Best Indoor Hanging Plants

Whether you're running low on space or simply want a lush statement piece, hanging plants are a wonderful addition to the home. Let's go over the best indoor hanging plants for beginners and plant pros alike.

Donkey Tail Sedum

Also known as Burro's Tail, Donkey Tail Sedum grows long, trailing stems with plump leaves. Like other succulents, it needs plenty of sunlight. However, it does require a bit more care when it comes to watering. Too much water and it'll rot. Too little water and its normally plump leaves will wither. Keep your Donkey Tail Sedum near light and water it thoroughly when the soil has completely dried. Soon you'll have beautiful braids of green giving your home exotic charm.

Spider Plant

The Spider Plant is one of the most popular houseplants on the planet and this is for good reason. It is notoriously low-maintenance, good for air quality, and lovely to boot. They grow long, slender leaves that look amazing in a hanging planter. Aside from its other qualities, the spider plant is also pet-safe. If you're looking for an indoor hanging plant, there's no reason not to get a spider plant (or two)!

Boston Fern

 

Boston Ferns have long, sword-shaped foliage made up of small leaflets. These lush plants add a dramatic tropical flair to any space. They do require humidity to thrive, however. If you live in a dry climate, hanging your fern in or near a bathroom can provide it with the humidity it needs. Be sure to water your plant frequently, keeping its soil moist. You can also mist your plant to mimic its natural environment and keep it thriving.

Pothos

Pothos is an excellent beginner's plant. It is easy to care for and quickly grows long, trailing vines with bright green leaves. These plants are undemanding and can even grow without soil! If you'd like to add more greenery to your home without a lot of maintenance, this is the perfect indoor hanging plant to do so. Hang your pothos in a place that needs some livening up.

Tillandsia Air Plants

Perhaps the most versatile when it comes to display, we have Tillandsia. These plants can be hung up in almost any way you can think of and make lovely natural additions to any decor. Tillandsia grow long narrow tendrils that in nature, cling to whatever surfaces are around them. These unique plants also don't require soil, but do need to be taken down from their displays and soaked in water to keep them thriving. For more on how to care for your Tillandsia read our related blog post.

If you're unable to install hooks in your walls, shelves are also a great way to display your hanging beauties. Some clever plant lovers have displayed their hanging plants on coat racks, curtain rods, and even stacks of books! Create your own verdant paradise by filling your home with indoor hanging plants.
