what if you do not have a sturdy curtain rod???

You could go to HD and get them plant hangers in different lengths that jet out from the walls or window frames you can hang them on..They are awsome to use..

They come in black and white colors..

Or you could screw hooks into the ceiling. Either way, make sure you are drilling into a stud, or using appropriate toggle bolts. Plants can get heavy and you don't want them tearing out hooks. You can buy a cheap magnetic stud finder to locate studs/rafters.

I've been putting up hooks. They have a 2 pack of really big, sturdy hooks at Walmart for $1.69 here. My husband wants to get those curtain rod extender things that make the curtain rods stick out from the wall a good bit and hang them on that, because I have so many.

I was thinking that even if your curtains hang on a small rod, you could put a big sturdy one on the outside of that one for the plants.

I've seen 1/2 circle ones that hang on the wall. They look good. I don't really are for the look of hanging plants, it reminds me of the 70's when everyone was stringing their long vining plants on hooks along the wall (mostly pothos). . . eew. . . icky visual. . .

You must hang the hooks from the joists.

Or the hooks must screw into the studs in this pic.

OH?

Some people install pipes with elbow joints directly from the ceiling near a window, to use instead of the curtain rod. There are hooks that are molly screws, for weight, a fern can get heavy in time. The most important thing is security. You don't want to hurt a plant or what is under it if it falls.

Yes, but it should be screwed into a ceiling joist or a wall stud depending on where you hang the pipe or rod. plants get heavy when watered...I wouldn't trust a molly screw. But that's just me. and my carpenter Mr.

Hang a rod from the ceiling. Sink the screws into wood. Its not particularly hard, but if you've never done something like that, ask for help. Lee Valley has a lot of choices.
