Spending a lot of time at home has made us want to adapt, beautify, and make the spaces we inhabit more ours, and a natural and beautiful way to do this is with hanging plants, which are also usually easy to care for.Having plants at home is not only a great way to bring life to your walls and spaces, but they can also help you relax and purify the air, according to NASA (here we tell you about these
air-purifying plants).But having plants at home is almost like adopting a pet, as they also require attention and care. If you're looking to adorn your home with one, we recommend indoor hanging plants that require easy care, so you don’t become a plant killer too quickly.Why hanging plants? Because thanks to their long, cascading branches, they are more eye-catching, plus indoor hanging plants have other benefits; for example, if you don’t have much space or available tables or shelves, they look better hanging from the ceiling. On the other hand, they are a useful option if you have pets that like to chew on indoor plants or small children.These are just 5 options of the easiest indoor hanging plants to care for, but if you liked them a lot, you can later check out these
plant options for the kitchen, or how you can fertilize them with
organic waste.Spider Plant or ‘Mother-in-law’s Tongue’The scientific name of this plant is chlorophytum comosum, but it is better known as spider plant, mother-in-law’s tongue, or love knot. It has long, strip-shaped leaves and arched stems with small plantlets at the ends, which can be cut to make new baby plants. Although they adapt well to low-light conditions, it is best to keep it in a room with bright light. As for watering, you only need to do it when the soil is slightly dry.Pothos or Devil's IvyThis plant is very resilient, making it perfect for beginners. Its scientific name is epipremnum aureum, and it is extremely tolerant, so much so that it can survive weeks without water or light. Place it in a spot with moderate light and let its soil dry completely between waterings.String of PearlsThis succulent has small, bead-like shapes that hang from a long stem, giving it a cascading appearance. Its scientific name is senecio rowleyanus, and as it is part of the succulent family, it does not require continuous watering; just let the soil dry out almost completely between waterings, but it should be in a room that receives a lot of indirect light.Donkey's TailAnother succulent perfect for beginners that has hanging branches is sedum morganianum, also known as burrito or donkey's tail, which has an interesting and very striking texture. Its long stems hang down the sides of the pot, so it will look great in a high place or hanging from the ceiling. Its care is similar to other succulents; it needs bright light and should have completely dry soil between waterings.Photo by Diego Delso,

Its stems are thin, and its leaves are fleshy and heart-shaped. It is best to keep it near a window with plenty of sunlight, but not direct. It does not need frequent watering, just until the soil is completely dry. Additionally, it can bloom and its stems can grow up to 4 meters long.Photo by Ivan I. Boldyrev, license CC-BY-SA-2.5
