What Are the Best Hanging Plants?

Traffic, the Best Hanging Drooping Plant

Traffic, also called ephemeral (because its flowers last only one day) and often myazem, works wonderfully in hanging planters, allowing its shiny, simple or multicolored leaves to flow. This hanging plant is suitable for all situations (or almost all). However, it prefers bright light (without direct sunlight). Note that multicolored varieties will be less vibrant when partially shaded (and this would be sad!)

As for watering, you can wait a week from February to September and water slightly less in the rest of the year. Even if you shouldn't overdo it, the plant tolerates forgetfulness in watering.

Propagation by cuttings is simple: just place a piece of stem with several leaves in water.

Hoya, the Best Tropical Hanging Plant

Hoya is a semi-succulent tropical plant. There are many varieties of hoya: in hanging arrangements we choose the variety with trailing growth, such as hoya australis, wax hoya (or hoya carnosa) or hoya bella (or lanceolata). Although the leaves can be very decorative, hoya surprises with its striking flowers, which earned it nicknames like 'porcelain flowers' or 'wax flowers'.

Hoya likes to feel restricted, so don't offer it too large a pot and avoid repotting it too frequently. Find a sunny spot for your hoya, but without direct sunlight and avoid drafts.
