Thanks, yes it works very well for space constrained growing! That south window is less than 3ft wide, and I'm only using 3-4ft vertically of it (except a bulbo high up). You can do a very similar setup with 3 straight bars of conduit spaced apart from window, no bending needed, just make different length hangers. I use a large shoe tray on floor to catch any drips after watering

Did you make the macrame/net hangers that hold the plant pots, or buy them somewhere? And do you remove the plants completely, or does the whole thing go in the water?

I've been thinking about getting some macrame-type hangers (or making them) for some of my non-orchid plants, but between not having hooks or bars (yet), and concerns about it making watering more difficult, I haven't actually done it.

If you look for synthetic macrame cord, they should dry out quickly and not rot. I used to be quite the macrame enthusiast, until my joints gave out.

Really gorgeous!!!

How tall is the plant? Also is the growth habit neat compact?

I haven't measured, but it is about 15 or 16" tall, 3 growths. It is relatively contained in a 5" pot with coarse media (medium/large bark, large CHC, LECA, & sponge rock)

Yes, I made the hangers. They're quite easy, just made from string. Its very similar to the tutorial here: Chi Chi Dee Handmade: DIY Macrame Pot Hanger Tutorial
To water, I use a large cup and a cheap plastic pitcher. I catch the runoff with the cup. I let it drain into the cup until it drips slightly, and there's a shoe tray below to catch the remaining drips. Watering in place with this setup is quite easy, but you need something to catch any dripping for 15 minutes or so afterward.
The bulbo (medusae) up top has a small saucer beneath the pot to hold extra water between waterings.
