How Do You Hang A Tropical Plant?
Tropical plants like ferns, flowering vines and bromeliads display to best advantage when hanging from an attractive planter in your living area. Besides adding a burst of color to the room, hanging plants take up less space than non-hanging potted plants, making them a good solution for small spaces. Besides suitable light, water, and occasional fertilizer, tropical plants need no more maintenance than temperate houseplants. They evoke an exotic, sophisticated atmosphere in any type of space. Plant the tropical species in the chosen planter. Use a soil mix containing organic nutrients and perlite, a lightweight volcanic mineral that increases soil’s water retention. Or, keep the plant in its original container and use the lightweight planter as a cachepot. Water the plant as you normally would to gauge the maximum weight of the plant before hanging. Make sure to choose a ceiling hook that’s sturdy enough to support the plant’s weight when watered. Choose the location for hanging based
