here is what it looks like, but picture the things standing upright with the crown down and the leaves sitting on the shelf. ( i cant take a pic now because it is at a show )

the pic is from when it was outside, but you can sorta imagine

Mmm, it does look big. Is a horizontal training out of the question? (e.g. will it bump into other things on your shelf?)

Maybe you could partially bring it out and then allow it to naturally cascade...

Looking forward to some updates! How's the other one doing? (the one that moved down a shelf?)

i could., but if i do that, it will eventually grown ff the shelf and not be under the lights anymore. will the blooms then turn weird angles?

the one that got moved down is doing great

Mmm, you might find that the buds'll turn towards the light. Sorry, I'm getting kinda low on ideas now! But, I'm glad the other one is doing great despite the move, well done
