Hanging planters are a great way to have a garden when you don’t quite have the space for a garden. They’re especially great for apartment dwellers, small porches and even indoor spaces (when hung properly with correct lighting and watering). In addition to being great for a variety of spaces, they’re also great for those who wish to have flowers but don’t care for the work of a larger garden. Here are 5 great hanging planters for any space.
Best Traditional Hanging Planter for the Money
When I think of a hanging planter, I think of the Gardman hanging planter with a coco liner. It has the traditional look of a classic hanging planter with a large, 16 inch diameter. You can hang both flowers, standard plants, or vines with this planter, at any height of your choice. The 18 inch chain is adjustable and the white finish compliments the coco lining. Plus, for only $16.99, you can buy more than one!
Best Wicker Hanging Planter for the Money
Martha Stewart did it again with her everyday garden wicker hanging planter. This simple yet sturdy design looks great and is capable of supporting a potted plant. The wicker style is also extremely easy to clean and is great for both indoors and outdoors. You can purchase it through your local store or online for only $19.99.
Best Two Tier Hanging Planter for the Money
If you’re looking to add a little flair for your planter, perhaps the camp creek garden two-tier hanging basket planter. For $29.95, the elegant scroll design looks great in any outdoor space. It features a small basket with a diameter of 9.75 inches with a height of 4.25 inches; as well as the larger basket at 15.75 inches in diameter with a depth of 5.50 inches. The metal design ensures it will stay clean and looking great for years to come.
Best Self-Watering Hanging Basket
If you’re like me and you’re afraid you’ll forget to water your hanging plants, then this self-watering planter is perfect for you. Hanging plants tend to dry out easily, so make your life that much easier with a self-watering basket. It comes in a variety of colors: green, bronze, loden green, terra cotta and white. At $14.95, this shatter resistant polypropylene is ideal. It measures in at approximately 12 inches in diameter and 7 inches in depth. This hanging potter comes with an 18 inch hanging cord so you can adjust as necessary.
Best Multiple Hanging Planter for the Money
If you’re willing to spend a bit more cash on a planter, then this hanging metal cachepot planter is ideal. The gorgeous wrought iron design holds 8 pots at 6 inch diameters each. Hang it over a table for a gorgeous natural faux chandelier. It’s a little more cash out of the pocket, at a $119.00; however if you take into consideration that purchasing 6 hanging potters of the same size runs you the same price – you’re really getting a deal.
When using hanging planters, be sure to water several times a week. Hanging planters are exposed to more air than a traditional garden and therefore the soil dries out much quicker. Be sure to water it several times a week for best results. Happy planting!
