Indoor and outdoor hanging plants help please?

I would like to hang up some plant pots outside under my porch and also inside the house in a few places as we have some nice spots to fill.

I'm looking at those macrame type rope hangers you put plant pots on and I'm looking for ivy like plants/ greenery that will hang down over the planters as it grows.

What should I be looking for indoor and outdoor? Any advice greatly appreciated.

The classic (if not cliched) choice for indoors is the spider plant.

There are loads of choices for outdoors. Are you looking for things which may last through the winter or more summer colour type of plants?

Spider plants can go out in the summer when the frost is over.

@ErrolTheDragon I'm looking for vine like ones (I think) preferably no flowers.

Would be fab if outdoor ones lasted the winter well.

For outdoors this is lovely, it contains Ajuga Burgundy Glow (purple), Euonymus Gold (lime green), Euonymus Green, Hedera Gold (green with yellow borders), Lamium Golden Anniversary (purple and green) and Lysimachia Goldilocks (bright green)

Those outdoor ones are all hardy, I probably wouldn't put all of them in one basket, but when I found it on the J.Parker's website I thought it was gorgeous.

String of hearts (very fast growing mine is over 6 feet long)
Golden pothos
Satin Pothos
Hoya
Wandering dew
English Ivy

All of which are pretty easy to grow

Other indoor ones include stag plant (more upright but will hang down) string of pearls, tradescantia zebrina (green and purple leaves). I know you said no flowers but orchids are great in hanging pots as well.

Spider plants can go out in the summer when the frost is over.

Oh good ... I've got a silly number of offspring spider plants, and was wondering whether I could put them in my tubs if I can't get the usual stuff from the nursery!Grin

I have a spider plant that survived outside all winter this year. I am in London with a very sheltered garden, but I was still pretty surprised...

Burro's tail, sedum morganianum - fat pale blue-grey trailing shoots, with cluster of reddish flowers at the end if you're lucky. It's a succulent, so vary happy on minimal watering. Not frost hardy, so a May to October thing, and needs drying off from Sept so when you take it back in in the winter the soil is bone dry.

I used to hang one outside my father's front door - it floursihed on just summer rainfall, no watering at all.
