I am new to this &amp; I want to hang 2 teardrop terrariums outside on a plant hook that is free standing. Would these plants work?

They should be fine as long as they're not in direct sunlight and you bring them in well before first frost.

It can be either. You can hang it from a hook in the ceiling, or you can buy a plant hanger and hang it from that. I used a plant hanger in my tiny art studio, and it works just fine.

I did NOT need to use all of the included pieces of the brackets to hang the planters over my narrow iron balcony railing. I suppose if you were to attached a board or rail of some kind to your house, leaving a bit of space for the bracket to hang onto, it would work great for you the same way it did for me. (The piece I did not use, was the part used for wider wooden deck rails). Hope this helps you. Sorry for delay in answering. I LOVE the planters and have not had any problems with them in heavy downpours and/or wind.

I would not recommend this moss for standing on. In addition it would take quite a few orders to accomplish your goal. Check with your local nursery

Probably not the best option because the surface of this is not flat. I would suggest you get a dolly that has flat legs. For planters these work great.

There is a wall panel for these, and they come with screws for the wall. So you screw in the back panel and hang the front from it. You have to screw them into studs or use appropriate anchors to mount them, as they can be heavy. As for the water, they don't drip at all if they're properly installed! They are great indoors. I notice that if I water them the wrong way (pour water over the plants rather than pour it into the holes in the top), they drip from the front a little. The wall behind the planter, however, is always dry.

They must have an one (1) inch lip, plastic or clay, otherwise they won't hold. Try it with an empty pot first before they crash down and you lose all the soil and flowers. They fit a little lose, but mine never fell down. Good luck.

It is freestanding. Full of soil, I think it would be too heavy to hang...although with proper hardware and a solid wall, anything is possible. I am having spotty luck with my garden now. Everything thrived at first, but now I'm finding certain herbs take to this sort of planter more than others. I also had to move it after it was placed once I saw how much sun was needed...something to consider if you mount it. Good luck!

not very well - you would need to use two stands to hold it still. There is no loop on the long side to hang it with, so you need some sort of small clamp.

Hi Anthony ... first and foremost, remember that I'm a novice at growing air plants ... a glass terrarium should work great, but I'm not certain about the moss, and you obviously want to avoid anything that will keep them "moist" ... I'm presuming this means any type of soil. I submerge mine, per instructions, once a week for two hours, then let them dry another two hours on a paper towel. That seems to work great. They're growing and doing great. :-)

We have no need to screw a planter box to an exterior wall. Ours look beautiful as free-standing units on either side of the front door. When the planter boxes are loaded with potting soil, plants and then watered, they are not easily lifted. We chose not to attach wheels to the boxes. I do not think these units are intended to be screwed to anything! There are window flower boxes that can be attached to house exterior, but of course they would be MUCH smaller than these free-standing units.

Yes, I'd guess that it would work for that purpose. The weakest point is probably where the hook attaches to the pole... so make sure you get a strong pole. Once the hook is securely threaded on your pole you'll be ready to do battle with those vines!

I never use the stands. I purchased ornate planter hooks and put them on my deck and hung them from there. I have 3 on each side of the lattice privacy walls on the side of my deck. It looks so pretty at night.

I have not mounted mine at this time. I put some rocks in the bottom of the planter and then plated some flowers. We have had winds sustained at about 35 mph with gusts up to 50 and they have not even swayed.

No, they cannot be put outside. They would die almost immediately. They are very small humidity-loving house plants. I made terrariums with them planting them in clear glass containers that I got at the thrift store. I added decorations and they look very nice. There are many excellent articles on the Internet on how to plant and take care of terrariums, and I referenced several of them. Also, you might put them in a dish garden. Again, there are many helpful articles on the Internet on how to plant and maintain dish gardens. I do think, however, that a terrarium setting would be best for these humidity-loving plants.

I don't use them for hanging plants, but my wife has. She has had them break with heavy plants. We don't have a specific weight.

Yes you can use them outside for holding plants. They are powder coated very good so even if exposed to rain it will hold up.
