Start Your Plant Mom Era with These 10 Hanging Beauties

9. Hanging Aloe (Aloe vera)

Let me tell you about the plant that doubles as home decor and a natural first-aid kit—the Hanging Aloe (Aloe vera).

I used to think of Aloe as just that squishy gel in a bottle for sunburns, but when I found a hanging variety at my local nursery, I had to try it. And honestly? It’s been a total game-changer.

Beauty Meets Functionality 💆‍♀️🌿

What I love most is how sculptural and stylish this plant looks. It’s got those thick, fleshy leaves that fan out like little green spears—so modern, so chic, so designer-approved. I hung mine by a sunny window in my kitchen, and now it feels like I’ve got a tiny living sculpture adding texture and life to the space.

But here’s the best part: it’s not just pretty to look at. That gooey gel inside the leaves? Total skin savior. I’ve used it for everything from soothing bug bites to calming irritated skin after a long day in the sun. If you’re into natural beauty remedies or love having a little plant-powered pharmacy on hand, this one’s for you.

Sun Worshiper Alert ☀️💧

Now, fair warning: Hanging Aloe needs light. Like, a lot of it. Unlike some of the low-light lovers we’ve covered, this one craves plenty of sunlight to really thrive.

Here’s what I’ve learned:

• Needs bright, direct sun – south or west-facing windows are ideal
• Prefers well-draining soil – don’t let it sit in water or it’ll rot
• Water only when the soil is completely dry—seriously

Mine started stretching toward the window like it was trying to crawl outside, so I finally moved it to the sunniest spot in the house. Now it’s happy, healthy, and ready to help me with whatever skin drama comes next.

The Ultimate Plant for Wellness Lovers 🌿✨

If you’re into holistic health, love natural skincare, or want something that’s both stylish and practical, the Hanging Aloe deserves a spot in your space.

It’s perfect for plant newbies who want more than just decoration—it’s like having a little wellness buddy watching over you. Plus, it looks amazing in minimalist pots or woven hangers, making it a favorite among interior-savvy plant moms.
