hanging plant

Potted trailing foliage

A hanging plant is a plant grown in a container suspended from above, typically in a basket or pot with chains or rope.

The arrangement suits trailing or cascading species whose foliage spills over the edges: The porch was lined with hanging plants.

Ferns, pothos, and spider plants are popular choices.
