What can I use to hold and elevate my indoor plants?
I’m looking for a plant stand or something I can make to put on top of my kitchen island to hold my plants a little bit higher up so their leaves aren’t taking up the space of the island table. I can prune and such and I can put them on the floor in the corner of my kitchen but then my almost 2 year old will get into the plants and I don’t want that to occur. Any ideas?

You could make or buy some macramé plant hangers or do simple pots with rope or chains.

Maybe you can place them on cake stands or tiered trays?
Try using metal coffee cans that you've covered with a heavy paper or cloth. That should take them high enough and be very very simple.
