Hanging Planter

A hanging planter is a suspended container. It creates a vertical garden on a balcony without occupying ground space.

The hanging planter should be installed on the balcony railing (with safety fastening), along an exterior wall. You should choose trailing plants (surfinia, ivy) for a cascade effect.

Pitfall: a poorly secured hanging planter falling into the void. Safety fastening is critical, especially on upper floors.

Hanging planters optimize space on a balcony or terrace by creating a vertical garden. They also offer a higher cultivation height, which facilitates plant maintenance.

Trailing plants, perennials with a spreading habit, and small shrubs are generally best suited for a hanging planter. Avoid plants that are too water or sun-hungry, which could suffer in this environment.

Make sure to use appropriate and resistant fixings to install your hanging planter. Opt for hooks or wall supports capable of supporting the weight of the planter filled with soil and plants.

The most suitable materials for a hanging planter are metal, wood, or resistant plastic. They must be both durable and lightweight to facilitate the installation and movement of the planter.

Regular watering and an appropriate fertilizer supply are essential to keep plants healthy in a hanging planter. Remember to regularly check the solidity of the fixings and replace the soil if necessary.
