Hanging planters not only look great, they’re practical, too. Ideal for small or crowded spaces, they enable you to display your plants without losing valuable surface space.

We love this DIY square hanging planter from the Fall For DIY blog. Its simple, modern design means it’s not only super-easy to make, it’s versatile, too. Hang it in your living space, above a dining room table, over the foot of your bed or in the bathroom. The possibilities are endless…

What you’ll need:

  • Wooden dowel
  • Rope
  • Wood glue
  • Plant and pot
  • Saw

Which plants work best…

Trailing plants with their cascading foliage are great for hanging planters. Devil’s ivy and philodendron look pretty and are easy to maintain. For a majestic focal point in a large living space, opt for something voluminous, such as a fern with its explosion of feathery fronds.
