Hanging Planters Are Perfect for the Home
Small apartments, homes, or rooms can easily get cluttered. Don’t sacrifice not having any plants because you don’t think you the room – just elevate them. Hanging plants don’t take up any floor space or counter space, but rather utilize an area typically unoccupied. Plus, having hanging plants at eye level makes them more noticeable and more appealing. Create your own living garden inside your home with hanging planters.
Some good plants suited to inside your home are English Ivy, Spider Plant, Burro’s Tail, Boston Fern, Pothos, and Philodendron. Just make sure to pay attention to which plants work best in the full sun versus shadier spots in your indoor space.
Picking the Right Hanging Planter for Your Space
A hanging planter will enhance any room in your house, from the kitchen to the bathroom, they add an elegant touch of beauty. Just add a hook to the ceiling and you’re good to go. Some hangers are 3-tiered, which look nice in corners, and some planters are designed to be a part of a collection or design making them look more like art installations.
