How to decorate an Easter table that instantly brings joy

 

 

A plant pot with Easter eggs

Look for an old plant pot, buy a bag of individually wrapped Easter eggs, and a tube of glue. Then, stick all the eggs onto the plant pot and place an orchid inside. We bet this will garner plenty of compliments! And the best part: you can snack on the Easter eggs during the Easter brunch!

An Easter arrangement with orchids

Another fun idea for Easter is to create an Easter arrangement with orchids. It looks spectacular but is easy to make yourself! And as a finishing touch, add a few small bunnies and Easter eggs.

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.

In December, most homes are beautifully decorated with a Christmas tree, Christmas ornaments, and lots of lights. But in January, it’s all gone, making a home instantly less cozy. That’s why we came up with a Christmas arrangement that you can enjoy until the new year. Tip: this arrangement with orchids and ornaments also makes a great gift!

 

A Christmas arrangement

For this Christmas arrangement you’ll need: a large container, three orchids, moss, and ornaments. Place the orchids one by one in the container. Spread the moss over the pots, so you don’t see what’s underneath. Finally, place several ornaments on the moss. Voila! The Christmas arrangement with orchids and ornaments is complete. Check out the video below for a step-by-step guide:

…to enjoy until the new year

Once the holidays are over, simply remove the ornaments from the arrangement. This way, you still have a beautiful orchid arrangement! Most people get rid of the Christmas tree and all the decorations on January 5th, but that often leaves a void. This way, you can still keep a bit of coziness in your home.

Creating an orchid arrangement may sound difficult, but it’s actually quite simple – even if you’re not an experienced florist. Plus, an arrangement full of lush orchids is the perfect way to brighten up any room or make a special gift! So, whether you want to spruce up your home or give a thoughtful present, a homemade orchid arrangement is always a great idea.

How to create a stunning orchid arrangement

Generally, you don’t need much to make an orchid arrangement. The basic requirements are a few orchids, a beautiful large bowl, and some moss. That’s it! You can place the orchids, still in their plastic pots, in the bowl. That may seem a bit strange, but you won’t see the plastic pots later on. Play around with the composition of the plants until you’re happy with how they look. Once you’re satisfied, cover the plastic pots with some moss, and voilà: a stunning orchid arrangement!

Shake the bottle carefully to mix everything. Then cut a few flowers from the orchid and place them in the bottle. In the video below we used a fragrant Phalaenopsis, but you can use a Cambria, Miltonia or Zygopetalum too. Twist the cap on, shake it a bit and spray!

How nice is it to take your orchid out of its pot and turn it into a kokedama? This is very well possible since orchids have aerial roots and can therefore grow without potting soil. The pot is really only used to place orchids. Pack the root ball as a kokedama (moss ball) for an even more beautiful styling and natural look. A trendy indoor mini garden with exclusive orchids. Easily done, and a beautiful effect!

 

 

DIY: Kokedama with exclusive orchids

You will need:

• Paphiopedilum
• Sheet moss
• Winding wire
• Wire cutters

Step 2:

Fold the moss around the roots and try to keep as much of the root ball inside the moss as possible.
