This is how I grow my vandas. It is very hodge podge because I built it my self. It's a little difficult when one walks with a cane but it's still amazing what an old lady can do when she sets her mind on doing it.
You can see sets of 2 poles in each black tray. The black trays all have a hose on them and they drain into a rain barrel on the floor. It's under the white rack. The rain barrel has a garden hose running from the bottom which drains into my shower stall. On the bottom you can see some grey sheets which I pull up when I water, so I don't spray everything else. I water with a wand which I attached to the shower head. Hope no one wants to take a shower
You may wonder why the green twist ties on the last rack of two. It is the last one I built and I couldn't get the pipes screwed together tightly. I'm waiting for a strong man to come to do it for me.
I have a 650 W HID light on a light mover above the plants. I want to paint the wall a white gloss enamel but I don't dare climb up on a step ladder to do it....It's a bummer getting old. I'm very independent but it's getting to the point where I can't do everything I want to do. It's possible I want to do more than I should.
It's still better than a retirement home!!!!

OOPS! I forgot to mention the shower curtain hanging on the end wall. It to keep me from watering my wall.
Just couldn't help but blow my own horn
