Make your own plant pot hanger with just one cord | Gardening hacks | Gardening Australia

Millie demonstrates an easy way of making a pot hanger using nothing more than a loop of cord!

Materials needed

Sash cord, cotton rope or synthetic rope (synthetic rope is less likely to rot but may be affected by UV). Adjust the length according to pot size and how long you want the hanging handles. For this 15cm diameter pot, Millie used approx. 180cm of rope.
