Features & Benefits
Self-Watering Reservoir System
Your plants get consistent water without constant attention. The built-in reservoir means you can go on vacation or handle a busy week without worrying about dried-out plants. It’s especially helpful if you tend to forget watering schedules or struggle to find the right balance.
Drainage Holes for Healthy Roots
Overwatering is the #1 reason houseplants struggle. These pots are designed with drainage holes that let water flow into the reservoir instead of pooling around roots. Healthier roots mean stronger, longer-living plants in your home.
Three Different Sizes for Flexible Decorating
The 34″, 26″, and 20″ macramé hangers let you create interesting heights and layers when hanging plants. You can mix small trailing plants with larger specimens, giving you creative control over how your plant display looks.
Hand-Braided Macramé That Actually Looks Nice
Boho décor doesn’t have to feel trendy or fake. The 100% cotton macramé hangers are hand-braided and add genuine warmth to any room. They work in living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, and even outdoor patios without looking out of place.
Lightweight and Durable Materials
The polypropylene pots are built to last without being heavy. They won’t crack in sunlight, won’t rot if exposed to moisture, and won’t weigh down your walls or ceiling hooks. One set handles both indoor and outdoor use.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often do I need to fill the water reservoir?
It depends on your climate, light conditions, and plant type, but most people refill every 1-2 weeks. Plants in bright light or warm rooms use water faster than those in shadier spots. You’ll quickly learn the rhythm for your specific setup.
Can I use these hanging planters outdoors?
Yes! The polypropylene material is weather-resistant and won’t rot or crack in outdoor conditions. They work great on covered patios, balconies, or under eaves. For areas with direct heavy rain, the self-watering system might overflow, so positioning matters.
What’s the weight capacity for hanging these planters?
Each macramé hanger is designed for lightweight to medium plants with soil. A good rule: if the pot feels heavy when you lift it, make sure your ceiling hook can handle that weight. Standard drywall anchors work for most setups, but use heavy-duty anchors for larger plants.
Do the pots come with plants included?
No, you’ll need to add your own plants and soil. This actually gives you full control over what you grow – perfect if you have specific plant preferences or know what works best in your space.
How do I know what size hanger to use for my plant?
Think about the visual balance you want. Trailing plants look good on longer hangers (the 34″ or 26″) because they drape nicely. Smaller or upright plants work well on the shorter 20″ hanger. There’s really no wrong choice – it’s about what looks right to you.
Are the macramé hangers washable or easy to maintain?
The 100% cotton macramé can be gently wiped down with a soft, damp cloth if dust builds up. They’re pretty low-maintenance, especially compared to keeping them looking pristine. A little patina actually looks more authentic to the boho style.
Can I use these planters with regular pots, or do I have to use the included pots?
The macramé hangers are adjustable and can work with other pots if you prefer, but the included self-watering pots are where you get the real benefit. They’re specifically designed to work together as a system.
