I have narrowed down some plants I like for our indoor sunroom.

I am looking for a hanging plant that will live (not necessarily flower) indoors year round. Spider plants are a good example but I would like something different.

Do any of these plants serve that purpose?

PLECTRANTHUS

AESCHYNANTHUS

SOLENOSTEMON

Lantana camara

Ivy Geranium

Thanks.

All of the plants you have listed would work just fine. The only word of caution I would suggest are the ivy's. Any hedera will do 'okay' in a sunroom but really thrive in cooler lower light conditions.

One of my personal favorites for lots of sun and humidity as well as show is a Tradescantia zebrina (Wondering Jew). With a great deal of light they turn the deepest purple and provide a point of interest outsdie of the standard greens. Plus they are sturdy. I just love mine.

I have found that hedera really attract mealy bugs.
However, chlorophytum (Spider plants) are good for controlling pests.
