Which climbing houseplants are commonly used in hanging baskets?

Climbing and trailing plants are often used in hanging baskets due to their weeping growth habit. Among the most popular choices for this purpose are the rapid-growing species of Tradescantia and Zebrina, commonly known as inch plants or wandering jew, which are widely utilized in hanging baskets and window shelves.1

While many other climbers and trailers exist, such as ivy, Cissus species, and the wax plant, they are typically noted for their use in boxes, on windowsills, or as room dividers rather than specifically for hanging baskets. Additionally, spider plants are popular favorites that feature arching stalks, though they are distinct from the rapid-growing trailing species mentioned above.1
