Vining and Trailing Plants for Hanging Baskets and Climbing

Vining and trailing plants grow long stems that climb, cascade from shelves, or hang from baskets. They're ideal for adding vertical interest indoors and for covering trellises or fences outdoors.

Climbers and trailers evolved to reach light through or over surrounding vegetation. Indoors they work equally well cascading from macramé hangers, training up a moss pole, or spilling over a bookshelf. The species below all have a vining, climbing, or trailing growth habit in PlantoScan's data.

Every species below links to its full plant care guide on PlantoScan, covering watering, light, soil, propagation, and toxicity.
