The ParaGard IUD doesnât have hormones. Itâs wrapped in a tiny bit of copper, and it protects you from pregnancy for up to 12 years. The Mirena, Kyleena, Liletta, and Skyla IUDs use the hormone progestin to prevent pregnancy. Progestin is very similar to the hormone progesterone that our bodies make naturally.
Winter is the time when most orchid varieties stop blooming and enters into a state of dormancy. The best sign to look for and say that you are now ready to do repotting is when there are new roots that sprouting. A good tip to remember is to put a label on your pot when is the first time you completed repotting.
You can often trim an orchid spike to encourage a second flush of flowers. Phalaenopsis orchids (Phalaenopsis spp.), one of the most common orchid types, can bloom for several months, displaying beautiful flowers on long flowering spikes. Also known as moth orchids, phalaenopsis orchids can often bloom a second time if you trim the bloom spike at the end of the flowering period. A secondary spike grows from the primary flower spike, but the flowers are usually less prolific in the second blooming cycle.
