Whether with herbs, succulents or trailing plants like pothos and ivy, indoor hanging plants make it possible to infuse your home with houseplants.
"Hanging planters are a beautiful and practical way to add greenery to your home when you start to run out of space, especially windowsill space," says Paris Lalicata, plant expert at The Sill. Hang a macramé planter in a sunny bedroom corner, go for a modern display in the living room or display a ceramic pot as a way to elevate an entry — either way, your indoor planter will introduce instant texture.
Since there are so many hanging planters on the market, we've rounded up the best indoor hanging planters — including our favorite modern picks, highly-rated finds and affordable planters under $25. Shop plastic designs with drainage, macramé hangers and large ceramic pots that work indoors or outdoors. Before you settle on a pick, consider the needs of your houseplant or indoor flowering plant. Or, simply purchase your favorite hanger and shop for an indoor plant later.
What to look for in a hanging planter
- The size of your plant: "You want to repot plants into containers that are only 1 to 2 inches larger in diameter from the plant's original pot," says Lalicata, who suggests a standard indoor potting mix.
- Drainage: "You don't always need a hanging planter with drainage," says Lalicata. If your planter doesn't have drainage, you should keep your plant in a nursery pot. Use a turkey baster to suck up excess water from the saucer after watering or incorporate a plastic drip tray underneath the planter.
- Weight: Make sure your planter isn't too heavy to hang. Consider where you'll be hanging your planter: hung from the ceiling, a wall or an outdoor space like a balcony or porch.
