We get it, sometimes our love for houseplants outweighs the small spaces that we try to cram them into.
The small windowsill or empty space on the shelf just isn't enough! We've rounded up our top 5 space-saving houseplant hacks to help you grow your collection without worrying about them getting in your way.
Let's dive right in shall we?
Starting Small
Small houseplants are perfect for those who are just beginning to expand their collection but don't have much space on their windowsills. Opt for plants like succulents, mini cacti, or small ferns.
These tiny green friends can be placed in teacups, small pots, or even terrariums. They bring a touch of nature to your space without taking up much room, making them ideal for desks, kitchen counters, and tiny nooks.
Here at House of Kojo, we have a dedicated collection on our website for plants under 12cm - all of which are at great prices!
Use Macramé to Hang Trailing Plants
Hanging plants are a fantastic way to save space while adding a bohemian vibe to your home. Macramé hangers are both stylish and functional, allowing you to suspend your trailing plants like Pothos, Philodendron, or String of Pearls from the ceiling or wall hooks. This not only frees up surface space but also creates a stunning visual display that can liven up any room.
Best of all, they keep plants that are toxic to cats and dogs out of harms way!
Make full use of Plant Shelves or Plant Stands
Plant shelves or stands are excellent tools for maximising vertical space. By using multi-tiered stands or shelves, you can display several plants at different heights, creating a lush, layered look. This method is perfect for areas like living rooms or bedrooms, where you might have an empty corner or wall space that could be transformed into a mini indoor garden.
Plus, elevating your plants can help them get better light exposure, ensuring they're happy and healthy.
Propagate and Share
Propagation is a great way to manage the size of your plants while also creating new ones to share with friends or add to other areas of your home. Many plants, such as Philodendron, Calathea, Monstera and Hoya, can be easily propagated by taking cuttings and rooting them in water or moss.
This not only helps control the size of your main plant but also provides you with new plants to enjoy without taking up additional space.
Opt for Wall-Mounted Planters
Wall-mounted planters are a smart and stylish solution for small spaces. These planters can be attached directly to the wall, allowing you to grow plants like Biophytum, small Ferns, or trailing plants without taking up any floor or shelf space. They come in various designs, from sleek modern options to rustic wooden styles, so you can find one that matches your decor. Plus, having greenery at eye level adds a refreshing touch to any room.
Space constraints shouldn't deter you from growing your houseplant collection. With these five space-saving hacks, you can maximise your greenery without sacrificing too much room. From starting with small plants to creating vertical gardens, there are plenty of creative ways to incorporate more plants into your living space.
Happy collecting!
