GREG HAREM: Okay. Now, let's insert our tropicals. With your main Heliconia, you want to place it closest to the back as possible and right in the middle, and just shove it right down until you hit the very bottom of the glass. And then, for just an added interest, you want to cut the top spires here at an angle. Make sure it's clean. Next, your ginger. Like I said, make sure they're inserted at an angle. The first one should be right next to the main Heliconia, and again, all the way to the bottom. This should be facing out just a little bit towards you. This one should go in between the two you've already placed, like that. So this one should go with the other main Heliconia at an angle. Push it right in. So you always want to make sure you get to the bottom of the glass 'cause that's where all the water is going to be that--it will absorb up the stems. So next, we'll be doing the orchids.
