8 shade-tolerant cascading flowers that cover the wall so well you can skip the curtains

Golden Pothos cascade

Golden pothos (Epipremnum aureum) is fairly shade-tolerant, and its wall-climbing skills are no joke. Put it in bright indirect light and with good care, a whole living room won't be enough room for it to climb!

Grow golden pothos this way and it grows 1 m in half a month!

1. Golden pothos likes a humid environment. Spray the leaves once in the morning and once in the evening each day; you can add a little aspirin solution to the water. Once it has drunk its fill, it will grow like crazy and climb all over the wall in a few months.

2. If you want golden pothos to shoot up fast, fertilizer is a must. You can't fertilize heavily in summer, but gardening friends can bury a few granules of compound fertilizer or slow-release fertilizer in the pot, and it will surely grow like mad and won't stop!

Asparagus fern cascade

Asparagus fern (Asparagus setaceus) is the plant that dislikes strong sun the most. The less direct light it gets, the more vigorously it grows!

Grow asparagus fern this way and it shoots up nonstop!

1. Dry air causes asparagus fern leaves to turn yellow and leaf tips to dry up, so when there's a stretch of hot weather and the air is dry, spray it with water more often, or just place a basin of clean water next to it.

2. If you want asparagus fern to shoot up, it must have good ventilation. Without enough airflow, it easily suffers root rot, which makes the leaves turn yellow and wither.

Wax plant cascade

The wax plant (Hoya) is incredibly strong at climbing walls. Even without direct light, just string up a rope and build a simple frame, and it will climb right along!

Grow the wax plant this way and big flower balls hang all over the wall!

1. The wax plant likes loose, fertile, slightly acidic soil. Gardening friends can mix peat soil, coarse sand and vermiculite into a potting mix, then add some bone meal as a base fertilizer.

2. The wax plant has fleshy roots, so don't water too often. In summer, watering once a week is enough, and you can add a few drops of white vinegar to the water. When the air is very dry, spray the plant with a bit more water.

Ivy cascade

Ivy (Hedera helix) is an especially popular foliage plant. Placed indoors without direct sunlight, lush green ivy can still grow happily and casually turn into a "big curtain" for you!

Grow ivy this way and it grows into a big cascade in 3 months!

1. Ivy really loves having its leaves sprayed. Regular spraying not only keeps its leaves bright at all times, but also gives it a bit of coolness in the hot, dry summer, so it grows more vigorously.

2. Older ivy needs regular pruning. Cut off dead branches, weak branches and aged stems so it has the energy to keep shooting up fast.

Madeira vine cascade

Madeira vine (Anredera cordifolia) is a climbing vegetable, and every part of it is useful. Most importantly, even in a dark room with no light, it can still grow like crazy!

Grow Madeira vine this way and it grows even without sun!

1. Madeira vine has a very high demand for water, especially in the hot summer. To keep the soil moist, it's best to water once a day.

2. Madeira vine grows at an astonishing rate. After it reaches a certain height, it's best to give it a trellis or guide it with string, otherwise it will easily spread across the whole floor.

Inch plant cascade

The inch plant (Tradescantia zebrina) fears scorching sun the most; it actually grows better in a shady, damp environment. Put a pot of inch plant on top of the fridge and it's like wearing a gorgeous purple floral garment.

Grow the inch plant this way and it grows into a purple curtain!

1. The inch plant has very high humidity requirements. Once the air is dry and humidity is too low, its leaf tips dry up, so be sure to spray water around it often to keep it moist.

2. Fertilizing the inch plant in summer easily burns its roots, but you can spray some monopotassium phosphate on the leaves, which makes the leaves glossier and thicker.

String of pearls cascade

String of pearls (Senecio rowleyanus) loves bright indirect light the most. Hang a pot by the window and in a few months it will grow into an emerald string-of-pearls curtain!

Grow string of pearls this way and the little beads keep popping out nonstop!

1. If you want the little beads of string of pearls to stay green and plump at all times, spray water more often. When spraying, you can add 1 granule of compound fertilizer to the water, dilute it, shake it evenly, then spray.

2. String of pearls has very shallow roots, so you must control the amount of water. Watering about once every 1-2 weeks is enough, or gardening friends can weigh the pot before watering and only water when it feels especially light, otherwise it easily suffers root rot.

Lipstick plant cascade

The lipstick plant (Aeschynanthus) likes a semi-shady environment with plenty of indirect light. Hang a pot in the living room or by a windowsill and in summer it will produce clusters of "lipstick" flowers.

Grow the lipstick plant this way and it bursts into bloom like crazy!

1. The lipstick plant likes slightly acidic soil. Gardening friends in the north can add a little ferrous sulfate to the water when watering to improve the soil, and then the lipstick plant will grow like crazy.

2. The lipstick plant likes a somewhat moist soil environment, but it also easily suffers root rot, so be sure to pay attention to ventilation in summer.
