OP here - I can't edit the original post, but should mention that by "hanging" I mean the plants grow/hang downward (not just the pot hangs from a hook) similar to how Pothos will hang and create a veil-like wall to block the sun. Answer from joeshmogen on reddit.com

r/HawaiiGardening on Reddit: Recommendation for Hanging Plants for Full Sun?
September 24, 2023 -
I would like to have some hanging plants that blocks the mid-morning sun. This faces east. I thought potted Pothos might work, but I think it's just too much sun for them. These have been there for about 4 months and aren't doing so well. It gets full sun till about noon in the summer and till after 1pm in the winter.
Any recommendations? Thanks.

Pothos are able to tolerate a good amount of direct sunlight but in my opinion they grow weak when hanging as they are epiphytic climbers. If you place them in a large pot on the ground and allow them to climb then hang down they should do better. Another option would be Spanish moss a.k.a. Hinahina in Hawaii, provided they get a good soaking of water each day.

I forgot that the sun was a thing and now I've had to move all my hanging plants from the windows. My babies were getting scorched :( Now, all that remains are a bunch of cacti and snakeplants. In short, my windows look empty and boring now.
I can't seem to find any trailing plants that actually enjoy direct sunlight... 99.9% of them enjoy indirect sunlight, and I probably already have them. Does anyone have any suggestions for what my next purchase should be?

Then it's time to decide where you want to put it. In the living room? In the porch? If it's somewhere bright and sunny, you've got plenty of options. If you want to put it somewhere that gets more indirect light, or is even shady, then you may want to consider a fern or other low-light loving plant, like a pothos.
