10 Hanging Plants That Heal Boring Blank Walls

5. String of Pearls (Senecio rowleyanus)

A string of pearls succulent with long, cascading tendrils in a white hanging pot against a white brick wall, an elegant example of wall hanging plants, with sunlight filtering in from the left and other greenery blurred in the background.

Okay, let’s talk about the weirdest plant I’ve ever fallen in love with.

I first saw a String of Pearls at a friend’s place in LA. It was hanging above a floating shelf, catching the afternoon light just right, and honestly? It looked like jewelry for the wall. Those bead-like leaves dangle so perfectly, it’s like nature decided to make a living chandelier.

At first, I thought, “No way am I keeping that alive.” It looked delicate, high-maintenance, maybe even a little fake. But surprise—I was wrong.

A Plant That Survived My Forgetfulness

Let me be real: I’m not the most consistent plant parent. Some weeks I water everything religiously. Other weeks I forget my plants exist until I hear them crying out in my sleep.

Enter: the String of Pearls.

This little guy thrives on neglect. Seriously. All it needs is bright, indirect light and a tiny bit of water every few weeks. No soggy soil, no daily misting—just a sip here and there and some good vibes.

Mine lives near a west-facing window in my living room and gets watered when I remember (which is about once a month). And still? It keeps growing those long, flowing vines like it’s strutting down a catwalk.

Perfect for Stylish Minimalists (and Boho Lovers Too)

If you’re into modern, minimalist interiors, this plant is your new bestie. It doesn’t scream for attention—it whispers elegance. The smooth curves of the beads catch the light beautifully, and when hung just right, it becomes an instant statement piece.

But here’s the cool part: it also fits right in with boho-chic lovers who layer textures and natural elements. Whether you hang it solo above a shelf or pair it with macramé hangers and rattan baskets, it adds visual interest without clutter.

I have mine above my entryway console table next to a framed quote print—and every time someone walks in, they ask where I got it. It’s that good.

A Unique Touch for Any Wall

Forget generic wall art—this plant is the art.

It looks amazing in hanging pots, especially ones that let the vines trail freely. I’ve even seen people train it around picture frames or along floating shelves for a more dramatic effect.

Honestly, if you want something that feels totally different from the usual greens, this one’s a must-have.
