y husband and I have become addicted to orchids in the usual way. You buy one, then another and another and another, etc. We also went through the normal stages of growing them. You start on a window sill and then add humidity trays until your window sill is full and then you get a Baker’s Rack for more room. Then you need grow lights because the plants are too far from the window and then you start separating plants on their light requirements. We got to the stage where we had 3 Baker’s Racks in two different rooms with grow lights in both rooms. There were home made humidity trays on each shelf and we even hung many of them outside in the summer on chains suspended from the eaves of the house. Then we built a greenhouse and our space problems were solved, right? There were three 8 x 3 foot benches and two 14 foot hanging rods. It took us about 15 months to get to the point where we questioned the statement that “there is always room for one more orchid”. Well, we certainly weren’t going to stop buying orchids and you just don’t sell or give away your “children”, so we had a problem to solve.
I saw several pictures in the AOS Orchids magazine of grower’s greenhouses where they had constructed vertical wire walls or cylinders made of wire where you could hang orchids. So, I asked my husband to see if he couldn’t make something similar that we could use in our greenhouse to hang smaller orchids on.
