A well-chosen hanging plant from Sears can add visual interest to your home, patio, breezeway, or porch. Knowing how to properly prepare and maintain your hanging plant can ensure it has a long and attractive life.

Deciding on your plant can be exciting: There are so many different plants available at Sears! The best plants for hanging are begonias, Spider Plants, Verbena, Licorice Vine, English Ivy, or Fuschia, but many other plants also thrive in hanging containers. Try to avoid placing your hanging plant in an inappropriate area for the plant itself. If the plant prefers sun, it should be hung in a well-lit area, while a shade-loving plant like the pretty silvery Pilea glaucophylla will prefer a shadowy nook of the porch or a tucked-away corner of your house.

You will next need to pick an appropriate container for your desired hanging plant. Any solidly constructed hanging pot will be appropriate as long as it is amply drained or provided with multiple holes. Otherwise, a coconut basket or wire mesh basket lined with sphagnum moss will work well, providing ample levels of drainage and reducing the risk of root rot.

A high quality organic potting mix should be used to fill the container as the plant is placed in it. Pack the soil gently around the plant to secure it, and add water to fill in any holes. It should be watered until the water seeps out from beneath the container, evidence that the plant has been thoroughly watered.

You are now ready to hang your plant. A hanging plant can be very heavy when it is wet, so your chosen spot should be secure enough to hold the plant. A ceiling hook will need to be securely attached to a ceiling joist. If you prefer instead to hang your plant from a decorative plant hook , you will need to attach your ceiling hook to a wall stud.

Check your plant daily for dryness, since the air near the ceiling tends to be dryer than the air nearer to the floor, and water it as needed. Protect your floors and furniture from overflow by using a drip tray attached to the bottom of your pot. Now, sit back and enjoy!
