What did one hanging plant say to another? “Hang in there!”

Hanging plants hang from the roof with support or are in a container. Hanging plants are unique and add a floating and trendy element to your home. They are super fresh and would provide you with a colorful view without occupying any space in your home. Now the question is, which hanging plant to choose, Artificial or Real? I would suggest artificial ones. Let’s weigh some pros of choosing faux plants for the fresh ones in your home.

Faux hanging plants are lighter

Every single entity is made of cells. Elements in these cells differ and so do the resulting material. Natural plants and flowers are made of cellulose, a structural carbohydrate that is heavier. While faux plants are made of plastics, cotton, wool, or other kinds of lighter material. Plus, there is soil/dirt kept in natural plants which further increases the weight. So the resulting flowers and plants are heavier in weight as compared to faux ones.

Faux hanging plants are easier to tie/hang

The first point directly relates to this point. When hanging plants are lighter in weight they would be easier to hang. They would just be hung with a simple knot or good-quality double-sided tape. While in natural plants you would have to properly create a hanging place able to hang heavier weights like a nail drilled in the wall.

No chance of falling, of heavy stuff

Natural plants are accompanied by dirt/soil and the weight is increased, if by any chance the natural hanging plants fall, so would the dirt and it would create a mess of things. In faux plants, even if plants do fall there would be no dirt or mess.

Natural hanging plants need water and sunlight

You need to continuously add water to your natural plants, hanging or not. So, that would create an additional tiresome chore to maintain the plants. The water in the hanging container can drip down from it and get the floor dirty. This would not be the case in artificial plants and flowers. Natural plants also need sunlight so hanging them in a place where there is direct sunlight is important. With faux plants that won’t be an issue either, they would just hang around without any water and sunlight.
