Abstract
A hanging plant apparatus has a conical mesh sleeve with a rigid ring in the upper margin. Suspending elements are attached to the ring and extend upward for hanging the apparatus. The lower margin has a drawstring element in the hem. The lower margin of the sleeve is slipped over the upper rim of a conventional rigid plant pot and the drawstring element pulled tight to attach the pot to the bottom of the sleeve. The drawstring element is comprised of one or more plastic cable ties. When the sleeve and pot are filled with plant growth media, holes are cut into the mesh through which various plants can be inserted to-provide a unique hanging plant container with multiple plants growing out of the cone at various levels.
