In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: 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.
Summary: Choose a slightly larger container than the one your orchid currently sits in. Look for a growing media that has large particles. 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.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Knowing when you're ready to take big steps in life can be hard, and kissing someone for the first time is one of those big steps. If you're wondering if you're ready to kiss someone, ask yourself: Do you think about kissing this person a lot? Do you have strong feelings for this person? Are you comfortable around this person? Does the thought of kissing this person make you happy and excited? If you answered yes to all or most of these questions, you're likely ready to kiss that special someone! When you're ready to experience a kiss with your partner, there are two things you can do: either wait to be kissed, or initiate the kiss yourself. If you'd rather wait to be kissed, there are ways you can show that you're ready, including: When you hug, hold on a little tighter than usual, and rest your head on your partner's shoulder Make lots of eye contact Smile a lot Try to find excuses to get close Touch your hair, as this is a sign of flirting You can also choose to initiate the kiss yourself, and there are signs you can look for that will demonstrate that your partner is ready to kiss as well. These include: Making eye contact with you Making excuses to get close or touch you Complimenting you often Blushing or laughing a lot around you Chewing gum all the time Sharing a kiss is something that most people like to do in private, so finding the right time to kiss can be important. For instance, when you pass in the hall in between classes probably isn't the best time to do it! There are lots of places where first kisses happen, including: Bowling alleys At the movies A school dance On a school trip At camp On the bus Kissing somebody can make you really nervous, but it's important to stay as calm as you can, in order to avoid sweating excessively, throwing up, or getting too scared and not going through with it. Ways you can keep calm are: Have a plan about when and where you're going to do it. Don't rush yourself. If you aren't actually ready, you might feel extremely nervous before a kiss, and this could be your brain's way of saying you aren't ready. Don't make too big a deal out of it. When you're going to do something that scares you, it can be easy to make it seem like a much bigger deal than it is, and this can make you even more nervous! Have your plan ready and then keep your mind off the kiss until you're ready to do it. Figuring out what another person wants based on signals is hard, and it's easy to misinterpret what people want just based on body language. To avoid making a mistake, simply ask your partner before going in for the kiss. You can say something like, "May I kiss you?" or "How about we kiss now?" Don't worry about thinking that asking might ruin the mood. Your partner will appreciate that you're being respectful and considerate, and that you want the moment to be special for you both. When the time comes and you're both ready, just go for it! Sit or stand close enough that you can reach your partner without straining. Look your partner in the eye and tilt your head to one side. If your partner tilts to the other side, close your eyes and lean in for the kiss. Pucker your lips slightly, and with your mouth closed, press your lips against your partner's gently but firmly. You want to close your eyes before the kiss because keeping your eyes open can give the impression that you're dishonest.
Summary:
Figure out if you're ready to kiss. Signal that you're ready to be kissed. Pay attention to your partner's signals. Find the right time and place. Muster your courage. Ask your partner for a kiss. Kiss your partner.
