Plants, like pets, can keep us company. They relax us, help us forget stress and, incidentally, they brighten up our day. So how about a selection of flowering indoor hanging plants?
If you are looking for a flowering plant that is also trailing, and for the interior, we offer you several options here that are not bad at all. Do you want to consult them?
lipstick factory
It is possible that under this name you will not find it in stores, but rather with that of Aeschynanthus (there are several types). It is a plant with green leaves (some are green and purple) that blooms with a showy flowerhence its name (because they are shaped like one).
This plant does not need to be outside, nor direct sun; that is why it can be kept inside the house in a very bright place. Of course, he does not like drafts or temperature. And neither do the puddles. On the other hand, it prefers humidity to watering.
column
It is possible that among the flowering indoor hanging plants you have not heard of columnae. They are really beautiful plants, so much so that they are called the “golden carp” because of the flowers they have, colors of golden carp.
The best known are the monalisa, the magnificent and the krakatau.
As for their maintenance, they are tropical plants, so they will need extra humidity compared to other plants. Sun too, but not direct, but indirect. So to place it in the bathroom or the kitchen, where there is the most humidity, it will be perfect.
Tradescantia
Another indoor hanging flowering plant, which has also captivated many, is the Tradescantia. As you know, there are many types, and practically all of them bloom. They are small flowers, not very large, white or pink, which will attract attention (because when they grow quickly they become very leafy and when they bloom they look almost like a bouquet).
As for the care, we cannot tell you that it is delicate, because it is not. But you need to give it what it needs so that it doesn’t start losing leaves, flowers and “going bald”. Now, if this happens to you, don’t throw it away, because it might reappear (it’s very durable).
wax flower
You can love the wax flower or hate it. There is no middle ground. These plants native to Asia and Australia are characterized by the fact that they produce flowers that appear to be made of wax (although this is not true).
They are quite resistant as long as their conditions are met: indirect lighting, temperatures between 18 and 25°C and adequate watering without waterlogging which can cause the roots to rot.
With this plant where you should be more careful is in winter. If it is too cold, it will have to be put in a warm room because it suffers a lot from low temperatures.
geraniums
One of the best known and used plants in Spain are geraniums. And maybe what you don’t know is that it could be pendants. Within indoor flowering hanging plants, geraniums will brighten up your daily lifeespecially since they will offer you a fairly abundant flowering.
However, it needs much more sun than the previous ones, in the sense that it requires a few hours of direct sunlight. Beyond that, and by controlling the watering, it won’t cause you many problems because it is one of the plants that tolerates just about anything.
We continue with indoor flowering hanging plants to show you one that is very common to have at Christmas. This is the case of the Christmas cactus, or more precisely of the Schlumbergera or the Santa Teresa feather.
This cactus is one of the few that can be indoors since it only requires partial shade. instead of direct light.
Also, a tip you should give yourself when watering this plant is that you always use lukewarm (not cold) water to prevent the plant’s roots from suffering.
Beyond that, the care is very basic and will not cause you any problems (unless you have pets and they try to eat it, as it’s toxic to them).
petunias
If before we told you about geraniums as one of the well-known flowering indoor hanging plants, the same thing would happen to us with petunias, the most classic for summers.
Its flowers are trumpet-shaped and can be pink, red, blue or even two-tone.
As a trailing plant, it will take care of growing and creating beautiful cascades of flowers. Of course, it needs lots and lots of light, and in this case it’s best if it’s in full sun. It can withstand any high temperature, but at low temperature it can die.
And as for irrigation, do it abundantly and daily in summer, but without going too far.
Verbena
Although verbena is a creeping plant, the truth is that it can also be kept as a pendant, creating beautiful cascades of two-tone flowers (pink and white).
It will need full sun, but it tolerates partial shade. (that’s why you can have it inside the house). Don’t overwater it, but make sure the soil is moist. And especially pay attention to the temperature because the sun supports it well but not the cold.
begonia dragon wing
Among the begonias, one of the flowering indoor hanging plants of this type is the dragon’s wing, characterized by red flowers that cascade when hanging.
In fact, do not be afraid that it can reach a meter or a meter and a half. It needs very large pots for the roots to develop and yes, its aerial roots too. Good indirect lighting (because it doesn’t like the sun too much) and good watering to keep it nourished will be more than enough.
Diascia barberae
We continue with more hanging flowering plants to offer you this other, with a hanging port, but which also serves as a tapestry. Its pink, red or purple flowers come out in the spring.
It can adapt to partial shade, but we recommend having it in full sun so that its flowering is normal (abundant). Otherwise, he will hardly throw you flowers.
queen earrings
And we finish the flowering of indoor hanging plants with these. Fuchsia is one of the hanging plants that will most attract your attention because of the flowers it producesin various shades of red, pink and purple (although there are many varieties).
It needs lots of water and a few hours of sunshine to be happy.
As you can see, there are many flowering indoor hanging plants that you could have at home. Do you recommend one that we haven’t mentioned?
