Hanging vines, also known as climbers or trailing plants, are a type of vegetation that grows by extending long, flexible stems or tendrils. These plants climb up and hang down from surfaces like walls, trees, or cliffs, often creating a cascading or draped effect. Common in tropical and temperate regions, they thrive in both dense jungles and managed gardens.

Vines have evolved various climbing mechanisms, such as twining stems, sucker pads, or clinging tendrils, to anchor and support themselves while reaching for sunlight. This growth habit allows them to thrive in environments where direct ground space or light is limited. Vines play an important ecological role, providing habitats and food for wildlife, and are also popular for their aesthetic appeal in landscape design.
