Plant Hanger Works On All Pots
The INVISA-HANGER™️ was born out of frustration with existing plant hangers, which are too short, unsightly and break.
“My wife buys expensive flower baskets every spring and often they break or slip off the hook in heavy winds, causing the pot to crack, effectively ending the life of the plant,” says Rick Clark, founder of the INVISA-HANGER.
We met up with Clark at the National Hardware Show this year and were impressed with his design.
“I grew up on a farm, and my grandfather was an inventor as well as a skilled, self-taught machinist. I grew up in his shop, where he designed and built a variety of innovative machines,” says Clark.
“At the time, I was experimenting with new ways to suspend the bird houses that I was making, using vinyl-coated clothesline and crimping ferrules. I created an innovative way to suspend birdhouses from branches that didn’t require screws or nails, making it easy to remove them annually for cleaning.”
Enhancements included adding surgical-grade silicone “gripper tubes” to help hold the orientation of suspension wires on hard or slippery surfaces like ceramic or clay pots. The “slide collar” reduces the pot’s tendency to spin in strong winds. As the pot winds up in the wind, the slide collar drops by gravity, making it less likely to unwind.
An added benefit of the slide collar is its ability to contain wires by sliding down toward the pot. This is especially helpful when hanging tall plants like orchids.
The design is flexible enough to hold pots and containers with or without rims or lips. Ceramic pots, colorful Mexican pots, clay pots, and even delicate potted orchids can be displayed in a suspended setting.
Constructed from stainless-steel aircraft cable, the hangers become almost invisible if you stand back to look at the plant.
The INVISA-HANGER costs $14.99 and is available at Menards, Amazon and other retailers.
