The poster series highlighted here is for Targetâs Spring campaign. I picked a collection of icons that read Spring at a glance, and I illustrated them using only an Exacto knife and one piece of paper each. The simple illustration style is what makes them unique and interesting.
The first step with any store-bought orchid is to enjoy the bloom. Don't attempt to repot a flowering plant. After the bloom is done, go ahead and cut off the dead flower spike with sterile snippers and repot the plant. Orchids should be potted into specialized orchid pots in orchid mixture.
Discard any water and/or fertilizer that accumulates. To get a moth orchid to rebloom, trim the flower spike (but not all the way) and let the plant settle into its new bloom/growth cycle. Moth orchids like a tight-fitting pot.Roots that extend through the air above the pot edges are natural; the plant is seeking moisture and room.f no bloom cycle starts within two months or if the stem yellows, cut the stem all the way off and allow the plant to go dormant. Water and fertilize every three to four weeks and wait. Or try this trick: Drop the temperature at night. Moth orchids are temperature-sensitive.
