KOMPAS.com – Have decorative plants hanging looks fun and doesn’t take up too much space.

Decorative plants hanging can also be used as an element that can enhance your home.

However, before trying to maintain hanging ornamental plants, first pay attention to the following things so that planting activities are easier while keeping plants healthy:

1. Pay attention to plant weight
A basket or hanging pot full of wet soil and crops will be heavy.

So, before hanging the plant on a wall or ceiling, make sure the structure can withstand the load.

According to The Spruce, avoid attaching the hooks directly to plaster or drywall, making sure the hooks are securely attached to wall posts or ceiling beams.

If you already have a hook, test it before hanging anything.

The choice of potting media will also make a difference. Mostly bagged potting soil is full of peat which is composted as the main material.

Peat has excellent water retention qualities, but is heavier.

To reduce the weight you can reduce the peat mixture by adding perlite.
