1. Add a pop of color to your front porch with hanging baskets.
Hanging baskets are an easy way to add some color and dimension to the front of your home.
You can keep it simple and use a single color or mix and match your favorites to create a fun and festive look.
Pro tip: Be sure to use liners in your hanging baskets so the soil doesn’t fall out and water your plants regularly, as they can dry out quickly.
2. Create a container garden in your backyard with hanging planters.
Hanging planters are a great way to add visual interest to a container garden in your backyard.
You can hang them from fences, railings, or you can even hang them from tree branches.
The key to creating a beautiful container garden with hanging planters is to choose a variety of plants with different colors, textures, and sizes.
You can also mix and match different types of hanging planters to add even more visual interest to your garden.
For example, you could hang a few macrame plant hangers from tree branches and then mix in some metal hanging planters on the fence.
The possibilities are endless!
3. Hang plants from your deck to add a bit of privacy.
If you’re lucky enough to have a deck off your home, then you know what a luxury it is.
However, if you live in a neighborhood where you’re a bit too close to your neighbors, then you know that you don’t always get the privacy you want.
One way to add some privacy to your deck is to hang some plants! You can use a curtain rod to hang planters from, or you can even use a tension rod.
You can also use some twine to hang planters from the rafters of your deck.
4. Use them to grow herbs and small vegetables.
Some herbs and vegetables are perfect for growing in hanging planters.
Strawberries, cherry tomatoes, and peppers are just a few of the delicious options you can grow in a hanging planter.
Pro Tip: When growing vegetables in hanging planters, it’s important to make sure you have a large enough planter for the plant’s root system.
5. Hang planters on your fence to create a living wall.
If you don’t have a large yard but still want to add some greenery to your outdoor space, consider this idea.
By hanging planters on your fence, you can create a living wall that will add color and texture to your yard.
Pro tip: Make sure to choose planters with a flat back so they hang flush against the fence.
6. You can also use them indoors.
You can also use hanging planters in your home, of course! They are a great way to add a pop of color and a touch of nature to any room.
Hang them in a cluster to create a living wall, or use them to add some greenery to a corner of the room.
Pro tip: If you’re using a hanging planter indoors, make sure to choose a style that has a built-in drainage system to prevent water from dripping on your floor.
