DIY Shower Plant Hanger

We’re officially obsessed with indoor gardening and plants in general. We needed plants in every single room, so we built a jungle in the bathroom. It took us less than an hour to build and was easy to hang from the ceiling. Make your own ‘raining’ plant hanger using our guide below!

MATERIALS

(1) 1x1x8 board
Chicken wire cut to 1’x2′
(1) Roll fiberglass screen
Staple gun and staples
Wire cutters
Needle nose plyers
Wood Screws
Drill
Plants
Small gauge chains
Metal hooks
Soil

DIRECTIONS

Go to your local hardware store and pick up your supplies. If you don’t have a saw, ask the wood department to cut your board into 2 pieces: (2) 2′ sections and (2) 1′ sections

Layout your boards in the shape of a rectangle and pre-drill the holes so you wood won’t split when you screw them together. Screw all 4 boards together.

Cut your chicken wire with the wire cutters to fit the rectangle and then staple around the edges so it’s tightly secured. Cut off the excess chicken wire around the edges.

Fold over your fiber glass mesh 4x so it’s thick. This will keep your soil from falling out. Staple it around the edges, right over top of the chicken wire layer, so it’s tightly secured.

Add your hooks to the corners of your planter. Our hooks had clamps, which made it easier to hang. Then screw your 4 regular ceiling hooks into the ceiling, after you have measured the right distance.

Take your plants and separate them by gently breaking apart the soil and diving them by the root.

Measure out where you want each plant to go on the black mesh (this is where you will make holes for the plants). We made holes 2 inches apart using a ruler. You can use a knife to make each hole.
