If you’re looking for the perfect cascading beauty for your home, here are the best unique hanging plants worth trying!
Here are some unique hanging plants that stand out from the common specimens like pothos and philos of the botanical world.
Types of Unique Hanging Plants You Should Grow
1. Trailing begonia
You may have grown begonias before, but not like these. For the best display, you can go for Angel Wing Begonia, Trailing Bolivian and Coral.
2. Trailing Jade
Forget the typical upright jade plant. Try a Ripple Jade and plant it in a hanging basket or place it on a shelf.
3. Trailing rosemary
Rosemary isn’t just for the kitchen—you can use this herb to add fragrant (and hanging) greenery to your home. Try varieties like Golden Trailing Rosemary and Silver Falls.
4. Trailing peperomia
There are many good Peperomia varieties such as Cupid, Red Edge and Belly Button with beautiful patterns that run well downwards.
5. Trailing African Violet
You must have seen African violets before, but have you ever seen them cascade like a waterfall? Try growing species such as African violets “Red Rider Trail” or “Little Trio.”
6. Trailing ferns
The Boston Sword Fern is a vine beauty, and keeping the pot on a tall plant stand will enhance the beauty of its vine fronds many times over!
7. Trailing spider plant
These plants usually only grow to 1 to 2 feet tall, but if you choose Curly and Hawaiian Spider plants, they will look perfect!
8. Behind Maranta
Marantas feature stunning patterns and colors on the foliage, and if kept in a high location they will grow downward beautifully.
9. Pellionia daveauana
If you are a fan of colors then this is a must! The double shades of green on the leaves look spectacular, especially when they droop!
