Hanging Basket

Plant Grouping for a Hanging Basket (Medium Light):

1. Spider Plant (Chlorophytum comosum)
• Care: Bright, indirect light; water when the top inch of soil is dry. Well-draining soil is important, and it prefers moderate humidity.
• Notes: The arching leaves of the Spider Plant spill over the edges of the basket, creating a cascading effect. It's easy to care for and often produces small "pups" or baby plants.
2. Pothos (Epipremnum aureum)
• Care: Medium to bright, indirect light; water when the top inch of soil is dry. Prefers well-draining soil and occasional misting.
• Notes: Pothos is a versatile trailing plant with heart-shaped leaves that can be variegated with yellow or white. It's hardy and can tolerate a range of lighting conditions, making it perfect for a hanging basket.
3. String of Pearls (Senecio rowleyanus)
• Care: Bright, indirect light to medium light; water when the soil is dry. Prefers well-draining soil, and be cautious not to overwater as it is a succulent.
• Notes: The String of Pearls plant adds a unique texture to the basket with its bead-like, trailing stems. It's a stunning contrast to the broader leaves of the Spider Plant and Pothos.

Arrangement Tips:

• Place the Spider Plant in the center to allow its arching leaves to cascade down.
• Add the Pothos around the sides to let its vines trail gracefully over the edges.
• Position the String of Pearls to add a unique draping effect, with its bead-like strands spilling over the basket.

Care Summary:

• Light: All three plants prefer medium to bright, indirect light.
• Water: Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings for Spider Plant and Pothos. Water String of Pearls only when the soil is dry to the touch.
• Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix, with some added perlite or sand for better drainage, especially for the String of Pearls.
