Q: Water when the soil is almost dry. They need to be watered heavily so the plants get enough moisture. However, lavender plants must also be watered infrequently so the roots aren't in contact with moisture long enough to rot. Depending on where you live and what season it is, infrequent watering could mean weekly or biweekly. Shade reduces growth and fragrance of the lavender plants. Place on concrete surfaces in cooler temperatures to amplify the heat the plants receive. Freezing temperatures and snow aren't handled very well by lavender plants. One danger of leaving your lavenders in pots in the cold is that if there is enough moisture in the soil, it could freeze and crack your pots. The plant can handle the freezing, but your pots are less likely to. Lavenders should generally be pruned around August, but pruning time varies depending on what your climate is like. Use a pair of good pruning clippers to snip bunches of the stems away. As a general rule, prune at least a couple of months before winter sets in. Pruning a large lavender plant will take very little time with good pruning clippers Snip the stems about three fingers above the new stems that are springing up around the base of the plants. Pruning each year can potentially extend your lavender's life to ten years if your climate will allow the plant to live through winter.
A: Drench your plant in water. Place pots where they will get at least 6 to 8 hours of sunlight. Store your potted lavender plants in a garage or indoors during the winter to protect them. Prune your lavender plants.

Q: Make sure you have a good grip with your fingers so the orange doesn't slip while you're cutting it. The inside part of the orange should be facing downward.
A: Hold an orange firmly on a cutting board. Set the two orange halves skin-side up on the cutting board.

Q: If time is a factor, you can simply use both of your hands to squeeze and massage your entire foot. Begin with your right foot and then move on to your left foot.
A: Use your thumb to edge along the base of your toes, both on the soles and the tops of your feet. Massage and press all of your toes on each foot. Give yourself a complete reflexology session on both feet to induce relaxation, which reduces the stress that often triggers headaches.

Q: Shampoo is not necessary to clean your hedgehog's quills. In fact, some veterinarians and hedgehog breeders have recommended using only water to clean a hedgehog. If you decide to use shampoo, choose one that will not be harsh on your hedgehog's skin. Cat shampoo is a good choice for cleaning your hedgehog's quills. Tear-free baby shampoo is another good option. Since hedgehogs are prone to dry skin, oatmeal shampoo would be a great choice. Oatmeal nourishes and moisturizes the skin. Look for a pet-specific oatmeal shampoo at your local pet store. Other than shampoo, you will need a soft-bristled toothbrush and a few clean hand towels. As an alternative to a toothbrush, you could use a human nailbrush. The toothbrush or nailbrush are small enough to give your hedgehog's quills a good cleaning. In addition, these items would protect your hands from getting pricked during cleaning. Make sure the toothbrush or nailbrush is dedicated to only cleaning your hedgehog. Nailbrushes are available at your local pharmacy. If you are cleaning your hedgehog's quills in a sink, you will also need a rubber stopper. Place your supplies by the bathing area (either the tub or sink) so you will have everything close by when you need it. Use lukewarm, not hot, water, to clean your hedgehog's quills. Before filling the sink or tub, test the water temperature by running it over your hands. Once the water feels comfortably warm on your hands, fill the sink or tub with two to four inches (5 to 10 centimeters) of water. Clean your sink or tub before adding the water. Be mindful that hedgehogs tend to urinate or defecate during bath time. If you are using a sink, choose one where you will not be preparing food. Make sure to use shallow water only in your hedgehog's bath. If the hedgehog rolls up in deep water, then he may drown. After the bath, disinfect the sink or tub.
A:
Decide whether to use shampoo. Organize your supplies. Run some water in a sink or tub.
