How to Hang Artificial Plants From the Ceiling?

If you think your holiday decor can use some artificial hanging bushes, here are a few things to consider:

  • Inspect the Space: Take a close look at your ceiling or another area you wish to adorn. Assess the material - is it concrete, drywall, or plaster? This will guide your choice of hooks (if needed) and help you make the right decision for structural integrity. For example, concrete does well with metal hooks, but if it’s drywall, you’ll have to be a bit more careful.
  • Choose Your Spot: Arguably the most important decision you’ll have to make is choosing the place to hang your artificial bushes. During Christmas, every space shines. But even when the season passes, your faux hanging garland will still be there. So pick a nice spot like above a reading nook, by a window, or close to the door to help the plant put its best leaf forward.
  • Install the Hooks: Once you’ve chosen the spot, it’s time to install the hooks or hangers. To do so, weigh your plants, especially if you’re bunching them together in baskets. For lighter ones, simple ceiling hooks might suffice, but for heavier ones, use heavy-duty hooks or anchors for proper support. Measure carefully to see that your plant hangs at the desired height and level.
  • Ensure Its Stability: Don’t leave before you’ve ensured the stability and integrity of the hooks. After all, you don’t want your plant falling and making a mess in your room. Once you install the hooks, tug on them lightly to confirm that the attachment is secure and that your hanging garland won’t tilt or sway. Regularly inspect these these, even after the holiday passes.
  • Conclusion

    It’s time to light up your home with seasonal joy.

    As you finesse the placements, remember that it’s not just about the plants. During Christmas, the important thing is the feeling these decorations will bring to you and the people you love most.
