DIY Terrarium with mini orchid

Just a little more wait, and spring will be upon us. Can’t wait any longer? Bring spring into your home! For example, with this terrarium with a mini orchid. It’s very easy to make on your own, yet it looks spectacular. And with the colourful hues, you’ll surely get a bit of spring fever! Read on to find out what you need and how to get started.

DIY Terrarium with mini orchid

Necessities

To create a terrarium with a mini orchid, you’ll need the following:

  • Large glass jar
  • Hydrogranules
  • Bark potting soil
  • Mini orchid
  • Other small green plants of your choice
  • Moss

Instructions

Got everything you need? Then let’s get started! Start with a layer of hydrogranules at the bottom of the glass jar. This ensures proper water management. The granules absorb moisture and release it gradually, allowing the plants to receive the right amount of water over an extended period. On top of this, add a layer of bark potting soil. This type of soil is specifically developed for orchids and is much lighter than regular potting soil. Next, it’s time to plant the mini orchid and green plants. Place the mini orchid in the centre as the focal point, with the green plants surrounding it. Finally, distribute some moss over the soil.

Trend colour: Sweet Embrace

The trend colour we’ll be seeing a lot of next year is Sweet Embrace. Dulux has declared this as the Colour of the Year 2024. It’s a gentle blossom pink that is welcoming and brings a sense of peace and softness to a space. An easy way to add this colour to your interior is through orchids. This allows you to introduce a pop of colour, without immediately painting an entire wall in this shade.

Trend: Curved Lines

The Curved Lines trend revolves around round shapes. Think of the round and oval dining tables that we saw a lot of in 2023. In 2024, we’re taking it a step further with even more organic shapes. Imagine a table with a top in various winding forms that seamlessly flow into the legs. Or a curved sofa, a rug in shapes other than straight lines, or start small with a plant pot in organic forms, housing an orchid in a natural hue.

Trend: Soft Seventies

The Soft Seventies trend takes us back to the Seventies, a vibrant decade where fabrics and patterns were all about going wild. In 2024, we leave behind the busy prints and instead embrace velvet fabrics, vertical wooden slats, large and comfortable furniture pieces, and funky shapes that add a twist to your interior. The colour palette consists of greens like olive, shades of purple, and caramel. A colour combination that you can easily bring into your home with orchids!

Around the Colour of the Year, palettes have been created with colours that are easy to apply and reflect various trends. The colour palettes represent three trends: the quest for belonging, the quest for tranquillity, and the quest for joy.

 

An uplifting colour story

Mixing ethereal and dreamy tones of ochre and soft lilac, this palette has a contemporary, uplifting mood. Its mix of shades provides great opportunities for dynamic colour combinations that can enliven a scheme and bring energy and positivity.

 

 

A warm colour story

Warm, natural shades of sand, soil and terracotta – this family of global earth tones can help create spaces that feel familiar and embracing. These colours are ideal for layering to create a warm, comforting backdrop, and they work particularly well in living rooms or places where people want to come together, connect with family and friends and feel relaxed.

This palette works perfectly with natural materials such as wood, cork and wool.

What to do when an orchid is dropping buds, flowers or leaves?

Orchids are easy-to-maintain houseplants. However, like any other plant, care issues can occasionally arise, leading to the dropping of orchid buds, flowers or leaves. While this might be alarming, it also serves as a gentle warning from the plant. In this article, we’ll explain the reasons behind bud, flower, and leaf drop, so you can prevent it in the future.

What to do when an orchid is dropping buds, flowers or leaves?

When when an orchid is dropping buds, flowers or leaves, this can be caused by various factors. We’ll discuss them one by one below.

 

Why are the flower buds dropping from my orchid?

If the buds of an orchid are falling off, the plant might not be receiving enough sunlight or water. Place the orchid in a brighter spot and water it at least once a week. Temperature fluctuations, such as draughts, are also detrimental to orchids. If your orchid is new to your home, bud drop is likely a response to the changed environment.

Why are the leaves falling off my orchid?

If the leaves of an orchid are falling off, the plant may have been sitting in water for too long. This can cause the roots to rot, resulting in yellowing leaves that eventually fall off.

Also read: What to do with an orchid with yellow leaves?

 

Why are the flowers falling off my orchid?

Since orchids are tropical plants, they thrive in warmth. If they are too cold, both buds and flowers can drop because the roots become less active. Therefore, ensure that your orchid is always placed in an area with an average temperature of at least 15 degrees Celsius.

Bonus tip

Keep orchids away from the fruit bowl. Ripening fruits release a significant amount of ethylene, which is not favorable for blooming orchids, and can also lead to bud, flower, and leaf drop.
