Golden Crochet Plant Hanger for Small Container Gardens
If you live in a small space, rent your home, or garden in containers as I do, you learn very quickly that every choice has to be intentional. Space matters. Light matters. And how we support our plants matters more than we often realize.
This golden crochet plant hanger came out of a simple, practical moment in my garden. A green mint cutting that had been rooting in water was ready to move into the soil. It didn’t need a large pot or a permanent setup, just a little more room to grow, steady support, and a place where it could continue receiving light without being crowded.
That moment became the starting point for this piece.

Why a golden crochet plant hanger?
When people think about plant hangers, they often imagine them as decorative extras. Something pretty, but optional. For me, plant hangers are tools. They help me garden where I am, with what I have.
A golden crochet plant hanger offers a few things at once:
- Vertical growing space for small container gardens
- Gentle support for herbs and young plants
- Flexibility for renters who can’t build or dig
- Warmth and beauty in spaces that might otherwise feel temporary
The gold color was a conscious choice. It adds warmth without overpowering the plant. It complements green beautifully and works just as well indoors as it does on a balcony, verandah, or small outdoor wall.
Made for small spaces and real life
This particular hanger is a small size, designed with herbs and young plants in mind. My green mint didn’t need something heavy or oversized. It needed room to breathe, space to trail naturally, and enough support to grow at its own pace.
Crochet works especially well for this because it’s flexible without being weak. The yarn holds the pot securely while allowing airflow around the soil and plant. For container gardeners, that balance matters. Too tight, and plants feel constrained. Too loose, and they lack stability.
This golden crochet plant hanger sits comfortably in that middle space.
Container gardening for wellness and food security
My website is rooted in gardening and wellness because those two things are deeply connected in my life. I grow herbs not just because they are beautiful, but because they support my health: physically, emotionally, and mentally.
Mint, for example, is one of those plants I reach for often. Tea, steam, simple kitchen remedies; it shows up again and again in my wellness practices. Being able to grow it in a small container, suspended safely and within reach, makes that relationship easier and more sustainable.
For people living in apartments, rented homes, or shared spaces, container gardening is not a compromise. It’s a strategy. A crochet plant hanger becomes part of that strategy, helping you grow food and medicine where you are, not where you wish you were.
Functional beauty, not decoration for decoration’s sake
I don’t make things just to fill space. Every crochet plant hanger I create is made with use in mind.
This one:
- Supports lightweight pots
- Keeps herbs accessible for daily use
- Works in indoor and outdoor settings
- Can be adjusted for different hanging heights
It’s beautiful, yes, but its beauty comes from its usefulness. From the way it holds a plant gently but securely. From the way it allows a small garden to expand upward instead of outward.
That’s especially important for people furnishing Airbnbs, cafés, spas, or wellness spaces. Plants soften a space. They make it feel alive. And when those plants are hung thoughtfully, they don’t interfere with movement or function.
A quiet solution for renters and small homes
One of the reasons I continue making crochet plant hangers is because of how renter-friendly they are. You don’t need to dig into the ground. You do not need permanent installations. You can garden without altering the space in ways that are not allowed.
Hooks, removable fixtures, and balcony rails – these are often enough. A crochet plant hanger can move with you. From one home to the next. From one season to another. That portability matters when your living situation is not fixed.
From weekly plant study to finished piece
This gold hanger is also part of my ongoing weekly plant study practice. I pay attention to how plants move through stages: from cutting, to root, to soil, to growth. Making a hanger for a specific plant forces me to slow down and observe what it actually needs, not what I want it to look like.
My green mint didn’t need a statement piece. It needed support without pressure. That guided every stitch.
Crochet as part of a holistic garden system
I don’t separate my crochet work from my gardening or wellness practices. They inform each other.
Crochet allows me to:
- Create custom solutions for small gardens
- Respond directly to a plant’s needs
- Design for real environments, not ideal ones
- Combine craft with food and wellness systems
This golden crochet plant hanger is one small part of a larger picture; growing what you can, where you are, in ways that support your health and your lifestyle.
Who this is for
This beautiful piece and other plant hangers I make are for:

A final thought
Gardening doesn’t have to be big to be meaningful. Sometimes it’s a single plant, a small pot, and a golden crochet plant hanger holding it steady as it grows.
As this is my first post of 2026, I want to wish you a happy new year and send best wishes for gentle growth in the months ahead – in your garden, your wellness, and wherever you are starting again in small, intentional ways.
