Simple DIY Hanging Planter

If you’re worried about too many plants cluttering up your space, consider hanging a few from the ceiling. That way, they can still work their magic indoors without taking up your valuable floor space. With wood and rope (and a few other easy-to-find supplies), you can make your own hanging planter.

Essentially, you’ll be making an open-top wood box and drilling holes inside. You can then place a potted plant inside and hang it from the ceiling with some strong rope. Use a ceiling hook to hang it and make sure it’s strong enough to hold the weight of your plant.
