|
|
|
|
Pick lightweight pots that match your style — ceramic for a modern look, terracotta for something earthy, or recycled containers for a more rustic feel. Make sure your pots have drainage holes to keep your plants healthy.

Step 2: Prepare the Hanging Cord
|
|
You can use jute, macramé cord, or sturdy rope depending on the look you want. Cut equal lengths (usually four) and ensure they’re strong enough to hold the weight of your pot and soil.

Step 3: Create the Plant Hanger
|
|
Gather your cords together, tie a secure knot at one end, and start weaving or knotting your design. You can go simple or get creative with patterns — there are tons of easy macramé tutorials online if you want to level up your design.

|
Once your hanger is ready, gently place your pot in the center. Adjust the cords so the pot sits evenly and securely before hanging it.

Step 5: Plant Your Greenery
|
|
Add potting soil and your favorite greenery — trailing plants like pothos, ivy, or string of pearls work beautifully for hanging setups.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Choose a bright, airy spot where your plants will thrive. Use a ceiling hook or a sturdy wall bracket to hang your planter securely.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Step 7: Arrange and Enjoy
|
|
Group a few planters at different heights for a cozy layered look, or let one statement piece stand out. Either way, your DIY hanging planter is sure to elevate your space — literally and stylistically.
