The following varieties and their trailing stems, dangling leaves, and gracefully arching shapes will make the best use of your home's vertical spaces.
Baby's Tears
This small houseplant gets its name from the tiny round leaves that line its delicate, trailing stems.
Spider Plant
Gracefully arched, narrow leaves earned the spider plant (Chlorophytum comosum) its name.
Arrowhead Vine
The large, heart-shaped leaves of the arrowhead vine (Syngonium podophyllum) give any room a tropical touch.
Bird's Nest Fern
Enhance contemporary decor by hanging a bird's nest fern (Asplenium nidus) by a window.
Pothos
Adaptable to most growing conditions, a pothos (Epipremnum aureum) is one of the easiest houseplants you can grow.
Philodendron
Another super easy houseplant to grow, the philodendron doesn't mind lower light levels and will bounce back easily if you occasionally forget to water it.
Chenille Plant
The chenille plant (Acalypha hispida) makes an immediate impression.
Maidenhair Fern
Gracefully arching stems of feathery, delicate-looking foliage make the maidenhair fern a stunning hanging plant.
String of Pearls
String of pearls (Senecio rowleyanus) is a distinctive hanging plant, thanks to its plump, round leaves running along each long, stringlike stem
String of Hearts
Arguably the most adorable option for an indoor hanging plant is the string of hearts (Ceropegia woodii).
Staghorn Fern
This isn't your typical fern. Staghorn ferns have bold, broad leaves that never fail to make a statement.
