Best hanging plants for bedrooms

Item Why it works
Pothos Very forgiving, trails quickly, copes with lower light
Heartleaf philodendron Soft trailing leaves, easy care
String of pearls Bright light, striking texture
Boston fern Loves humidity, full and feathery
Spider plant Hardy and fast-growing

Hangers and hardware

  1. Use classic macrame hangers in natural cotton.
  2. Try woven rattan or seagrass baskets on rope.
  3. Hang a ceiling-mounted wooden rail with several pots on hooks.
  4. Choose leather strap hangers for a modern boho twist.
  5. Use a hanging tiered planter for three plants in one spot.
  6. Add swing-arm wall brackets beside the bed.

Where to hang them

  1. Cluster three hangers at different heights in a window corner.
  2. Hang a trailing plant above the headboard off to one side, never directly over your head.
  3. Line a curtain rod with small hanging pots.
  4. Hang plants from a ladder suspended horizontally from the ceiling.
  5. Fill an empty corner with a cascading pothos.
  6. Use the space above a dresser for a hanging fern.

Plant choices

  1. Pick pothos for low-light rooms.
  2. Choose string of pearls for sunny windows.
  3. Grow a Boston fern near a bathroom door for humidity.
  4. Add spider plants for easy, fast growth.
  5. Try hoya for waxy leaves and occasional flowers.
  6. Use good faux trailing plants where there is no light at all.

Styling and care

  1. Mix pot textures such as terracotta, woven and glazed ceramic.
  2. Keep a palette of greens, creams and tans so the room stays calm.
  3. Add a watering can you love so care is part of the decor.
  4. Use self-watering inserts to reduce drips.
  5. Pair plants with string lights for an evening glow.
  6. Rotate pots every few weeks for even growth.
  7. Group plants by light needs so each one thrives.

Tip: Screw ceiling hooks into a joist or use a rated toggle anchor, since a watered pot can be surprisingly heavy. Pothos, philodendron and some other trailing plants are toxic to cats, dogs and small children, so hang them well out of reach.
