Innovative Hanging Plant Ideas For Small Spaces
Houseplants and indoor gardening have been trending for the past few years. Are you in on the craze?
Choose from any of the houseplant statistics you like, but what really stands out for me is that 66% of American households own at least one houseplant. Once you start taking care of the first one, the next four or five, maybe even ten, are soon to follow.
We all have our reasons for bringing more green into our lives. Indoor gardening helps to relieve stress, at the same time it boosts both productivity and creativity. Many houseplants can even assist in removing airborne toxins, which is good for the health of everyone in your household, pets included.
Indoor gardening is quickly becoming a hobby across all ages, in part because it is relatively easy to learn.

Gardening indoors can also be an inexpensive hobby when you learn how to propagate your own plants for free. In no time at all, you can fill a small space with plenty of houseplants.
Plus, you can even get some nutritious food out of the deal. It all depends on what you decide to grow.
Whether you’re going for beauty or edible herbs, you’ll find a lot of plants to choose from:
Underrated plants are making a comeback.
Crazy expensive houseplants are greening your space on the posh end.
Herbs can be grown indoors all year round.
Carnivorous plants are for serious plant keepers and so on.

No matter what your plant style is, nature has been busy making sure there is a plant you will enjoy taking care of for years to come.
Where to put all those beautiful plants if you have a small space?
The problem for many gardeners is that space often feels limited. This can happen both indoors and outdoors.
Perhaps you live in a small apartment, or a tiny house, yet you still long to feel connected to nature.
Let me suggest that there is always space for one more plant. Not in the horizontal plane, but in the vertical one.

Yes, that means placing plants along the walls, on shelves and even hanging some of them. Think about it, a plain white wall is relaxing to look at, but a wall of plants is another landscape to take in.
As mentioned above, plants help to relieve stress. At the same time, they help to soothe the eyes. If you work from home, or even in an office, and you don’t get the much-needed time to get outside, you will greatly benefit from green plants in your small space.
Let’s get to the hanging garden bit – the one that allows for a lot of plants in a scaled-down space.
When floor and table space begins to dwindle, try out a few of these easy and creative ways to hang your growing number of potted plants.
