Cozy Balcony Vibes: 10 Hanging Plants to Try Now

10. Jade Necklace Plant (Trailing Jade)

Alright, let’s wrap things up with a plant that looks like it belongs in a modern art exhibit—Jade Necklace Plant, also known as Trailing Jade. If you’re into succulents and love that clean, minimalist look, this one’s going to be your new balcony BFF.

It gets its name from those adorable bead-like leaves that dangle down like nature’s own chandelier. I hung mine on my Los Angeles balcony and honestly? It gave serious style points without asking for much in return.

Trails Beautifully Without Needing Much Care

Let me be real with you—I forget to water plants all the time. Like, sometimes for weeks. And yet somehow, my Jade Necklace Plant is still thriving.

That’s because it’s super low maintenance and totally drought-tolerant. Unlike some of our previous floral friends that need regular watering, this guy just shrugs and keeps growing. Perfect for busy folks or anyone who wants greenery without the guilt of forgetting to water it.

Just give it well-draining soil, maybe a little fertilizer once in a while, and it’ll do its thing like a champ.

Loves Sun But Plays Nice in Containers

Now, if you’ve got a sunny balcony, this is your plant. Trailing Jade loves soaking up the rays—it actually needs plenty of sun to keep its color and shape looking sharp.

I have mine hanging where it gets at least six hours of direct sunlight a day, and it’s responded by trailing down beautifully with those plump, glossy leaves. The more sun it gets, the richer those colors become—deep green with hints of red along the edges when it’s really happy.

And even though it’s a succulent, it adapts really well to container life. Whether you’re using a hanging planter, a ceramic pot, or even mixing it with other drought-tolerant plants, it blends right in without throwing a fit.

Sleek Style for Modern Balconies

Okay, here’s the final selling point—if you’re into modern, minimalist design, this plant is a no-brainer.

Its trailing form and clean lines bring a sense of calm to any space. I paired mine with white railings, black metal pots, and a few neutral textiles—and suddenly my balcony felt like a West Elm catalog spread.

It’s especially great for contemporary balconies that lean into sleek furniture, geometric shapes, or monochrome palettes. No flowers needed—just pure, elegant greenery that makes a statement without saying a word.

You’ve got lush vines, blooming baskets, playful textures, and now this chic, self-sufficient stunner.
