                             How do you re-energize and get your mojo back? A trip to a botanical garden
                             works for me! This photo is from the Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden on the
                             Big Island of Hawaii, just 7 miles north of Hilo and an hour’s drive from the
                             erupting Kilauea volcano. The skies were clear and the views breath-taking.
                             Always good to be reminded that the tropical plants we work with, like this
                             towering marginata, originated in the rainforests.

From the Editor
                           Last month I had the chance to visit the Big Island of Hawaii and meet some
                           of the tropical plant growers at the HENA conference (Hawaiian Export and
                           Nursery Association.) The nurseries I visited were very similar to those in
                           Florida and everyone I met was truly passionate about growing the best
plants possible, taking pride in their work and their plants. The quality of plants that I saw was truly
amazing—I would have brought them all back home with me if I could! I also had a chance to visit a
couple of botanical gardens where that same level of passion was obvious, and we’ll be featuring
those in an upcoming issue.

The growers themselves will tell you that the difference in their plants is a result of two things: the
volcanic cinders used in their potting mix, and the aloha spirit. That spirit encompasses more than
just a greeting—it includes affection, gratitude, kindness and compassion. The growers see them-
selves as belonging to one ohana, one family, one community. Competition in business is friendly and
most of the growers are long-time friends. Each business does their best to grow an exceptional crop
of plants, each are proud of their work, and each cooperates and works with each other whenever
needed. Those who lost everything in the recent volcanic eruptions have received help and homes
with their friends while they get back on their feet again.

Seems like we could use a little more of that same aloha spirit in our community—and in our country.

Here’s hoping you enjoy this issue of I-Plants Magazine, and do your part to improve this ohana.

            (Re)Introducing Aglaonemas!
By Kingston White and Brett Weiss
Morning Dew Tropical Plants

Aglaonemas are a genus of staple indoor plants. A common
pronunciation is “a-gla-o-ne’-ma”, but no matter how you
say it, we still know what you mean—even if you call it a
Chinese evergreen!

They grow well in low-light conditions, maintain a smaller,
shorter presence that is not quick to get overgrown, and
come in a variety of colors. Whether seen in dazzling green,
red, white, pink or some shade of silver, Aglaonemas also
offer a variety of leaf widths and sizes to fit whatever your
application needs!

Since Hurricane Irma, we have seen a decrease in the availa-
bility of Aglaonemas of many sizes, especially larger sizes.

Now that nearly a year has passed since Irma, we are seeing
more and more plants available—including Ags! Read below
for guidance when ordering these fantastic indoor beauties
as we get back to availability post-hurricane.

We are seeing these Aglaonemas come back in limited
quantities, but keep in mind they still may not be at the
same specs they were at a year ago. Demand is high, so the                       A. ‘Papaya’
plants are going fast—even at shorter specs. Economics 101

                                                                               ply and high demand, some
                                                                               less-discerning buyers are
                                                                               willing to take smaller crops.

                                                                               Keep that in mind as you are
                                                                               planning your installs, pre-
                                                                               senting bids to potential cli-
                                               A. ‘Spring Snow’
                                                                               ents, and ordering from your
                                                                               suppliers.

Make sure to use growers that stick to quality and minimum specs, so that you are not ordering material at
a shorter, almost prefinished, size.

Also note that some of the larger sized Aglaonemas now available likely lived through Hurricane Irma. This is
a good thing! They may have been wind-whipped, or sun-scorched, thus requiring the grower to cut them
back to let them regrow. After waiting a bit longer for them to be ready, these cutback plants are fuller than
ever (see, not all bad news!).

Finally, even though we are seeing a wider variety of Aglaonemas available, the supply may not stay con-
stant for each variety in every
size. Preemptively informing
your customers of this will help
them plan for flexibility in ac-
cepting similar plant substitu-
tions in size, variety, or species.

We cannot promise steady
availability of all these varie-
ties, but old-favorites and new
cultivars are available now!

National Indoor Plant Week

                                                   National Indoor Plant Week

                                Annually celebrated the third week in September, National Indoor Plant Week
                                  was established in 2007 to promote and increase public awareness of the
                                                 importance of live plants in interior spaces.

The third week of September may seem like an odd time to be celebrating the amazing qualities and attributes
of the indoor plant. After all, we are closing in on fall. Yet, it is in fact a great time to celebrate! It’s a time
when the temperatures are safe to ship tropical plants anywhere in the United States, from Florida to Alaska,
from California to Maine. In 2007, nationally renowned and award winning plant expert Mark Martin came up
with the idea to create a national holiday for the indoor plant…National Indoor Plant Week! This year’s week-
long celebration is September 17-21, 2018.

This grassroots effort has gained huge momentum during the past ten years. Across the United States and
Canada, many companies and businesses participate in National Indoor Plant Week, with estimates of more
than half a million plants given away to new homes.

Founder of National Indoor Plant Week, Mark Martin is President and owner of Interior Tropical Gardens.
National Indoor Plant Week has become a tireless passion for Mr. Martin, who has taken a lead role in further-
ing this effort internationally due to his deep belief in the amazing power of plants. Martin says, “plants are
truly living green cleaning machines. Every space that we live in must have indoor plants. We have spent so
much time focusing on the outdoors that we have missed the obvious - the four walls we spend our days and
nights in.”

