Make It: Indoor Orchid Terrarium

How was your weekend? Hopefully enjoyable and relaxing! While we had a cheery weekend in San Diego with warm temperatures and clear skies {usually the first two weeks in January are gorgeous}, we know that some rainy days are ahead, which we’ll welcome. Much of our weekend was spent prepping for some Monday shoots we hope inspire: think more fresh-inspired cocktails, DIY projects, and spring inspiration. We did manage to relax a bit as well unwinding with a movie night {we started at 6pm!} with back-to-back fun, movie candy, and popcorn. Boy, did it feel good to totally shut off. We need to make a point to do that more often.

You’ll need: an 8″ wide round vase | 2 small orchid plants | black sand | black rocks | Spanish moss

Remove the little orchids from their ceramic containers but leave them in their plastic as this keeps their roots nice and snug and in tact.

Add a bit more sand and black rocks to nestle the plants in place.

Top the plants with Spanish moss around the base so you cover the roots.
There you have it: your own little indoor tropical paradise. This would also make a sweet hostess or neighborly gift. Tend to your orchids by keeping them in a warm and humid space like a bathroom. Water with warm water and orchid food.
