About these plants
Read up
Hanging plants add greenery without taking up floor space. Trailing varieties such as Pothos, String of Hearts and English Ivy grow long stems that cascade from shelves, macramé hangers and high windowsills. Many are beginner-friendly, and most prefer bright, indirect light. Plants above eye level are easy to forget, so check the soil regularly. Not sure which one suits your space? The Plant Quiz suggests a shortlist. If you have cats or dogs, check the pet safety checker first: several trailing plants, including Pothos and English Ivy, are listed by the ASPCA as toxic to pets.
How we picked: every plant profile is filed under one category, and this page lists all the published profiles filed under Hanging Plants. The same plants also make up the Trailing & Hanging Plants collection.
