Grow Up, Over or Down
Trailing plants are brilliant when another floor plant simply is not happening.
Use shelves, hanging pots, bookcases and higher surfaces to bring greenery into parts of the room that would otherwise stay empty.
TRAIL OR CLIMB?
Sometimes You Get to Choose
Some plants are much more flexible than they first look.
Certain vining houseplants will naturally trail when left unsupported, but can also be encouraged upwards with a moss pole, stake or other support.
01
TRAIL
Let growth spill naturally from a shelf, pot or hanging planter.
02
CLIMB
Give suitable plants support if you would rather encourage upward growth.
03
LIGHT
Choose the position around the plant’s actual light needs, not just the display.
04
ACCESS
Make sure hanging plants are still practical to reach for watering and care.
RUNNING OUT OF SURFACES?
Use the Space You Already Have
Hanging and trailing plants are one of the easiest ways to add more greenery when floor and surface space is limited. Shelves, higher furniture and hanging planters can all become part of the Jungle.
TRAILING & HANGING HOUSEPLANTS
A Few Things You Might Want to Know
What Are Good Trailing Houseplants? +
Popular trailing houseplants can include Pothos, Scindapsus, Philodendron, String of Hearts, String of Turtles, Peperomia and other vining or cascading plants.
The best choice depends on the light, space and care you can offer, so always check the individual plant’s requirements before choosing.
What’s the Difference Between a Trailing Plant and a Climbing Plant? +
Some plants can do both.
Certain houseplants naturally trail when left unsupported but can also climb if given a moss pole, stake or other support.
Think about whether you want foliage to cascade downwards or grow upwards before deciding how you want to display the plant.
Can Trailing Houseplants Grow in Hanging Pots? +
Many trailing houseplants work brilliantly in hanging pots, provided the plant still gets the light and care it needs.
Make sure the planter is securely fitted, practical enough to reach for watering and positioned somewhere the plant can grow without being constantly knocked or damaged.
Are Trailing Plants Good for Small Spaces? +
Yes. Trailing and hanging plants can be brilliant when floor and surface space is limited because they make use of shelves, walls and higher areas.
You can also explore our Small & Compact Plants if you want more greenery without losing valuable space.
Can Trailing Houseplants Grow in Low Light? +
Some trailing plants tolerate lower light better than others, but being a trailing plant does not automatically make it suitable for a darker room.
Low light also does not mean no light. If your space is darker, explore our Low Light Plants for options chosen specifically around lower light conditions.
How Do I Keep a Trailing Houseplant Looking Full? +
Suitable light, sensible watering and regular care all help trailing plants maintain healthy growth.
Depending on the plant, trimming and propagating growth can also help create a fuller appearance over time.
If your plant is becoming sparse, leggy or struggling, bring a photo into our Plant Clinic and we can help work out what is going on.
Can I Order Trailing Houseplants for UK Delivery? +
Yes. Many trailing and hanging houseplants can be ordered online for delivery across the UK, subject to the delivery options shown on each individual product.
Check the individual plant information for its light, watering and positioning needs before choosing.
