Here’s How to Plant Upside Down, the New Way to Grow Plants
Planting our plants upside down? It’s an intriguing and unusual idea, but it’s a trend that’s starting to gain momentum. Upside-down pots don’t take up space on the floor or windowsill. Plus, when hung from the ceiling, they add a unique and charming touch to the room. With just one vase, you can transform your entire home!
Rest assured, caring for plants in upside-down pots is no different from caring for plants in standard pots.
A big plus? Once the pots are turned over, the fertilizer can be mixed with water and the plants can be watered via the sprinkler irrigation system. In other words, the water in these pots doesn’t evaporate as quickly as in conventional pots, so the fertilizer it contains remains available to the plant for longer.

Plant a Pothos upside down
A fabulous houseplant that can grow up to 1 meter long, the Pothos, also known as “devil’s ivy,” always makes a strong impression in the home with its heart-shaped leaves and vibrant green color. It needs plenty of light, but not direct sunlight. To quickly turn your Pothos into a climbing plant, simply follow the steps below.
First step
The first thing to do is take a plastic vase and thread a string, possibly nylon, through each hole you find at the bottom. This way, you can hang it wherever you want. After tying the strings, try to create a fairly large hole in the center of the base of the vase. Then, just below the rim of the pot, try to drill holes around the entire circumference.
Second step
Next, add soil to the pot. When you fill the pot more than halfway, carefully place the plant’s roots. Then cover the roots by adding soil to completely envelop them.

Third step
Add a patch made from a burlap sack to the soil and insert wooden sticks into the holes you previously drilled along the edge of the pot. With the nylon threads, you can now hang the plant in a favorable and suitable environment so it can flower and grow peacefully.
Water the plants
How to water your climbing plant?
Watering is probably the easiest part. This task is quick and easy. To water your plant, simply insert the neck of a bottle into the hole you created in the center of the base of your plastic pot. This will act as a funnel from which you can easily water your Pothos.
