String Of Pearls
Although this plant originally grows on the ground in some parts of Africa, string of pearls is also a beautiful hanging plant. This cascading succulent grows unique pearls in a vine like fashion. Being part of the succulent family, string of peals requires a bright space and minimal watering. This ‘hard to kill’ species is the perfect hanging plant for a beginner.
String Of Nickels
String of nickels, otherwise known as a button orchid, is another vining succulent plant that is excellent for a hanging planter. You’ll notice its very similar to string of pearls, and its also a very easy plant to maintain. String of nickels is perfect for a hanging basket, or you can put it on the edge of a shelf like Little Lands Melbourne did.
String Of Turtles
How adorable is this string of turtles plant?! String of turtles, otherwise known as Peperomia Prostrata is another great plant for hanging. It grows very tiny leaves that mimic a turtle shell. So cool! They have the ability to grow much larger than this little guy from Love Houseplants, just plant it in a larger pot and the vines will grow wild!
Burro’s Tail Indoor Hanging Plant
Another great hanging plant in the succulent family is Burro’s Tail, otherwise known as donkey’s tail. Its arms twist and turn as it grows downward creating a beautifully interesting plant. Perfect for hanging in front of a window. This trailing succulent, this plant is easy to care for with minimal water and lots of sunlight. This particular burro’s tail succulent belongs to Paula.

If you’re looking for an indoor hanging plant that will make a statement, the Boston fern is for you! These ferns will keep growing as long as you continue to increase the size of their pot. You know what they say, grow big or grow home! (just kidding no one says that). I’m loving this bundle of green boho goodness from Apartment Therapy, its the perfect plant for a large window.
Pothos Plant (Devil’s Ivy)
Pothos plant, otherwise known as devils ivy, is another low maintenance house plant. Occasional watering when the soil is dry and medium sunlight is all this vine plant needs to stay happy. With long hanging vines and big green leaves, this plant is a great choice for a hanging planer. See exactly how Connie and Luna care for their pothos plant here.
