Hanging Plants for Afternoon Sun in San Diego

Best Hanging Basket Plants for a West-Facing Porch

Noel and girlfriend want hanging plants for a west-facing porch with intense afternoon sun in San Diego.

Recommendations

• Ideal: Area somewhat shaded—plants get bright light but little direct sun.
• Foliage for sun: Ivy, spider plant, creeping Charlie.
• Heavy shade: Pothos, philodendrons.

Most hanging basket plants tolerate afternoon sun if not in full, direct blast.
