Hanging Plants That Will Elevate Your Decor

Feathery fronds make the Boston fern a go-to for hanging planters. This stunning plant is pet-safe and purifies the air, making it a breezy choice for any room in your home. Leave plenty of room between ferns and the ceiling so that air can circulate properly; the last thing you want is brown, withered leaves draping down from the top.

Boston ferns only require watering every 2 to 3 days and benefit from bright, indirect light, so they're ideal for that bare bedroom window or just about any laid-back living space.

The spider plant requires significant space from every angle, so it's an eye-catching filler for your living room or bedroom. Leaves are long, bright, and bold, giving empty spots a lush touch.

Try them in wide baskets to prevent the leaves from spilling over and hanging too low, and embrace an easy-as-pie care routine: spider plants only require weekly watering, so they're as low-key as it gets. These spindly beauties grow rapidly in bright, moderate sunlight, so try them near east-facing windows.

These striking succulents thrive in low light, making them the ideal display for your north and east-facing windows. Trailing coin-shaped leaves give this plant a charming aesthetic, and it's relatively easy to care for with regular misting and watering.

If life's other obligations have you seeking some low-maintenance greenery, then air plants are the perfect solution. These lush little guys grow without soil and are incredibly easy to care for.

Add a splash of color to your living, dining, or entertainment areas with these stunning plants. You'll need the space, however; chenille plants can reach up to 6 feet in height, with hanging flowers growing up to 18 inches. In their natural environment, chenille plants grow even taller: up to 15 feet.

They like to spread out, and the fuzzy red flowers are a welcome switch from traditional houseplants. Water them every two to three days until the soil is moist, and place them in a south-facing window with direct access to bright light. Promote fresh growth by pruning them back 4 to 8 inches every season.

Give interiors a dash of elegance with the golden pothos. Gorgeous golden-yellow leaves bring sunshine into your home, and since they only require moderate sunlight, you've got a multitude of creative display options.

Not only does this plant bring beauty into your bedroom or living room, but it helps clear out toxins and purify the air for a more peaceful rest.

Keep English ivy in a room where they can spread out and grow comfortably; place them in low to medium light and be sure to stay on top of your weekly watering routine.

Pitcher plants thrive in boggy conditions, and they've evolved to become carnivorous. Not only do they create striking contrast in your kitchen or dining room, but they'll kill off insects as well.

If you're craving lush, gorgeous greenery for your living room or bedroom, maidenhair ferns are up to the task. Eye-catching foliage drapes effortlessly from baskets for effortless decor, but this is a thirsty species you'll need to water daily—don't let the soil dry out.

This delicate fern has a secret, too: underneath all that foliage are stunning purple leaves. These feathery fronds should be suspended high so the foliage can hang properly. They require bright, indirect light.

Want a compact plant you can hang nearly anywhere? Bolster your home with trailing jade plants, which are actually from the Peperomia family, so don't let the name fool you!

Native to the tropics, trailing jade gives interiors an exotic touch, and you'll only need to water them once a week to keep moisture levels on point.

Bright light is best, so you can hang these beauties near east, west, or south-facing windows with equally stunning results. Help promote healthy growth and prevent potential root rot by choosing clay-based pots for your display.
