Hey y'all,Not the most knowledgeable on hanging things on drywall and had some questions. So my girlfriend and I just moved into a new place and the whole thing is brand new dry wall everywhere. We have a ton of plants and in our last place we had even hung a few of them. Lucky for us, that last place was really wonky and had a lot of hard wood surfacing on the ceiling...this new place however is all dry wall.So I got our hook screw to mount the first plant, spun it in at the desired spot and immediately knew it wouldn't hold. I can't really trust our stud finder as it also has given us some false readings on hard spots. So we started putting in plastic anchors that came in the Ikea Fixa screw set.We hung one plant and are about to hang another--and they FEEL STURDY--but I started doing some googling and am terrified at some of what I saw. There's a whole lot of "NEVER anchor to a dry wall ceiling. You will be sorry!" or that if you do anchor to a drywall ceiling it needs to be a heavy duty metal anchors.So I come to you DIY'ers asking for any advice. Below are the pictures of the first plant we hung and the anchors we've been using. All of the plants we are hanging are about 4.5-ish pounds and the first couple that we hung with anchors have held...which in my mind I feel like once its up, its good. But I just need some help from smarter people on here? Will this damage the ceiling? Over time will that anchor rip a bigger hole in the dry wall? Should we just not hang them or will we be fine? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.https://imgur.com/gallery/asvMeWeAlso, I'm guessing this may be something a bit more advisable? but how in the worst do you get that thing up there? We've had it for a while and never used thanks!https://ift.tt/2wqYmBZ via /r/DIY https://ift.tt/2WIZFqj
