skypots.com/ My friend Ryan Benoit of The Horticult just launched SkyPots, a way to turn any normal pot w/ a drainage hole into hanging pots that you can chain together.
You could definitely DIY something like this, but some of the design choices Ryan made I really prefer over a DIY - the sealed flanges prevent leaking while also allowing diffused drainage to the pots below. It's also REALLY sturdy and keeps the pots from moving around or jiggling.
Ryan has been an engineer for 20 years, but is in love and obsessed with plants just like I am. This is his first project and it's been really fun to see him put so much effort and time into it, and I really want to see this succeed for him. I figured I'd bring it to you guys to see what you thought!

Wish these were available in India...they look really neat!

I'm in! Such a game changer for not only indoor displays but for fuller utilization of vertical space in the greenhouse as well!
Good point Steven!
as someone who really doesn't like those macrame hangers, this is a much more appealing look to me. well done!!
I agree! I like macrame, but every now and then I want a style change
True!!
Meh ... I mean you can make macrame yourself, it’s free, make as many as you want, custom made to your needs (length and number of vertical pots in a row), achieves the same thing but because it’s custom it probably better - so I’ll stick with macrame and would recommend it above this system
I enjoy both..this is just really as appealing too though. And could double as a stake! I love it
Yeah, macrame is cute..but it’s just not the style I’m going for.
I’m trying to grow salad greens on my covered patio. I could hang this directly beneath my skylight. It would solve my rabbit problem, too.
Boom!
Excellent
Great idea
Way back when I was in my 20s, I did something like this to hook two flower pots together. When you have a dad whose hobbies are woodworking and mechanics, you get to learn a lot about hardware.
That'd awesome!
I like the science & the idea.
Now I know what to use for hanging storage & tiered recycle plastic bottles & long gardening pot.
Thanks for sharing.
Awesome trick for hanging planters👌
I love this idea. I ordered, thank you Ryan. New subscriber and I shared this on Facebook.
You should make a hook that’s flat on the bottom to glue on to a terracotta saucer so you can cap off the bottom with nothing visible under it so it looks clean hanging and you still get a saucer on the bottom. 😊
wow these are really nice. great way to hang plants by window and no macrame!!! Thanks for the info!!
This is the smartest thing I have ever seen!!!
This is freaking brilliant. Placing my order soon!
Love this!! I'm going to Amazon to get mine now! Congrats on your new company Ryan!
Great video, thanks! My father is a long time Cactus enthousiast, he always told me to absolutely *never* give cactae water from above like in this vid. Doesn't happen in nature either & will make their root system rotting. Just so you'all know now. Best regards!
Wow! This is one of those simple things that makes me go "duh, why didn't anyone think of this before?" Lol. Very cool creation, I put it on my Christmas list and shared about it!
Thanks Regina! The drainage part is what has stopped this from being a thing, but we got that solved.
Hoping to make them available for Christmas regardless of success on Kickstarter. I will be rewarding Kickstarter backers even if campaign doesn't meet goal when I set up the Amazon store ;-)
Awesome concept. I love and need them. The wall hook one is super cool!!
Same one! Just hooked on the side :)
Awesome. Durable and beautiful. Fits into so many places.
Just backed for a triple pack myself, these will hang wonderfully from my hydro unit
Nice! Partners in pot hanging my friend!
Brilliant idea!
Wow, this design is so economically elegant in its simplicity- I think it’s so brilliant. I’m not sure many people would realize how many problems it solves at once ,and achieves this with so little.
While, yes, it is mostly incredibly replicate this concept, everything kind of hinges on those flanges which provide support without restricting the flow of water, and I have not been able to crack the nut on the best way to solve for that yet.
Even if and when I do (just because I think it’s fun) I’ll still be supporting this product and purchasing a set to offer credit where it’s due!
This would be fabulous on my patio. I'm heading over to make a purchase. Thanks for sharing!
You bet!
