Outgrowing my grow space (literally)
I've begun to outgrow my small window table that I use for my orchids right now. If I do some adjusting I can usually fit all of them on there in the best location for their light needs. Luckily I have a lot of paphs who do not require very bright light that can be put closer together. I use a small LED clip on light to supplement the sunlight from the south east windows for the guys who need brighter light. It won't be long before I have to expand to other locations though. . . It doesn't help that I live ten minutes from a local orchid nursery. . .

I second going vertical. Any there's some space to the left, bigger table!
And lights... The options are endless!

I feel your pain. I'd be in much deeper trouble if I lived as close as you do to an orchid nursery.  |

Yep, vertical. Where there's a will, there's a way. A couple of nice shelving units close to the windows, then add your table. There's always a way.
Nice collection, welcome to the board!

I agree on going vertical, the problem is, this table is pretty old and the sides can't support much weight. They are kinda flimsy. I'd probably go the route of just getting a new set of bakers shelves off Amazon so I could customize the heights.

Yeah, I'm really glad I have them too, It allows me a lot of flexibility with light exposure and having several different species in one spot. |

Okay, I hadn't thought to look there but that's a good idea.
