18 Unexpected Hanging Planters for Your Indoor Garden

Oh, how we love a hanging basket. Made in Brooklyn by artist Bekka Palmer, they’re available in five cheerful colors and two sizes for mixing and matching.

Don’t let the streamlined steel exterior fool you—there are extra clever design secrets, like the nylon wick for consistent drainage, hidden from view. These are handcrafted in Buenos Aires; there’s also a mounted version available.

For those who prefer a little stoneware, try this cutie from Durham, North Carolina—based shop The Zen Succulent.

These black-and-brass Deco-inspired planters are all about the hardware.

Crafted from the paper used to make labels for jeans, these washable plant bags more than won us over with their black-and-white grid design and gold fixtures. They’re also washable if you need to spruce them up.

Talk about vertical integration. The artisans who make these beautiful hanging planter baskets in Gitarama, Rwanda, also grow and harvest the sisal plants their products are made with before turning them into woven artwork.

What’s better than a beautifully dipped, sunset-colored ceramic hanging planter? A whole hanging planter set! Plus, we stan Justina Blakeney and her beautiful brand, Jungalow.

Known for working with wood and cork, Melanie Abrantes applies her eye to the hanging planter with this shallow charcoal option. The dark leather straps add visual intrigue.

What can we say, we’re having a cork moment. But really, because the material is porous (and great to look at), it makes a great home for plants and doesn’t require a drainage hole (which means less messy cleanup). And we really like the peekaboo cutouts for the cotton cord.

Outfitted with a convenient drainage hole and built-in ring for easy hanging, this tiny terra-cotta has an earthy but elevated look.

The metal cord, matte texture, and deep-dish shape add cool factor to these ceramic planters, which are also suitable for outdoor use.

Don’t worry, we still very much adore macramé, especially in the form of these imaginative suspended propagation stations. They come highly recommended by the seller for indoor plant addicts who consistently run out of shelf space for their cuttings.

The bulbous shape and colorful handles on this ceramic pot, handmade in London, will make it an adorable addition to your vertical garden.

Minimalists might be inclined to try a dusty ceramic hanging planter with a leather cord for their smaller houseplants.

Designer Olivia Rose defies all expectations around plant pots (and botanical design in general) with her NYC-based brand, Bodega Rose. The basketball planters are just one example of her DIY ingenuity–she’s also been known to put cacti in tennis ball pots and tulips in Louis Vuitton bags.

Perfectly suited for small plants or succulents, this creamy porcelain wall planter packs an extra flourish with a distinctive brass ring. Small note: There’s no drainage hole on this one, so you might also consider it for an air plant.
