House plants have been a feature of the home since the invention of homes. Keeping plants indoors can be traced back to civilizations as early as the ancient Greeks and Romans.

Other, older civilizations like Ancient China, India and Egypt also used potted plants as a decorative feature – though they were most popular in outdoor spaces like courtyards.

In recent history, house plants have continued to become some of the most popular interior decoration accessories.

House plants have a range of practical and psychological benefits which contribute to their appeal. Living with a range of lush house plants is known to improve mental health, and has been linked to a feeling of “vacation while at home.”

This is likely because house plants create a link to the natural world, bringing a sense of wildness and freedom into modern homes. House plants also inspire creativity, and watching them flourish under your care is a uniquely rewarding experience. Studies suggest that house plants can enhance an individual’s mood, productivity, concentration, and even memory.

The process of gardening and plant maintenance is a rhythmic and simple one which lowers stress levels and can even reduce fatigue. Certain house plants can even filter pollutants in the air and improve oxygen levels – for more information on air purifying house plants, see here.

So, why hanging house plants? There are a few reasons that wall hanging pots have skyrocketed in popularity recently.

For one, they free up space for more plants on the ground! Given that the current trend is to squeeze as many plants as physically possible into the one area, hanging plants have become a practical solution to make full use of a space.

They are also excellent for smaller rooms because they keep the floor space free, cutting down on the bulk of a large pot or the challenge of finding a place for the plant where it can be seen and admired without getting in the way.

A hanging wall planter also broadens the type of plants you can choose from; plants with hanging leaves like tradescantia, philodendron, and bird’s nest ferns are some of the most popular choices for hanging pots because their leaves trail down towards the ground in a beautiful display that brings a little elegant jungle-chic into your home.

When choosing a hanging wall planter for your home, there are a few things to consider.

First, the type of plant you want to keep inside. Research will come in handy here, as you only want to choose a plant with needs that you are able to fulfill; i.e. lighting requirements will determine where you can put the plant, as well as watering and growth (make sure not to get a plant that will outgrow its pot if you want to hang it!).

Once you’ve decided the type of the plant, you will know what kind of pot it will require and where in your house it will need to go in order to get the appropriate amount of sunlight. To help you narrow down the search, here is a list of some of the best hanging wall planters available for purchase in Australia today.
