They'll work with any planter that has a rim. Cheap, too!

that hanger makes me want to get a plant, now. it is awesome.

That Plant Orb is indeed fantastic, but I'm generally loath to pay that much for something like a flower pot, especially when there's an option like farmhousemoderne's. I think that's great! Use any flower pot as a hanging one, so you can get pretty much any style you could want at a lot less dough.

openhouse richmond, they're aren't any left.

I wrote about these planters at Chiasso not long ago (http://marthaandtom.com/2009/09/hanging-planters-on-sale/)... but they have since sold out. I mention them because Chiasso (http://www.chiasso.com/) is a great source for this sort of thing. They have a great looking garden hose "bowl" in their sale section at the moment, for example.

Find a deep bowl that you love, drill three holes with a ceramic drill bit, and add some aluminum wire (or the awesome cable hangers farmhousemoderne suggested).

Ikea has modern ceramic hanging pots. I couldn't find them on the website, but I almost bought a few at the store.

You could try the ikea kitchen organizer ASKER
Container http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/70105659
and hang it with a nice string from your ceiling. It's small, but maybe it will look nice with succulents.

as mentioned, get a container that you like and use that. Especially if you are going to buy a plant pot without holes in it ( and I'm amazed at how many Don't have drain holes).

This hanging one is really pretty, but for that price you can get a nice piece of real china.

sorry! we sold out pretty fast!

IKEA's hanging planters are really nice and very affordable but they only have them from around March through July. They are plain half spheres with three holes for the hanging cord of your choice. They come in matte black and a glossy gray-white. Maybe a soft green, too. Keep them in mind for next spring.

I see them at hardwood stores for about 30.00.

sunnysideup- the kitchen organizer ASKER is a great ideA!

These containers look nice, but don't make very good plant containers if you're actually try to keep your plant alive.

Since there is no drainage, the roots will rot in a matter of a few months. Hanging planters are okay when there is drainage, but then they're best suited for outdoors so that the water can drain out onto the ground.
