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.
1 One of the easiest thing to use is a bark mix for orchids. 2  To re-pot your plant, get a plastic or clay pot (plastic holds water better and you water less with one than clay-if you have tendency to over water, go with clay). 3  Go with a pot size that fits the roots the best, not the leaves. You can put a plastic pot with holes into a more decorative container if you want to and then just take it out when you water it. 2  Orchids don't like to have wet feet! 3  Not all roots may fit in the pot and that is normal. ( 4 Phals have aerial roots, you can mist them with a spray bottle when you water the plant).