The annual event has become a favorite of the em-
ployees – after all, who doesn’t want to make peo-
ple happy?! It’s also a time
to share with the communi-
ty, to give a little something
back and help people under-
stand that taking care of a
plant may be easier than
they think.

Education and promotion
about the importance of live
plants in interior spaces has
become more important
than ever. Plants are prov-
en to improve indoor air
quality by helping to remove
chemicals such as formalde-
hyde and carbon dioxide.
Plants are the lungs of the
earth: they produce the ox-
ygen that makes life possi-
ble. In situ studies have been
conducted to measure the
direct relationship between

New Book: Plants for Wellbeing
Plants for Wellbeing is a new book from plants@work Ltd attempting to cover the huge body of research that
has taken place into the benefits of plants over the past 30 years. With wellbeing on every company's agenda,
the importance of plants and our need to connect with nature becomes more important by the day. The early
research focused on clean air and hermetically sealed buildings guilty of inducing Sick Building Syndrome (SBS).
The ability of plants to alleviate the symptoms of SBS (headaches, coughs, eye strain) cannot be denied but now
there's an even bigger reason to surround ourselves with plants and nature: our innate need to be in contact
with nature called biophilia. This need can help to explain why plants and more natural surroundings help to
keep us calm, make us happy and improve our productivity. And these are just some of the benefits - the tip of
the iceberg.

Coll Smith, Marketing Manager at plants@work explained, "I've been collating the findings from research about
the benefits of plants for more than 20 years. I'm still amazed by the many different positive ways in which
plants and nature affect our lives. We've put this book together initially for our members to use as a handbook
and we've tried to cover as many areas of the research as possible. Its design, executed by my colleague Joanna
Hargreaves, also shows off many of our members' creative installations in workplaces around the country."
Plants@work could probably go on adding to this book for years to come as more research becomes available
so often.

Plants@work Chair Madeleine Evans of Tivoli Services commented, "We hope Plants for Wellbeing will encour-
age our members to tell their clients about the benefits and for clients to enjoy the benefits of bringing the out-
doors in."

The book is available from your plants@work member supplier.

New Book:

                                                         Smartee Plants is more than just a “how to” manu-

                                                         the maintenance of indoor plants from a profes-
                                                         sional interiorscaper’s perspective. The information
                                                         in Smartee Plants is based on plant physiology,
                                                         concentrating on water consumption and the envi-

                                                         care.

Presenting both the science and the practical application, Goodin goes beyond the average plant guide to
detail irrigation needs in terms of frequency and volume, nutrition, pest control, sanitation and disease
prevention. Whether a professional plant technician or an enthusiastic hobbyist, Smartee Plants will help
you shed the proverbial “Brown Thumb Syndrome” and care for your indoor plants better than ever be-
fore!

About the Author
A native of Brooklyn, New York, Carolyn J. C. Goodin CLP-I Emeritus earned her Master of Science in Horti-
culture from the University of Hawaii School of Tropical Agriculture in 1979 and subsequently opened a
successful plant-rental business in Honolulu, Hawaii, called VSPS, LLC, A Very Specialized Plant Service.
During her thirty year career, she gave numerous classes and talks on plant care, participated in panel dis-
cussions and educational seminars, and wrote columns on interiorscaping for the local industry magazine
and newspapers. She also taught a course called “Plants in Interior Design” at Artisan School of Interior
Design and, later, Chaminade University School of Interior Design.

In 1989 Goodin became the first nationally certified horticulturalist by the National Council for Certifica-
tion of Interior Horticulturalists in the state of Hawaii. She was instrumental in creating a distinction for
interiorscapers within the certifying body of The Associated Landscape Contractors of America, establish-
ing the designation of CLP-I – Certified Landscape Professional-Interior. Now retired, she enjoys her grand-
children, gardening, cooking, and catching up on the books she always wanted to read.

National plants@work Week's Pop-up Office-Library
During the 6th consecutive annual National Plants at Work Week, plants@work Ltd will promote a wellness strategy for
businesses. Building a pop-up green office to illustrate how plants create a perfect setting to encourage creativity,
productivity and a stress-free environment as well as a healthier atmosphere, they will include a library of resources
about plants.

A plant library
The library will include plants@work's new book Plants for Wellbeing which covers 30 years of research into why we
should surround ourselves with plants and the benefits they bring. With workplace and employee wellness on every
business' agenda and with programs in place to help their employees function as well as possible, this offers another
string to their bows.

plants@work Chair Madeleine Evans of Tivoli Services agrees, "Our plant-filled, pop-up office library designed and cre-
ated by plants@work ambassador Ian Drummond of Indoor Garden Design, celebrates the aesthetic beauty of plants
within an indoor space. Featuring our new book Plants for Wellbeing, will also show how plants can add to the calm-
ness of a space and the people in it."

"I’m so happy to see the huge amount of research carried out on the benefits of plants over the last thirty years collect-
ed in this one book. It’s a must-read for all Interior Landscapers and anyone interested in increasing wellbeing and
productivity in the workplace." commented Ian Drummond.

Plants@work hopes that turning a few pages of the book will encourage more businesses to understand how plants are
a necessity to our health, wellbeing and our future.
