10 Unique Ways to Hang Plants Without Drilling.

With the following methods, you can easily enjoy the tranquility of plants indoors without any hassle and add different aesthetics to your surroundings. So let’s get started :

1. Hang Plants on Coat Stand.

Hanging Style : If you’re looking for the easiest and most sturdy way to hang plants, a coat stand is the best because you can easily install it in a corner of the room or any empty space. Moreover, you can use it at different heights and hang different styles of plants if you want.

Pros & Cons :

✅ Easily portable, which is very useful when moving house.

❌ Hanging too many plants together looks unsightly.

❌Water used in plant care must be added carefully.

2. Using Ladders to Hang Plants.

Hanging Style : If someone is a big plant lover or is interested in decoration, then a metal or wooden ladder may be the only solution because you can display many plants at once on such a small canvas. Especially if you hang the plants on it with colorful ropes using different colors, no matter what type of ladder it is, it becomes very attractive for the guests.

Pros & Cons :

✅ No fear of installation or overturning.

✅ Adds extra aesthetics to the interior.

❌ Requires a little open space.

❌ Overweight plants should be discarded.

3. Plants Hang on Magnetic Hooks.

Hanging Style : Although magnetic hooks require a metal surface to use, the plants with thin and light stems can be hung anywhere with ease and are easy to move without any hassle if sunlight is needed for care over time. You can also hang herbs in the kitchen with magnetic hooks, which will help make your cooking more delicious.

Pros & Cons :

✅ The hook adds extra style if it is black in color.

✅ Anyone can install it without any hassle.

❌Hanging heavy plants is risky because if the magnet has low holding power, it can fall at any time.

❌It is not possible to hang it anywhere other than on a metal surface.

4. Hanging Plants on the Suction Cup.

Hanging Style : Plants that often need sunlight can be hung on a window or balcony glass using suction cups, which will refresh them in no time, and you can move any plant at any time without any hassle. With this method, if you need a free space in your house, you can immediately hang the plants in that place using suction cups for a certain period of time.

Pros & Cons :

✅ Works great for exposing plants to the sun to protect them from diseases and pests.

✅ Creating a green canvas with unused equipment.

❌ Sunlight entering through glass windows obstructs the flow of light.

❌ Unable to carry extra weight

5. Use Curtain Rods for Plants Hanging.

Hanging Style : When I moved for the second time, I had a lot of indoor plants from my previous house which was very difficult for me to set up in the new house, then my wife shared with me the idea of hanging plants on curtain rods which I did not agree with at all. But after a few days of hanging plants, I noticed that hanging plants on curtain rods really adds extra beauty to the interior and makes it feel a bit like a jungle. In this case, you must use an S hook.

Pros & Cons :

✅ No need to waste any extra money or go through any hassle.

✅ The best choice for sun-loving plants

❌ Sometimes plants need to be pruned to avoid obstructions to movement.

❌ Of course, you have to be careful about excess weight.

6. For Hanging Plants Use Command Hooks.

Hanging Style : Although this adhesive hook cannot withstand much weight, it can be set anywhere in the house and the hook’s setting process is shown in the picture on the back of the packet, which makes it easy for anyone to set it. Hang light plants like air plants or Portulaca on this type of hook and of course keep an eye on the growth of the plant because if the weight is more than the capacity, there is a possibility of an accident at any time.

Pros & Cons :

✅ There is almost no chance of damage to the wall.

✅ It can be set in any empty space on the wall.

❌ Hanging a plant that is too heavy is risky.

❌The adhesive’s holding power may decrease if the hook comes into contact with water in any way.

7. Hanging Arm Plant Stands.

Hanging Style : If you don’t want to go through the hassle of hanging plants on the walls or ceiling of your home, a hanging stand with arms can be a great choice. You can also hang multiple plants of any weight at once in this way. Placing it in a corner of the room or in front of a doorway adds extra style to the interior that will catch the eye of any visitor.

Pros & Cons :

✅ The stand can withstand any weight if it is made of metal.

✅ The biggest advantage is that it is completely hassle-free to install.

❌ Adding extra plants takes up a little more space than necessary.

❌ After using water as needed for plant care, the stand should be washed with a dry cloth.

8. Use Tension Rods Hanging Plants.

Hanging Style : Most of the time, in our busy city life, we forget to open our balcony doors or windows or we don’t need to. But if we spend a little money and buy Tension rods and set them in those places, we can easily create a plant canvas. In this case, we must use extra hooks that will keep the plant firmly attached to the rod.

Pros & Cons :

✅ There’s no problem with being install.

✅ Hanging the plants in rows does not cause much disruption in maintenance.

❌ Does not tolerate excess weight.

❌ There is a possibility of it falling off if not set firmly.

9. Hang Plants on Ceiling Hooks Pads.

Hanging Style : Although the ceiling hook is small in size, its adhesive pad sticks very firmly to the ceiling, where you can easily hang plants with light and thin stems. Hanging it above a coffee table or wardrobe creates an aesthetic cluster of mini plants. In this case, be sure to find white hooks and hang the plants from the extra hooks.

Pros & Cons :

✅ Drill-free and does not damage the ceiling.

✅ Does not take up any space on the surface like other hooks

❌ Taking care of plants is a little difficult.
