Allow the growing media to soak in water. Trim the spikes. Carefully remove the mini orchid from its current container. Brush off any planting media stuck to the roots. Snip away dead roots. Scatter a little of the growing media into the bottom of your new container. Fit the mini orchid into its new container. Slowly pour the growing media around the mini orchid's roots. Check the sturdiness of your re-potted mini orchid. Refrain from watering your freshly potted orchid for the first 10 days."
article: Mini orchids have fast-growing roots, and one of the main reasons you need to periodically repot your orchids is to provide the roots with plenty of room. The new pot only needs to be large enough to fit the roots; you do not need to choose a pot that is significantly larger to anticipate further root growth. Media with a base of moss and bark is superior to standard potting soil. For best results, let the drenched media sit for a full 24 hours so that it thoroughly absorbs the water. Snip off green spikes 1 inch (2.54 centimeters) above the top node. Trim yellow or brown spikes 1 inch (2.54 centimeters) above the bottom node. Gently grab the base of the orchid with one hand and the pot with your other. Tip the mini orchid to its side or upside-down, and slowly squeeze or rotate the sides of the pot until the clump of roots comes free. Media breaks down as time passes, and old, decomposed media is more likely to cause your orchid's roots to rot. As a result, you need to remove as much old media as possible. Dead roots with look brown and wilted. Healthy roots, on the other hand, are white or green and relatively firm. You only need a little, since the mini orchid's roots should fill the majority of the container. Hold the orchid up so that the base of the lowest leaf dips below the rim of the pot by 1/2 inch (1.27 centimeters). Press down on the media gently to force it into the bottom and around the sides of the container. Periodically tap the side of the container to help settle it. Continue adding the media until the entire root system is covered, leaving the plant exposed from the bottom leaf up. Lift the plant up by the stem. If the pot starts to slip, you need to add more media to make the orchid more secure. Instead, sit it in a warm location and mist it with a little water each day. The leaves should stay dry at night.

Avoid getting vaccinations, deworming, or giving medications to your cat if she's pregnant. Increase her caloric intake in the last few weeks of her pregnancy. Keep the queen inside during the last few weeks of pregnancy."
article: The vet can confirm the pregnancy and advise you on caring for the cat.  Ask your vet about caring for the queen and preparing for the birth.  Have the vet examine the queen’s stomach; after about 17-25 days, an experienced veterinarian can usually feel the embryos. Leave feeling for embryos to the vet--your prodding could lead to a miscarriage. If the vet is unsure after feeling your cat for embryos, they can instead use an ultrasound to determine whether or not your cat is pregnant and, if so, with how many kittens. The vet will be able to detect fetal heartbeats by 20 days into the pregnancy with an ultrasound. At approximately 45 days of gestation, the skeletons of the kittens can be seen with an x-ray, which will confirm the pregnancy and the number of kittens in the litter.  The vet will typically take two x-rays in order to get views of the abdomen and count kittens while also looking for potential problems. These x-rays will not hurt the queen or the kittens. An X-ray is better for counting fetuses than an ultrasound, though it still isn’t 100% accurate. Vaccines in particular may be dangerous to the queen or her kittens during gestation. Consult your vet before giving the any medications, including dewormer, to the queen or, after she gives birth, to the kittens. You may notice your cat consuming more food and gaining weight as she gets closer to giving birth. Because the kittens are developing rapidly during the last third of pregnancy, you should feed your cat a growth (kitten) formula diet to provide sufficient calories. As your cat gets closer to giving labor, be careful to keep her inside so that she won’t find a place outside to give birth to the kittens.  It’s best if you prepare a nest or whelping box for her inside the house. Place a box in a warm, dry, quiet place in the house and line it with newspaper or an old towel or blanket. Set your cat’s food, water, and litter box nearby and encourage her to sleep in the box in the days leading up to the birth.

California girls are known for their love of the outdoors, especially due to access to many beautiful beaches and national parks. You can embrace this love of the outdoors by making an effort to explore the natural areas where you live on your own, with family, or with friends. This could be weekly hikes, a daily walk in a park nearby, or even a surfing trip to a coastal area with friends. Focus on emulating the California girl way of connecting with nature. Get the California girl look the natural way by going to the beach for a long swim in the ocean and a tanning session in the sun. If you do not live near the ocean, you can spend time tanning outside in your backyard during a warm day or swim in a lake close to your home. Maybe you’re lucky enough to have a pool or a friend with a pool, where you can try the California lifestyle of relaxing by the water. Always wear sunscreen before going in the sun or in the water. California cuisine is known for its "fusion" approach and for its focus on natural, locally grown ingredients including fresh (often lightly cooked) vegetables, fresh fruits, and seafood. California is also known for Mexican food like burritos and tacos, Japanese food like sushi and sashimi, and anything made with avocado. You may also show a preference for In-N-Out burgers, a popular burger chain in California. Embrace the California vibes by decorating your room or your home with the laid back aesthetic of California. This means combining new furniture with vintage furniture and focusing on keeping the space open and calming. You can also choose furnishings that are light or dark wood and then adding pops of color in the frames on the walls or the light fixtures in the rooms.
