Way late to the party, but is this a pothos? Mine is finally getting long enough to do something like this, but we can't put hooks in the ceiling. I like the look!
Never too late on Lemmy! I think so. Or maybe a philodendron.
It actually originally started in a glass bowl pot on our kitchen cupboard and we guided it to the other room. It was twice as long as in the photo. But then the stalk for some reason weakened in one spot and we were worried it was going to break off.
So we hung that "midway" pot in the photo and were able to get a risone to sprout root.
The weak spot eventually did break, so now we have 2! Plants are incredible. 😍
As for the hooks. Yeah we're lucky as we own the house and there's a nice wooden beam right there. But maybe you can use those stick on 3M cable management "hooks"? The vines definitely weight less than say a metal core cable. The pot can just be on a book case or something tall.
Regarding the plant now being two plants.... plants are just neat!
The command strip idea is really good, I think I'll try that out. My pothos is just now getting long enough to try and do something cool with.

My Earina Autumnalis orchid flowered
I have also got lots of other plants Im proud of, but I'm away from home so this is the only photo I've got.
Your terrarium is looking beautiful! I'm planning on making a large cooled terrarium for alpine plants sometime. All my current tereriums are small so it will be quite a challenge.
Cool orchid! I've got my first set of spikes going after a lot of failed attempts at keeping other orchids going.
Im also hoping to make a cool terrarium/grow space too... a lot of cool draculas and masdevallia that i want 😅
Your terrariums are beautiful and now I'm jealous. I couldn't even keep bamboo alive.
I mean if you chose a bamboo variety that loves it outside but hates it inside then it will be a big challenge to keep them alive inside (most bamboos you see growing outside won't like it inside)
Nice! Here, of all my orchids, only the Oncidium Twinkle is in flower.
