Hey plant lovers! I just moved into a tiny studio apartment and my space is dominated by my plants, which I love. The challenge? I need a way to elevate my plants to get them enough sunlight without damaging the floors or drilling any holes, especially since I want to keep my security deposit intact. I've seen some fancy plant stands at IKEA for around $60, but they don't hold that many plants. I'm seeking budget-friendly options that can accommodate a lot of greenery without cluttering the floor space too much. Any suggestions would be super helpful!

You should definitely check out local thrift stores! Open bookshelves or tables can work great as plant stands. They're usually pretty inexpensive and give you a lot of display options.
Have you tried checking Facebook Marketplace or the 'buy nothing' groups? You can often find free or super cheap shelving and furniture that would work well for your plants without breaking the bank.
I found these adjustable wire shelves at Home Depot that work perfectly for plant stands and light holders. They’re around $130, but you get a lot of surface area for your plants. Check them out! Also, some folks use clothing racks for hanging pots or wooden ladders with planks across the rungs for a nice look.
For a simple solution, I use wire shelves from Target for some of my plants. They’re affordable and can hold multiple pots while allowing light to reach them.
