Appreciate it! I personally think it could be improved upon, but my fiance likes it too so I shouldn't be too hard on myself.
The stand is called a
rankake which is just "orchid hanger" in English.
I got it from
this ebay store, which was probably a bit silly considering I could've gotten it from
Negie Orchids instead.
That same ebay store also sells other Japanese items, like...a
carpenter hammer. Because, you know, why go to the hardware store? Oh, and also
tabi socks.
I joke, but they were great at staying in contact with me and letting me know about the shipping status, outside of the regular ebay emails.

Hmm, okay. I think I was just wanting to be cautious because my little Daruma one has been aborting buds, which is odd because I've been letting it's moss mound dry out between waterings like the other Phal I have, and fertilizing it every other watering. My only guess it would be because it's not in a humid enough place. It's been indoors most the time.

Thanks! I would like to find a stand for the Cymbidiums as well, as I've seen there's ones for the tall Cymbidium pots, but I can't see to find one. I guess it's because I don't know what the name of it would be, in Japanese or Chinese or Korean.
Maybe Asian Cymbidium Empress would know what it's called.
