Ceilings are ideal for indoor plants, which brighten a space. To support large pots and plants, screw a hook into a ceiling joist or a toggle screw into drywall. Better yet, screw a J-hook into or suspend an S-hook from ceiling beams.

However, if you are unable to drill into ceiling joists or drywall and you do not have beams, the following is a guide that will show you how to hang plants from the ceiling.

These hooks function because of rare-earth, or neodymium, magnets with 100-pound capacity. The magnet must be mounted directly to a clean metal surface to reach full weight capacity.
3
Ceiling metal attachment points can be difficult to find. Look closely for metal plates, bolts, fasteners, and braces.
4
Another attachment method is painted drywall screws. Find screws by sliding the magnet across the ceiling. Small screw heads reduce weight capacity, so be careful.
5
Metal tension rods that go from wall to wall make it look like the plants are hanging from the roof, but they're not.
6
A tension rod with non-marring rubber tips can be mounted at the ceiling where two walls are close. Shower tension rods span wall gaps, skylight frames, and hallway ends.
7
41-72-inch shower tension rods are standard. Product weight capacities vary from 10 to 30 pounds. Extra-long room divider curtain tension rods are 120 or 160 inches. Ten to thirteen feet—enough to span a modest room.
