All you need for this hack are some old closet hooks, which are typically used to make small closets more organized. Placed over the top of a door, these are often used to hang things like coats or bathrobes. If you have any spare hooks, this is the perfect opportunity to use them. However, if you don’t have any, you can always purchase some cheap ones from Walmart if you’re on a budget. For the actual hack, all you have to do is hang your closet hooks on the top of your fence and pop your planters or baskets onto them. You can attach your plants using the gaps in the basket or any holes or handles. You could also use zip ties or rope to attach these containers to the hooks as well.
The reason this hack works so well all comes down to the hooks, as they allow your plants to be connected to the fence with minimal fuss. This helps to give the illusion of floating plants, as the foliage will probably cover up most of the hook to the visible eye. Of course, you should always ensure the hooks are strong enough to hold your plants. If your greenery is too heavy, they may snap.
