little extra moisture. Many leafy plants love that. It is like a tiny spa for them.
Pick a plant that likes humidity. A fern or a pothos does well here. They stay green and full with the damp air.
Hang it high enough so it does not get in your way. You need room to move your arms at the sink. I keep mine just above head height.
Use a hook that can hold the weight when the soil is wet. A wet pot is much heavier than a dry one. Test the hook with a gentle pull first.
Be careful with soap and cleaning sprays near the plant. A splash of soap can hurt the leaves. I move the plant aside when I clean the sink well.
I love to snip fresh herbs from a plant above my sink. Basil and mint grow well in a bright kitchen. You can add them to your food in seconds.
Water the plant right at the sink, which is so easy. You can let it drain for a minute before you hang it back. No mess on the floor at all.
This spot turns a plain sink into a happy corner. I smile every time I see the green leaves there. It makes a daily chore feel a bit nicer.
21. Hanging Plants for a Sunny Wall

A sunny wall is a great place for plants that love light. I look for a wall that gets sun for a few hours each day.
Not every plant likes strong sun, so pick with care. Succulents and string of pearls do well in bright light. They like the warmth on their leaves.
Hang the plants in a row along the wall. You can use small hooks at different heights. It looks like a green picture on the wall.
Check the soil more often on a sunny wall. The sun dries the soil faster than in a shady spot. I poke my finger in the soil to test it.
If the leaves start to look pale or burnt, move the plant back a little. It may be getting too much direct sun. A sheer curtain can soften the light too.
I like to mix leaf shapes on a sunny wall. Round leaves next to long leaves look so fun. The mix keeps your eye moving along the wall.
Use light pots so the hooks do not strain. Heavy pots can pull a hook out of the wall over time. I use small plastic pots inside pretty covers.
Water in the morning so the plant can drink before the hot part of the day. This helps the roots stay cool. I do this before I start my day.
A sunny wall full of plants makes the whole room glow. It feels bright and full of life. I love to sit near it with a cup of tea.
22. A Hanging Plant with a Watering Spot Nearby

I always hang a plant near a place where I can water it with ease. It sounds simple, but it makes plant care so much easier.
A spot near the sink or a small table is perfect. You can carry a watering can without walking far. You are more likely to water on time.
Keep a small watering can close by. I keep mine on a shelf under my plants. It reminds me to check them when I walk past.
Hang the plant where you can reach it without a chair. If it is too high, you will skip watering it. I learned that from my own tall shelf.
Put a small tray or towel under the plant when you water it. This catches drips and keeps your floor dry. I use an old plate for this.
Check the soil before you water. Stick your finger in about an inch deep. If it feels dry, it is time to water. If it feels damp, wait a day.
I like to water in the morning when I have a quiet minute. The plant drinks all day and looks fresh by lunch. It is a calm start to my day.
You can also keep a spray bottle nearby for misting. Some plants like a light mist on their leaves. I spray mine once or twice a week.
A good watering spot turns plant care into a quick habit. It takes me less than five minutes. My plants stay happy because care is easy, not a chore.
23. Hanging Plants That Are Easy for Beginners

If you are new to plants, start with one that forgives small mistakes. You do not need to be perfect to keep it alive. A tough plant will grow even if you forget to water it once.
Pothos is my first pick for a beginner. It grows fast and tells you what it needs. A pothos costs $6 to $15, so it is easy on your wallet too.
A snake plant is another great choice. It likes light but can live in a dim corner as well. A snake plant costs $8 to $20, which is fair for such a strong plant.
Spider plants are fun because they make baby plants on long stems. You can snip the babies off and grow new plants for free. A spider plant costs $7 to $16 at most shops.
Trailing philodendron looks soft and full when it hangs down. It likes a warm spot and a drink when the soil feels dry. A trailing philodendron costs $8 to $18, so it is a good value.
| Beginner plant | Typical cost |
|---|---|
| Pothos | $6 to $15 |
| Snake plant | $8 to $20 |
| Spider plant | $7 to $16 |
| Trailing philodendron | $8 to $18 |
Start with just one plant and learn its rhythm. Watch how fast the soil dries in your home. Every home is a little different, so your plant will teach you.
Do not worry if a leaf turns yellow now and then. Snip it off and keep going. One yellow leaf does not mean you failed.
Hang your first plant where you see it every day. You will notice when it needs water. I think seeing it often is the best trick for beginners.
Once your first plant is doing well, add a second one. You will feel proud and more sure of yourself. That is how a love for plants grows, one plant at a time.
24. A Hanging Plant Display for Every Season

I love to change my hanging plants a little with each season. It keeps my home feeling fresh all year long.
In spring, I add plants with bright new leaves. The fresh green feels like a new start. I clean the pots and trim any old leaves then.
Summer is the time for growth. My plants grow fast in the long days. I water a bit more and move them where they get good light.
In autumn, I bring in plants that like cooler air. I trim back long stems that grew wild in summer. The display looks neat and tidy again.
Winter is a quiet time for plants. They grow slow and need less water. I keep them away from cold drafts by the window.
You can swap a few pots each season without changing the whole display. Just move one or two plants to a new hook. It feels like a new look with little work.
I like to add a small seasonal touch near the plants. In spring I use a light coloured pot. In autumn I use a warm toned pot. It is a small change with a big feel.
Keep the hooks and ropes strong all year. Check them when the seasons change. A quick check keeps your plants safe from falls.
A display that changes with the seasons makes me smile all year. It grows with my home and my life. I hope you enjoy yours in every season too.
