What kind of Hanging plants can I put out on my porch that has limited sunlight exposure?

I am looking for 2 hanging plants to put out on my balcony at my apartment. I want ones that have easy upkeep and are pretty. I heard that impatients might be the way to go. Will that attrect many bees?


Also- I will be needing some indoor plants as well, I hear that ferns are hard to manage... I want something that will be pretty and full, and easy to manage as well. And I also have a small puppy that may eat some of the leaves if she sneaks off and gets a chance if they fall off of the plant from the shelf, so please suggest something that is not toxic to pups!

ferns, philodendrons, and many other foliage plants, grow well with indirect light.


Among the easier plants to grow and flower are Phalaenopsis orchids. If you’ve ever wanted to try growing orchids, these will prove how easy they are to grow. The gorgeous sprays of blooms created by these plants can last several months. You can grow Phalaenopsis easily in a bright, but indirectly lit area or under lights.








Orchids are generally grown in a fir bark mix. This allows for better drainage and air circulation around the root system, but enables us to easily maintain them in our homes. Most are fall/winter bloomers and will color a home with large flowers of white, lavender, pink, or yellow. Many are available with stripes or spots, adding novel interest to enduring color.





If your space is limited, try growing tillandsias and small bromeliads. While some bromeliads are best grown in light potting soil, many tillandsia require no pot at all and are easily grown mounted to interesting driftwood, magnets, glued to wreaths or resting in a shallow pot or terrarium. They can be as small as two inches tall and the spikes of flowers produced are interesting and colorful. These amazing little plants require bright light, regular misting and a thorough soaking weekly. Those grown in pots will need bright light and moderate moisture, no misting required. The foliage on these plants is full of texture and can vary incredibly from one variety to the next. Some bromeliads can remain in color for six months or more.


Prefer more traditional blooms? African violets are wonderfully easy to grow and require little space. Most are frequent bloomers, needing only a brief rest before color appears again. Provide them with bright indirect light, moderate moisture and these will be rewarding to grow.
Reply:peace lilies are pretty much shade lovers %26amp; easy to grow. They bloom with white flowers when happy.
Reply:I love fushias. they have the pretties flowers
Reply:Fuschia and Ferns both do well in limited sun light out doors, check sites on house plants that are poisionus to pets for your house plants.
Reply:New Guinnea Impatiens, begonia, Lobelia, Osteospermum, scented geranium, spider plant, fucia. I have had no problem with ferns - don't let them dry out. Many different lovely types: Boston, maiden hair, rabbit foot...non toxic for pup. Cyperus altifolia (never could spell that) aka "umbrella plant" will give height, easy to grow, just keep it in a congtainer of water always. There are scads of safe indoor things. DON'T get deifenbacia (dumb cane) it isn't safe for puplette. WalMart usually has a decent selection of inexpensive things.
Reply:A nice hanging plant would be something like a Spider Plant. It will grow well with limited light and looks great. Easy to care for and will last for ever
Reply:petunias. they are pretty and they hang over and cascade down the pot. many varieties-they have miniature ones that are pretty. just pick the spent heads off and they will bloom all summer.
Reply:Baskets-


Calibrachoa (Million Bells)- It prefers full sun and regular watering. Comes in many colors. Great for baskets.





Portulaca (moss rose)- Does best in hot locations and climates and full sun. They look great in hanging baskets. Doesn't mind drying out between waterings.





Coleus-Brilliantly colored foliage, grows in part to full shade.





Alyssum-Light shade, comes in several colors, great for baskets.
