You may like refreshing tender coconut on a hot summer day. I am sure your plants will also like the same. Consider using coconut husk or tender coconut shells as hanging pots for your cute looking green plants.

Considered as waste and useless material in modern life, coconut husk and tender coconut shells can be good candidates for your hanging pots. The coir fiber in the husk of coconut holds moisture for longer lengths of time and keeps the plant healthy. The husk is also a good organic base material to support plant growth.
