If you prefer, you can use pulp-free orange juice, or orange juice with pulp for additional thickness. Orange juice will add a little bit of tartness to your smoothie, contrasting well with the sweetness of the strawberries and blackberries. You can use fresh or frozen strawberries and blackberries. If you are using fresh fruit, be sure to wash it and remove the crown (the green leafy stem at the top) of the strawberries before adding to your mixture. Pour your smoothie into a chilled glass or cups to share. Top your smoothie off with a straw.

Summary: Pour orange juice into the blender. Add the strawberries and blackberries. Enjoy your smoothie.

Depending on how long you have before your party, try to refrigerate the juices, fruit punch, pink lemonade, and rum for as long as you can before mixing everything together. If your fridge won't fit everything, just get as much in there as you can. Chilling the ingredients beforehand is really helpful so that you won't have to use as much ice. Ice would dilute your drink and take up more room in the punch bowl. Vodka won't freeze solid no matter how long it's in the freezer for, so it's a great way to get it really cold before you have to add it to the punch. Even if you won't be making the punch for a few days, it's okay to leave it in there. Don't put the rum or the other liquids into the freezer, though. They might freeze solid or break open, which could make things really difficult when it comes time to mix the punch. Punch bowls are great, as are those large drink dispensers that let people pour their own drinks. If you don't have any of these available, find the largest glass or plastic bowls that you can, or grab a few pitchers and make do with what you have. Rinse them out or wipe them down ahead of time to clear away any dust that may have accumulated since the last time you used them. If you're concerned about the drink being cool enough, you could always place the punch bowls on top of ice to help keep things chilled. That way the drink itself won't get diluted. This recipe makes about 2.5 gallons (9,500mL) of jungle juice. If your punch bowl isn't large enough for that entire amount, split the liquids out evenly between however many containers you'll need to use. Measure out 1 gallon (3,800mL) of orange-flavored drink, 46 fluid ounces (1,400mL) of fruit punch, 2 US quarts (1,900mL) of pink lemonade, 2 US quarts (1,900mL) of a pineapple and orange juice blend, 2 750mL (25floz) bottles of vodka, and 1 750mL (25floz) bottle of white rum. A great thing about jungle juice is that you can swap out ingredients for whatever you like the best. If you prefer cranberry juice or mango juice, use that instead! If you want lime-lemonade, switch it out. Whatever you do, the drink will be fruity and boozy. Use a long wooden spoon to gently stir everything together. It shouldn't take long, which makes this a nice, easy recipe to pull together quickly before a party starts. If you want, you could even add in some fresh fruit to the serving bowls. Sliced strawberries, diced apples, and fresh citrus are great options that complement the fruity vibe of the drink. Ladle the juice into cups for your friends to enjoy (or just let them serve themselves). Add ice to individual cups when needed, and have a good time celebrating. Make sure to drink safely, stay hydrated, and stay off the road if you've over-imbibed. There probably won't be any jungle juice leftover, but if there is, put it into an airtight container and store it in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Give the mixture a quick stir before you drink it again, just in case any of the juices have settled to the bottom.

Summary: Refrigerate as many of the juices and other blends as you can. Put the vodka in the freezer to chill it before the party. Clean out containers that will be large enough to hold all the liquid. Pour all of the liquids into the serving bowl, dividing equally if needed. Stir all the ingredients together until they are fully combined. Enjoy the jungle juice and drink responsibly!

Choose a spot that isn't full sun (unless the plant is a succulent, cactus, or a plant with flowers). Also, don't pick a spot that gets extreme temperatures. A sunny room is a good choice, but set the plant out from the window 4 to 5 feet (1.2 to 1.5m) so that it gets indirect light. Leave the plant in this spot to help it adjust. Resist the temptation to move the plant around or to transplant it into a new pot. Let the soil dry out almost completely before giving it its first watering. After being moved around among several different environments, the plant is in a state of semi-shock and needs time to adjust to yet another environment. Isolate new plants from other plants in the house to prevent the spread of diseases and pests. Avoid placing a warmth-loving species in the greenhouse or warm room right away, even if it loves the situation. Many florists and garden centers keep plants in lower temperatures, and if you make the plant too warm at first, it can lead to shock. The plant has probably been fertilized at some point. The plant already has enough nutrients, and adding more could do more harm than good. After about a year, the plant may need fertilizer. Check on what that species needs specifically, as some do not need fertilizer at all.
Summary: Pick a good spot in your house. Avoid fertilizing the plant.
