It is possible that among flowering hanging potted plants you have not heard of the columnar plant. They are truly attractive plants, so attractive that they are called “golden carps” because of the flowers they have, colors of golden carp.

The most celebrated are Monalisa, Magnificent and Krakatoa.

Tradescantia

Another flowering houseplant that has also charmed many is Tradescantia. As you know, there are many types and practically all of them are successful. These are compact, not very huge flowers, white or pink, that attract attention (because when they grow quickly, they become very leafy, and when they bloom, they look almost like a bouquet).

wax flower

You either love or hate wax flower. There is no middle ground. These plants, native to Asia and Australia, are characterized by producing flowers that appear to be made of wax (although they are not).

They are quite resistant as long as the right conditions are provided: indirect lighting, a temperature between 18 and 25ºC and adequate watering, without stagnant water, which can cause root rot.

Special care should be taken with this plant in winter. If it is too icy, you should place the plant in a sultry room, because the plant is very susceptible to low temperatures.

Christmas cacti

We continue with indoor flowering hanging plants to show you one that is very common during the Christmas season. It is the Christmas cactus, or more precisely the Schlumbergera or Santa Teresa’s feather.

In addition, The care is very basic and will not cause you any problems (unless you have pets and they will try to eat it because it is toxic to them).

Petunias

If we had previously mentioned geraniums as one of the most popular flowering hanging plants for interiors, the same would apply to petunias, the most classic summer plant.

Its flowers are trumpet-shaped and can be pink, red, blue or even bi-colored.

As a hanging plant, it will take care of its growth and create attractive cascades of flowers. Of course it needs lots and lots of lightweight, and in this case it is best to have full sun. It can withstand any high temperature, but at low temperatures it can die.

Although verbena is a climbing plant, it can also be grown as a hanging plant, creating attractive cascades of bicolored flowers (pink and white).

The plant requires sun, but tolerates partial shade. (that’s why you can have it at home). Don’t water it too much, but check if the soil is soggy. And above all, watch the temperature, because it tolerates the sun well, but not the icy.

Among the begonias, one of the most common hanging houseplants with flowers of this type is the dragon wing begonia, characterized by red flowers that cascade down when hanging.

Good, indirect lighting (since the plant does not like too much sun) and bountiful watering to provide it with adequate nutrition will be quite sufficient.
