Less a couple of plants, this is what my 'garden' looks like these days - all indoors. I like the cascading type as you can see.
If you look closely you might see a couple of spots of color dotted around that don't seem very planty...
...and those are little weights I made to train the vines to grow downward and not twist. I saw this done with little brass bells once years ago, which works well but is jingly. These random, big beads I had, strung on a little wire, are just the thing.
They're light enough to encourage rather than force the brittle stems, they provide a little modest twinkle, and prove that I am the kind of lunatic that does shit like make jewelry* for their houseplants.

Ms Nations, your vertical indoor garden of spiderplants and bejewelled pothos (and whatever that crinkly-leaved plant is on the lower shelf) is delightful! Do you turn the plants so they grow evenly rather than leaning towards the window?
* I used the British spelling for the title as it wasn't a verbatim quote (so it didn't look weird to my British eyes), but left your original American spelling in the body of the post.
What a clever trick! I like the idea of jewelry for the houseplants. I have cacti and succulents under a grow light and that seems to be the best I can do to keep plants alive inside. I'm tempted to try a spider plant though. My mom had a brown thumb, but somehow she was able to keep a spider plant alive.
