What’s your favorite way to hang plants in your house? I have used command strips, curtain rods, and magnetic hooks! #PLANTMAFIA

@MeganO I had one of my command strips fall the other day, but luckily the plant fell on a mound of blankets I store underneath so no plants were harmed. I admittedly didn’t follow the instructions of cleaning the wall, putting the strip on the wall, and waiting several hours to hang the plant. I just stuck the strip to the wall and then immediately hung the plant from it. So I think I kind of deserved to have at least one of them fall. 😅😂
@TinaRedchic I got one of these and mine came tumbling down after 6 months! Department stores sell the kinds of hooks with anchors. I’ll be doing the anchors from now on 🤪
Command Stripes and plants scare the bejeezus out of me. I just don't trust them enough. Plus a lot of my walls are old textured plaster, so they never adhere right. If you're looking to mount something on the wall, I highly recommend Wallygro planters. They come in a variety of colors and work great. I've had Big Boi in one for 5 years now and it's still great. I've added four more in another area, too. In the second photo you can see how they attach to the wall. Super easy!
@foliagegirl I really like the coat stands. Good height, takes up little space and husband won’t loose it if I’m not screwing things into walls and ceiling’s. Haha no I have to find a coat rack.
I tried thoes exact white screw hooks came with my macrame hangers on Amazon but they pulled right out of the ceiling! The drywall in my home is the same thickness as the hooks. And I definitely couldn't trust command hooks so I screwed mine into the studs but then I'm limited on where I can put them because roof joists are 24inches apart. I got to figure something out because I love hanging plants, especially with 3 kids. They are safer up there haha.
Sarah @foliagegirl I love what you created with the coat racks! You can probably find these at flea markets and other used thrift stores. I also bought a hanging plant stand.
@CalitoCarolinaCor hehe thank you! I thought of it after I tried to think of a way to hang plants that wouldn't cause any damage to my house because I'm renting 🥰
@TinaRedchic thank you! Yes! They're a simple, not too expensive solution and don't involve drilling or sticking. Easy to move around too if needed 🥰
I don’t trust the basic screw in hooks for hanging plants from drywall ceilings — they’re probably fine but I worry they’d strip and come loose. So I use these cobra brand books from Home Depot that have a piece that braces against the drywall so you’re not relying on the screw threads. The downside is that I have no idea how I’d get them out when I move, but that’s a problem for future me
