If you take your hanging plant out of doors to water it, be sure the weather isn't too cold or too hot and be sure not to leave it out in the bright sunlight because the change from the house to the out doors could burn the foliage in a very short time. Be sure your hanging plants are securely anchored. Fasten hooks securely into ceiling joists. Hooks that swivel allow the gardener to rotate the plants at each watering, exposing all sides of the plant to the light for prettier growth. For hard to reach locations such as stairwells and skylights, pulleys to lower and raise the plants are convenient.
Proper maintenance is the key to healthy, lush houseplants.
Observe the response of your plants in different windows until you find the best light exposure for each one. Asparagus ferns thrive in a southwest window especially during the winter months, while Boston ferns prefer a northern exposure. Grape ivy and pothos are more adaptable, tolerating varying light levels. Keep in mind also that a more mature plant can adapt to light which is not ideal much more readily than a less mature plant. Provide hanging plants with a lightweight, well-drained potting medium.
