    Think Command hooks! They are designed to hold different weights and they also come in different sizes. I can visualize a very large one attached to the ceiling with the hook parallel to it. Hang your cord from the hook. If the hook is large enough and it can support the weight, it will hold the cord and the hanging plant. There are other gadgets that can be purchased that can adhere to the walls and be safely removed. Shelves are an idea too.

    Looking forward to any ideas regarding clever/attractive/functional storage ideas. Thank you!
