How to Choose a Hanging Plant Stand
There are plenty of reasons why someone would choose a hanging plant stand but the two common reasons are lack of space and aesthetic appeal. Regardless of what your reasons are, there are some things that you need to keep in mind before settling for one hanging plant stand or another.
The size of your future hanging plant stand is important and there are several other factors to consider before opting for a size. You need to take into account the number of plants you’ll be displaying. Some planters will only provide room for one plant, while others can hold multiple pots.
The design of the planter is extremely important, especially if you’re opting for hanging plant stands for aesthetic reasons. Luckily, there are plenty of design options when it comes to these products, so it’s mostly a matter of finding something that matches your existing decor. Regardless of the style you’re trying to match, there is likely a number of plant stands out there suitable for you.
You need to make sure that the hanging mechanism is sturdy enough to support the weight of the plant you want to hand. You shouldn’t have a problem with smaller stands because they can accommodate small plants that don’t weigh a lot, but if you choose one that holds multiple planters, you want to make sure you don’t exceed the recommended amount of weight.
The cost of the hanging plant stands might be important for people who don’t want to spend too much money on one. The abundance of different materials and options available has led to a very broad price range. You can find good plant hangers that cost as little as $10, while other more sophisticated and durable options can cost more than $100.
DIY Hanging Plant Stand Ideas
If you are passionate about DIY projects, you should consider making your own plant stands. Needless to say, the internet is filled with step-by-step instructions and tutorials that are super-easy to follow, and we’re going to give you some examples.
If you want to make your own hanging rope planter, you are going to need some four-inch pots, ⅜-inch rope, plastic bags, 5 ½-inch x 24-inch barn board, pencil, clamps, tape measure, utility knife, scissors, ½-inch drill bit, drill, and a 3 ½-inch hole saw.
Clamp the wood on your desk or whatever working surface you’re currently using.
Locate the center of the board and use the hole saw to cut a hole in that spot.
Make two more holes on the left and rise side of the first hole, making sure they both have around 5 inches in diameter.
Using your ruler and tape measure, mark one inch from the short and long sides of your board and drill holes using the ½-inch drill bit.
Grab your thread rope and pass it through the small holes that you drilled on the side of the board. Make sure that you tie the loose ends in a knot on the bottom side of the board.
Your hanging plant support should now have four strands of rope that can be hung into the location of your choice.
Place plastic bags inside your pots and put the planters in the large holes you drilled.
Best Hanging Plant Stands
Abston Paulownia Wood Hanging Planter
Available in two size options, the Abston Paulownia hanging stand has a very rustic appeal to it, being a round-cut piece of wooden truck that uses a rope system for ceiling suspension. The three pieces of rope meet at the top where they create a loop that makes it easy for you to hang this to a hook. With the two size options, you have more versatility in terms of plant sizes that can actually fit on this thing.
Brentnal Metal Hanging Planter
When you want a modern set of two hanging planters with a stunning black finish and minimalist lines, this should be one of your go-to options. These planters are supported by a pop-up cross-frame and two hooks that are connected to the hanging rod. They are made entirely out of metal but most likely like the coating needed to make them rust-resistant, which means that you can’t use these outside. Note that they will only support up to 10 pounds in combined weight, but they’re mostly suitable for small plants.
2 Tier Seagrass Hanging Planter
If you are a fan of all things wicker, you are going to love the appeal of these two hanging planters. Connected to one another using three strands of rope, these planters have container baskets of different sizes, with the top one being smaller than the one on the bottom. Out of all the models we’ve seen today, these have the lowest weight capacity, capable of supporting only 4.4 pounds in weight. They are designed with an interior plastic nylon coating to prevent water leakage (without it, the plants would make a mess, especially since there are no drainage holes and the material would likely be ruined when soaked).
Brigman Steel Hanging Planter
The unique appeal of the Brigman hanging planter convinced us that it should be a part of this list. This is basically a hanging planter designed for indoor and outdoor use, as it sports a weather-resistant construction. It comes with an ornate steel frame and romantic details that will enhance the appeal of every patio or balcony. The coconut liner is certainly something you don’t see in hanging planters that often, which makes this product further more interesting.
Estarlin 4 – Piece Ceramic Hanging Planter Set
The design of this hanging planter would be worth the money even if the quality of the planter was junk (which is not the case, but you get my point). The four colorful ceramic pots hanging from the rope thread looks like one of the most pleasant things you’ve ever seen. These are perfect for a bunch of succulents, especially since the 4” H x 4” W x 4” D doesn’t really leave much room for anything else. While identical in size, the pots have different colors, namely blue, pink, yellow, and green.
Wooden Rope Shelf Macrame Hanging Planter
With an extremely simple design, yet one that manages to draw attention, this Dakota Fields hanging planter is another product completely worth your money. It brings forth a combination of wood and macramé hand-woven by Vietnamese artists. Measuring 47” H x 11.8” W x 11.8” D overall, this hanging planter fits pots of different shapes and sizes, provided that the diameter of the pot doesn’t exceed 10 inches. It can be placed indoors and outside, and the tassel located at the bottom is one design feature that we found to be adorable.
GROWNEER 5 Packs Macrame Plant Hangers
If you are a macramé fan, few other products can beat the convenience and design of this five-piece hanging planter set. The handmade woven ropes are made entirely out of cotton and hold plant pots of different sizes, provided they don’t measure more than 10 inches in diameter. Each of the five macramé support systems is available in different lengths and the package also contains five hooks for easy suspension. Oh, did I mention they are delivered in the most adorable gift box?
Umbra Triflora Hanging Planter for Window
The last suggestion for today is another three-pot hanging planter that can be mounted above your window, on the wall or the ceiling, to keep your plants bathing in sunlight while you enjoy the green view. The planters will fit standard three-inch pot sizes without the need for repotting. Each of the three ropes has an adjustable length so that you can mess around with the height of the planters as you please. The ropes can also be moved left and right on the metal rod.
In Conclusion
The market is not a stranger to hanging plant stands and systems and, as long as you know a few basic rules that help separate the good products from the bad ones, finding a plant stand that you like is pretty easy. Just make sure you pay attention to the recommended weight limits, as anything that’s too heavy can cause the entire thing to collapse.
