Hanging Plants: Overview

Elevate your interior with captivating hanging plants. Trailing and vining varieties are perfect for enlivening vertical spaces or creating a verdant curtain of greenery. Vining plants can be trained up walls or trellises, while leafy plants that hang down will thrive in hanging baskets, planters, or window boxes. 

There are plenty of vining indoor plants with variegated foliage to add aesthetic appeal and keep indoor air clean from pollutants in any living space, from offices to kitchens or bathrooms. Use trailing house plants to fill empty corners indoors, or to decorate your porch and beautify your window boxes. Growing non-pet-friendly varieties in hanging baskets is a perfect solution for homes with pets, as hanging house plants are harder to reach, keeping your pets safe.

Discover the best indoor hanging plants for your space, from the glossy, emerald-and-cream Golden Pothos to the radiant, lime-green Philodendron Neon, brought to your doorstep with our hanging plants delivery.

Trailing Plants for Hanging Baskets: Care & Growing Guide

Trailing plants are often easy to care for, although care requirements will vary depending on the variety. Here’s what you need to know about caring for indoor hanging plants: 

Watering, Light, Humidity, and Temperature

Hanging indoor plants require pots with attached saucers to prevent dripping. Water your plant less amply but more frequently to keep your plant’s roots from sitting in water.

Check the amount of light your hanging plant needs. Low-light hanging plants can grow in indoor spaces with dim light, but there are also full sun trailing plants that require bright light to flourish. If you position your plants for hanging baskets by a southern window, shield them from direct sunrays with a sheer curtain.

Many tropical vining plants need higher humidity indoors. Group your plants in one area, mist them regularly, or use a humidifier to boost air humidity.

Most plants thrive in temperatures from 60°F to 80°F. The best outdoor hanging plants should be able to withstand lower nighttime temperatures during the spring and summer.

Repotting, Soil, and Feeding

Repot your indoor vining plants once every 2-3 years. Larger containers with good drainage are better since the soil dries quickly in hanging pots. Prune your plant to maintain its size so you don’t need to increase the container size that often.

The best soil for hanging plants should allow good drainage while retaining moisture. Add compost or other organic matter, and mulch the soil surface to prevent your plants from drying.

Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer once a month for healthy foliage and abundant blooms.

Propagation 

Most trailing plants for window boxes can be propagated via stem cuttings or division. Take cuttings and plant in moist soil, or divide a mature plant in spring.

Pruning, Cleaning, and Common Issues 

Prune your trailing indoor plants regularly to keep the trailing stems from getting too long. Remove spent flowers and dead leaves. Trim the stem ends below a leaf node to promote bushier growth and clean under a shower to remove dust. Check your green hanging plants regularly for insects and use insecticide or neem oil if necessary.