That concept--using the drain hole of your pot to secure the hanger and even build a stack of pots if desired--is brilliant. I bought one of your kits and will buy more. The only part of the design I'd suggest changing would be the little cup that hangs below and captures excess water. First of all, it really doesn't capture a significant amount of overflow. And second, the hook it hangs by isn't much of a hook! That little cup gets knocked off the bottom with almost no provocation. Brush against it, breathe on it, strong breeze coming in--it's not worth the hassle.
This is so lovely! Now I can get more plants into a small space
I just have one question, wouldn’t the hangers rust from the water that’s constantly dripping on it?
After a few years of use, Ryan's have little to no rust at all!
It's very beautiful
That’s such a cool 😎 design
I would imagine these pots get extremely heavy. Do you have to secure them to a stud in order for them not to pull your ceiling down?
It's a good idea, but good ceiling hooks will still support 2 pots in drywall
I live in an apartment and am afraid to drill into the ceiling :-( It would be nice to have general directions about how to select sizes for that situation.
good ideal a pot setup and share, thank you
Beautiful idea
I loved these when i saw them the other day mate. can see me using them in the shed at the garden
Herb shed!
It’s funny I was trying to diy my own way and it already exists lol still might diy this for fun
Great idea, Ryan!
Thanks Lisa!
game changer
I agree!
Great idea. I'm off down to bnq to get threaded rod, wide washers a sink drain and nuts with loops and make my own.
The way that your friend is staring at the lens. Its creeping me out a little. lol
Wish these were available in India..they look really neat!
That Rex is so beautiful😍
Really creative and beautiful !
genius!
I love it I need it
Love this!!
Will the metal cause issues for the plants when it comes in contact with wet soil over time?
Stainless steel, so there should only be minimal rusting over time. My friend's been growing with them for years and there's little to no rusting
Same question...
Amazing idea and beautiful video Thanks for sharing
I pledged and shared on Facebook. Good luck!
Amazing Anna!
Thanks Anna!!
What a great idea!!!
Really clever design!!!!
Is good to make hanging tomato 🍅 pots on the deck instead of a raised bed?
Awesome thank you!
Just loved it.
Wow Those are wonderful. I hope they take off.
Me too!
Thanks Chris! We hope so too!!
Fantastic idea I like it
Great idea!
Genious!
A friend of Kevin’s is a friend of mine! Ryan, I am “rooting” for you! Great concept! I just pledged and am excited for what’s to come. “Hang” in there! 🥰 🌵🌿
Ps. I was low key distracted by Kevin’s under cleavage sweat 😂
Hey, that's Ryan's! 😝
Whoops! Typo! “I was distracted by *Ryan’s under boob sweat” 💦
Fabulous 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Brilliant!
Brilliant!!!
Wow amazing ideas, I like it😍😍😍
Thanks Kevin for this fun demo! Head over to Kickstarter if you'd like to back the campaign and help bring these to market! www.kickstarter.com/projects/ryanbenoitdesign/skypots-hang-and-connect-your-favorite-pots
So stoked for you! Thanks for hanging as always
That looks amazing and The plant shelf! Where did you get that .. it's looks awesome
Please start shipping this to europe!
I’m in! Kevin thanks for the heads up on this.
You're welcome Mary!
Love this but wish you could remove without depotting
Wow so amazing
Hang it over a larger potted floor plant. Nice design
Nice.
Omg genious
Wouldn’t these rust with watering after a while? Would that not cause an issue later?
Love your video! I was wondering if you have any ideas on how to catch the draining water, when using a planter that already comes with a plastic hook hanger? These are usually for outdoor hanging planters, which are purchased from nurseries with the plants already included. It seems redundant to use a macramé type hanger in order to place a saucer under the planter base. I am trying to save my geraniums and ferns from the frigid Chicago weather.
You could string up clear plastic trays that you can buy anywhere any size, poke a hole on the high side for string and tie them up to the wires maybe? Or maybe even find a planter tray that matches yours.
From where can I get these sky pots in India?
Adorables smart.. chic❤❤❤
Dude you were on GMA this morning on "the dark side of TikTok" lmao
LOL I know. I think they misrepresented the platform but that's just how news works...plenty of good stuff going on there too!
