How to Rebloom and Care for Orchids
Orchids are one of my favourite plants and I must admit I’m a bit obsessed with them (I can picture my daughter rolling her eyes as Mom is banging on about orchids again!). I love their exquisite, intricate flowers. and they last for SO LONG compared to other flowering plants and especially compared to cut flowers. They are also the gift that keeps on giving, as they rebloom over and over again. Homes aren’t homes without plants and flowers, and orchids are a great way to add style to, and accessorise your interior design. So if your buds keep falling off, or your orchid just won’t rebloom, then read on for tips and advice on orchid care, how to rebloom orchids, and how to tell the difference between a root and a spike.

When it comes to interiors, my absolute favourite thing has to be accessories. To me, a house without accessories is like a garden without foliage or flowers. As far as I’m concerned, accessories are a must when it comes interior design and decorating. They are that finishing touch that add life and personality to your home. Accessories are also small and inexpensive enough to move around and change up to refresh a look, without much cost or upheaval. Now, a great way to style your home on a budget is with charity shop finds as they are cheap (usually a fraction of the price they are worth) and often unusual.

Unless you’ve been living on another planet for the past few years, you’ll know that artificial flowers (and plants) are back, and playing a major part in today’s interior design schemes. And lucky for us all they are far superior to their 70’s counterparts! So much so, that it’s sometimes difficult to tell them from the real thing. So why not make your own artificial flower arrangement to accessorise your home.
I’m always looking at ways of being creative and doing things on the cheap for the same end result, and buying an artificial flower arrangement in a vase can be pricey.
