If you’re like me and looking to spruce up your home or office with some low-light hanging plants, there are a few things to keep in mind. One important aspect to consider is the type of pot you’ll be using. For hanging plants, it’s best to opt for lightweight materials such as plastic or these unique pothead planters.

These materials make it easier to move your plant around and prevent any accidents from happening. Additionally, don’t forget to select the right soil type for your plant.

A soil mix with higher organic matter is optimal, as it will provide the necessary nutrients without overfeeding your plant.

One of the most important things to remember when fertilizing these plants is to choose the right fertilizer type. Look for a fertilizer that is specifically designed for low-light plants, as these formulas will contain the appropriate nutrients that these types of plants need. It’s also important to use a slow-release fertilizer, which will provide your plants with a steady supply of nutrients over time. To apply the fertilizer, simply dilute it with water according to the instructions on the package and use a watering can to apply it to the soil. With the right fertilizer and a little bit of care, your low-light hanging plants will thrive for years to come.
