Lift your plants into the air

Whether on the living room ceiling, on the city balcony or on the spacious terrace - free-floating plants bring a touch of vibrancy to indoor and outdoor areas.
My four-month-old niece and I already share a fondness for things that hang above us and move. Her eyes light up at babymobiles. Mine are beaming at a plant mobile that resembles a work of art in my eyes. It swings back and forth in the gentle breeze and is a playful element in my understated interior without being kitschy.
Hanging flower pots are decorative and make indoor or outdoor gardens "fly". They save space on the ground and bring plants a little closer to the sun. Another advantage is that the different leaf and growth forms can develop freely in height. In this way, plants such as Pilea glauca or Dischidia nummularia come into their own and the room looks lively and airy.
As a soloist or group
You can choose between flower pots or a hanging platform. I chose the latter. The plant platform from Bloomingville is large enough to display several pots. It comes with a cord that is attached so that the stage hangs horizontally. Nevertheless, when arranging the pots, I had to make sure that the weight was evenly distributed so that everything was level. I attached the plant hanger to the curtain rail and staged it by the window to leave the windowsill free.
Alternatively, plant hangers can also be an eye-catcher from the ceiling inside the room. It is best to organise the mobile flower pots according to the light requirements of your plants. There are no limits to the living jungle: The greenery can sprout from anywhere.
