Hanging and trailing house plants

Hanging and trailing house plants will help you create that jungle you’ve always dreamed of or simply soften the edge of a mantle. Read our answers to frequently asked questions below to find the best hanging houseplants for you.

Best indoor trailing plants for the bathroom

When choosing your trailing houseplant for the bathroom, aim for varieties that like high humidity. Philodendron scandens is a top candidate for a steamy bathroom because it mimics its tropical native habitat. This trailing plant has lovely heart shaped leaves and an easy habit meaning it is a great starting point for beginners.

Which trailing house plant is best for low light?

The best trailing house plant for low light is the shade loving epipremnums. These hanging plants have lovely glossy leaves that transform a low light area into a feature. Scindapsus pictus ‘Trebie’ is a prolific grower that tolerates low light and sends out long trailing strands of satin leaves.

Good trailing houseplants for hanging baskets

Have you considered planting up a mixed hanging basket of houseplants? Following the same principles as outdoor hanging baskets, plant a mix of lengths and trailing types to create a balanced display. For long trailing, choose a hoya or philodendron, then for mid trail go for senecio ‘String of Hearts’ and top your basket with the spreading but compact sedum morganianum 'Burrito'.

For a trailing houseplant without the hassle, choose a pre-planted collection like the ‘house plants hanging mixed’. It showcases three of the best trailing houseplants to instantly hang and enjoy.
