Columba Jul 2020 10:09pm, 13 Jul 2020 20,004 posts	0 Columba Younger Daughter asked me for recommendations for a plant on a hanging macrame sort of device, in a rather dim corner of a room. I told her ferns were happy with not much light. Anyone got any further suggestions?
Bintmcskint Jul 2020 7:38pm, 14 Jul 2020 45,390 posts	0 Bintmcskint I don't have a great deal of knowledge on this front, Columba, but I do have a few plants that are fairly happy in shade. Ferns for sure - my Boston Ferns are thriving. Aspidistra and Calathea - though they are not hanging basket types I have a Ceropegia woodii (called Lady Felicity Lovebundle) which I adore and which is thriving and would look lovely in a hanging basket If it helps, I buy my plants on a website called Patch Plants. I'm not suggesting your daughter buys from them if she isn't London based but you can filter on their website by things like "loves shade"
