Once, I made a bunch of macrame hangers for plant pots.
Okay, so then I had all these hangers and even the pots.
The one thing I didnt realise, is just how many houseplants with vines I had to choose from.
The Heartleaf Philodendron can grow in a dry atmosphere, but will need to be misted regularly.
It prefers warmer temperatures and only moderate to bright sunlight.
If the plant is not getting enough light, the leaves will grow more sparsely along the vines.
However, too much direct sunlight will scorch the leaves.
Indoor lighting is a good steady source of light for this plant.
The soil should contain organic material, but must drain well.
It sends out long tendrils on which the leaves grow alternately.
The vines can be trained quite easily to grow along or around any key in of support.
They are particularly attractive when trained to grow along a wall.
Using wire or string can make this a specific picture or pattern.
For the best growth, Pothos prefers a lot of light, but it should be indirect.
This means they should not be grown next to a window inside, but in a bright area.
They can also tolerate some shade.
Pothos doesnt need a lot of water.
In fact, they can be watered only every 7 to 14 days.
In bright light, this may need to be more frequent.
They do prefer a soil that is rich in nutrients, though.
The tendrils are strong and covered with small succulent leaves.
This plant should be grown in the sun.
Ideally, this means a few hours in full sun and the rest of the time in partial sun.
It can also grow in semi-shade, but is stronger with at least some full sun.
It may only need watering every 7 to 10 days.
If the leaves begin to pucker slightly, this is a sign that the plant needs water.
The Donkeys Tail needs to grow in a sandy soil that is well-drained.
Mostly, it will do well with a soil mixture for succulents or cacti.
The vines can also be encouraged to travel along a windowsill or ledge.
It needs a moderate amount of water, preferably when the top of the soil is dry.
During winter, it will need less water.
The soil should retain moisture, but must also be well-drained.
The Creeping Fig is quite adaptable, growing in full sun and also in partial shade.
The light should be indirect, rather than full sun.
This means the plant should not grow next to a window.
The best soil for this plant is an organically rich mix that is well-drained.
It needs a moderate amount of water and the soil should be kept damp, not wet.
They are not demanding and can thrive with only the slightest care.
These plants prefer warm conditions, with bright but indirect light.
They can also tolerate low light and grow well under artificial lights too.
If the conditions are too warm, they will need to be watered quite regularly.
However, generally, Spider Plants need a moderate amount of water.
When the soil dries, it should be dampened thoroughly.
Too much water can rot the roots.
They need a moderate amount of water and must not become waterlogged through over-watering.
It is best to grow an Inch Plant in well-drained soil that is neutral to acidic.
The long, quick growing tendrils of the Inch Plant are easy to train over any support.
They are also great plants to use in a hanging basket.
The leaves are usually dark green, but may also be variegated.
The soil that is best suited to English Ivy is well-drained and organically rich.
The plants need little water, so should only be watered once every 10 14 days or so.
The best indication is when the soil is dry.
Then it should be soaked, not drenched.
English Ivy prefers full or partial shade and full sunlight can burn the leaves.
It needs soil that is quite sandy and well-drained, but is rich in organic matter.
The soil must not be allowed to become soggy.
Mandevilla vines prefer a bright, sunny location, although they can grow in partial or semi-shade.
This makes them perfect for a verandah, or a glassed-in patio.
However, you’re able to grow them in the house, but near an open window.
Too little direct light will mean fewer, less bright flowers.
It produces particularly sweet-smelling flowers, which makes this a favorite indoor and outdoor plant.
Jasmine loves the sun and can grow well in direct sunlight.
However, if the temperatures are very hot, then it should be in a position with indirect light.
It generally needs a moderate amount of water and should be watered once every 7 10 days.
However, when the temperatures rise, Star Jasmine will need more regular watering.
The soil must not be allowed to become soggy, or the plant may develop root rot.
The plants can reach up to three metres.
This is quite an easy plant to grow indoors and can adapt to different levels of light.
It really is not a high-maintenance plant.
The pot itself should drain easily, so that the soil doesnt become water-logged.
It should be neutral or slightly acidic.
The flowers grow among the pointed leaves on many vines or stems that eventually become intertwined.
They will grow around any support.
The Black-eyed Susan vine is native to Africa and is used to warm temperatures.
It needs quite a lot of bright light, but not direct sunlight.
This means the Black-eyed Susan should be watered quite regularly.
Its hardy, quite easy to care for, and grows easily and prolifically.
It is also a very attractive indoor plant.
Most indoor plants need to grow in well-drained soil and so does the Chinese Money plant.
It needs regular watering, but the soil must dry out in between.
A Pilea plant needs to get enough indirect light.
This usually means in a bright area inside, or on a protected porch.
