To show you some of the names of indoor plants that hang , we have decided to start with these because they are really decorative and curious. Columneas, also called golden carp , are a whole genus with almost 200 species and of tropical origin. Its flowers are very showy and of usually warm colors. Among the best known are the following:

There are both terrestrial and aerial orchids. These plants, so appreciated for the large number of flowers they produce, are common as indoor plants, since they need temperatures above 0 degrees. The hanging orchids are all of the terrestrial type, and the best known of them are the Cymbidium orchids . Among them is:

• Cymbidium insigne
• Darling ivory
• Cymbidium devonianun
• Cumbidium aloifolium
• Cymbidium bicolor

Dischidia is a genus of plants that is also called the Million Hearts plant, the ant plant, or the pregnant plant, as these insects tend to use the hollow leaves of the plant for their nests. It is an epiphytic and climbing perennial plant , which has its origin in tropical Southeast Asia and Australia. There are a large number of species, among which are the following:

The Hoya linearis or hoya carnosa , also called the wax flower plant , is another of the hanging and climbing plants most appreciated in gardening. Its leaves are a bright dark green and its stems usually grow in a spiral, giving it a unique and very striking appearance. In addition, its inflorescences are very fragrant, emitting a pleasant sweet smell.

In this other post we give you tips for growing the wax flower .

Succulents are always aesthetically highly valued plants for their striking shapes, so different from herbaceous ones. In addition, they usually need less care and are more resistant than most indoor plants. The hanging succulents tend to drop their stems like a waterfall, many with showy flowers of bright colors. These are some of them:

• Christmas cactus
• donkey glue
• Banana chain
• Rat tail
• Crassula pellucida
• Rosary plant
• Monkey’s tail
• Rhipsalis
• Othonna capensis

As you can see, there are a huge number of hanging succulents, and their shapes are so different that it is worth taking a look at each example on the list to be able to choose the one we like the most for our home.

Aerial plants are sometimes considered hanging, especially when it comes to interior designs. As these plants do not need soil or substrate for their growth, but instead feed on suspended particles and air humidity, it is easy to place them anywhere, even on vertical surfaces, so that their leaves and stems hang down. In addition, there are many creative ways to place these plants in almost any corner or wall of your home and give it a unique and very different touch. Some of these flowering houseplants have really striking shapes, so it’s worth giving them a try.

Some aerial plants are:

• Tillandsia xerographica
• Tillandsia head of Medusa
• Tillandsia ionantha v. ionantha

Petunias are another very popular hanging plant , as they create large bushy flower beds, very dense in their branches. The same plant can present flowers of different colors , which makes it perfect for decorating interior spaces with a cheerful touch. Most of their species have their origin in South America, so they do not usually withstand very cold temperatures well, something that also makes them very suitable for being indoors.

Very popular in Spain, geraniums are traditionally used to decorate terraces and balconies in the warm months, but they can be perfectly adapted indoors and give color to the room. These plants, which can be pruned to be rounded or allowed to grow hanging , produce very abundant and showy blooms.

In addition, they are suitable plants for beginners, as they require little care. If you like this plant for your home, do not hesitate to consult this Practical Guide to Geranium Care from AgroCorrn.
