Hanging Planter Tips

Okay I'm totally becoming a plant lady and I'm not even ashamed. I love taking care of these little plant babies we hung in our daughter's room. Aren't they beautiful??!


There was a corner in Lyndi's room that just needed a little somethin-somethin so I thought hanging plants would be perfect. See! 🤩

They're from IKEA...they have great stuff! I highly recommend checking out their plant section.

This pretty little gal 👆 is an Epipremnum. I bought this one first and it's been really easy to keep alive. I try to water it about once a week, but forgot over the holidays (oops). After a few weeks, it started looking a little sad but perked right up when I remembered to water it. 😆 Good girl.

This heart-shaped beauty 👆 is a Peperomia Polybotrya - a new plant at Ikea! Both were $12 and I'm just thrilled that they're doing so well. Indirect sunlight is best and like I said, I water them....whenever I remember (every week or two). 😜

Okay what you really care about is how to hang these things, right?? We weren't totally sure what the best route was, but these screw-in wall hooks ended up working best. We recommend using the anchors since the plants are kinda heavy. Don't want those babies falling out of the sky! 

We actually were going to use these "Spring Toggle Wing Bolt Hangers" which are meant for heavy duty things going into a cavity wall (non-stud). We did run into a stud, however, so we used the other hooks. I will say, our hooks seem a little wiggly, 😬 so it probably would have been better to go with these. 👌


The hanging pots/planters are actually from Home Goods, even though IKEA had great similar options that I linked below. You can find these type of plant holders so many places, though. 😊

There you have it! An easy way to add some greenery to a space without taking up floor or counter space. 😁


Did You Know?

Did you know that if you take care of your plants, they’ll take care of you? Studies show that plants can help us be more creative and also reduce stress! Not only do they make our homes look more vibrant and homey, they're good for our overall well-being and air quality, too! How great is that?!

Real cedar garland on pendant lights
By Kara V. January 30, 2023
I’ve never bought real garland before but found it at Lowes. It’s also sold at Home Depot, Costco, grocery stores, and other places too, I’m sure. Considering that you get 20 feet of it, I feel like it’s not a bad price!
