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.
If your orchid is a Dendrobium type, trimming is a little different. Trim the flowers off as they fade but leave the stem. Next year it will flower on the same stalk. Trim roots and re-pot as normal. If there are any places on the stalk that have turned yellow or brown, cut them back completely so that the plant will grow back healthier. 2  Remove the orchid from its pot. 3  Prune away any dead or damaged roots. 4  Replant the orchid in a bigger pot each year so that it has more room to grow.
