Right above my desk.

They get swapped around a lot, like Tetris, but right now I think I have:

4 pothos (3 mothers and one start)
2 tradescantias, small green leaves, trailing
1 tradescantia, tall purple, upright pallida
1 maranta, started from a one leaf cutting, working on 14 now
1 scindapsus pictus, started from one leaf, now working on ten
3 monstera delicosias, rescue cuttings from the tortured massage parlor mother (99% darkness, flooded with water)
Wondering how to rig a Jungle Dawn angled back towards the wall so it doesn't blind the other guy in the office with the glare.

Would probably have to be wall mounted, away from the wall a couple feet, but then angle back toward the wall at about 45 degrees.

Or just maybe suspended by cable from the drop ceiling braces, but would still have to figure out how to angle it. Maybe just loop the cable around the bar, rotate it to what I want and cinch it down at the right angle instead of attaching it directly to the light first and figuring out the angle second.

Hmm

Unsure on the scindapsus.

I know I want to support it and train it upwards.

Vacillating between a mossy vine stick 8 stick teepee ( square pot ) for it to support itself with its vines, or a 1 solid kenaf sheet rolled tight, tied off and kept moist as a central support for it to pull itself up after my wrapping it around.

See what great mental exercise it is to own plants?
Tetris

LOL! Tetris describes my plants when they are inside for winter. I didn't even see the front of some of them for a few months. Too many others would need to move (and move to... where?) for me to get a look.

I hear you.
Luckily I have 2 plant shelves in the office, 3 in the animal room, and 1 on the sales floor. All of them have Jungle Dawn LEDs except the shelf pictured above.
As I grow out cuttings and shift them out for sale I'm always generating new space. It disappears very quickly though.

lucky you! you must never get bored!
How many times have I played plant tetris and found room for one more, when it was full before.

It keeps me busy and gives me a break from researching and building and placing orders, watching 37 security cameras, and a bit of bookkeeping.

Some of the employees are very into houseplants, so I've been walking them through cuttings and potting plants up. They love it, great break from working the counter, and can pretty much do it on their own now.

But yes, being able to sell them off makes a big difference in the Tetris scheme of things.

Any suggestions, cage for the vines or central support for vines and aerials?

I'm more of a fan of a cage or trellis type of support for vines because the post/pole is so limited. Once the vines reach the top, there's nowhere else for them to go. With something like a tomato cage, you can guide them back down, around, over & over, creating a solid column of foliage for years before it gets out of hand and you cut it into pieces and start over. ...Or you can do the around-the-room thing on a wall... Some roots will stick to the wall and ruin the paint, or make deeper damages into the actual wall.

My thoughts too, thanks.

Happy to share. It's fun to run through various possibilities over time and then repeat the ones that were the most satisfying.