@@epicgardening yea I figured lol. Saw your face and was like woah that guys in my CZcams feed haha
Are those bromeliads in the video? Do you use soil for them?
Soooooo. Bolts, washers and eyelets from Lowes 1/4 the cost. But bottom plant collecting salts or other leeched runoff from above? 🤔
🤩
Wow so beautiful idiya
Greetings from Acapulco. I like this idea but I need (my value system) to do this using recycled materials. Sorry! (Not really sorry) I love terra cotta but find the price of them high. Typically I reuse plastic containers which over time/sun shine will wear out which is fine because the plant also needs refreshing.
I could probably jerry rig this using my husband's excellent micky mouse skills but he is getting tired of my crazy ideas so only time will tell.
I would like to suggest that you date your videos. Some ideas never get old. I am close to 70 and I utilize many of my grandmothers ways of improvising. I just think dates are important esp when there are contest or other time sensitive information.
I am also hesitant to order out of country as shipping and importation are factors are a cost problem for me. Thank you!
It's cool but doesn't having the drainage hole raised create a resovoir of stagnant water around the base of the pot?
No, it drains through
Can they be shipped to Canada.
Hi Lise. There is Canada shipping option for the Gardener's Pack. I based the cost on shipping estimate from USPS.
Could I get the cost shipped to Canada. It looks to be such a great product.
I like it how can I get it
I would be worried about rust, not sure how it would effect plants tho.
@Mo Mo stainless steel also rust
@@Arokhantos I've been growing in stainless prototypes in my garden for over 4 years now with thriving plants and no rust :-) A little surface rust might develop and it can be polished off but also not likely to effect soil. Great concerns though and it's the reason I chose not to go with galvanized or zinc coated. Stainless is harder too so the rods will not bend easily. I really wanted to make a product that will last a lifetime.
i heard its bad to have water from another pot water the next?
The plants are off center 🤭
Chee Sim yeah just have to be mindful of what you want yours to look like. Obviously the vining and smaller foliage plants would look beautiful
My father used to hang his herbs in the kitchen like this, and that was way back in the eighties. Not what you call a new invention 😂
I invented that to....5 years ago..
Yes yes I definitely need these hope the aren't too expensive I have alot of plants.
Early bird is $26 for 2-Pack and $36 for 3-Pack. I really wanted to keep these affordable especially for kits that will outlast your pots :-)
@@TheHorticult ok thanks
👏👏🥂
You can buy all these hardware from home depot! 😆
Rabbit, If you used parts from the hardware store like large washers, nuts and all thread, you would completely obstruct drainage and kill the plants. The patent-pending invention is the drainable flanges with an offset drain chamber. There is a DIY version that we shared on The Horticult using test plug plumbing fixtures from Home Depot to create the drainable flange. The DIY version was actually more expensive than this version especially since the parts are custom stainless steel and now they can be assembled by hand. Check out more details at SkyPots.com and we hope you try them out!
This is great! Can we buy them in the UK?
If it gets funded!
Would love this..but I'm in Canada😔..they don't ship here
Catherine, we shipping the Gardener's Packs internationally to certain countries and Canada is on the list. After the campaign I plan to ship internationally through Amazon.
When is he doing wooden designs ? Instead of metal
Good luck
okay first of all I want to know how does the water drain out of it second of all I want to know how do you not make a mess all over the floor when you water it?🤔
Did you see the flanges? They have holes drilled in them. The bottom one will water the floor if you don't have the "Catch" which Ryan is developing, so that's why he recommends watering the bottom one over the sink
I liked the idea, but you can't center your plant in the pot.
Not directly in the middle, but quite close
Plants grow. Arrange the leaves a little. 🙂
Rod also works for staking and training the plant 🌱🌿
Ye vdo hindi m hoti to jyada achi hoti
Why not just make these yourself? Super easy, super cheap, and you can take pride in your work
My first thought. I get lots of ideas then stop at "anyone can make this..." But then, the Squatty Potty made millions so there is no accounting for collective lack of simple imagination. .
Too heavy
If you anchor well, you're good!
