You should go to your local garden center and see what they have offered.You can ask questions about lighting and how well the plant will grow in your area.Lots of options for a hanging basket.
That's not really an option where I live. I'm probably going to have to rely on Prime here. Also, I have a distinct preference for organic and heritage. I'd also like to cultivate something useful- I've started a kitchen herb garden in the screened porch. The Basil died, but the rosemary and mint seem to be doing well. Strawberries suddenly occurred to me as a possible hanging plant. There have to be some tiny varieties that could work.

If I had a hanging pot, I’d put a fragrant herb in it, like Basil, or I’d grow cherry tomatoes in it.
I like that. I haven't been successful with basil, and I'd be worried about tomatoes being too heavy for the hanging planter/existing hook.

If you have plenty of light geraniums are a good choice. They are very easy to grow and usually survive infrequent watering better than most other potted plants.
It's a covered porch, so partial light, I think. Infrequent watering sounds good though.

I like to grow indoor plants from seeds I buy online. I love plants and have them everywhere in my tiny flat.
My parents used to grow ferns like that. It gave the living room a kind of pre-historic feel. I liked it.
