<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">When
is a living indoor plant more than a beautiful accent for home or office? The answer is “nearly always” if you consider
the health benefits of having live plants in your space. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">According
to Kifumi Keppler, owner and founder of Exotic Plants, “Research shows that the
benefits of living plants in our home and workplace help us live healthier and
even happier lives. If you’ve noticed
that you feel better around your plants, there are plenty of studies that back
you up.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Here
are five health benefits of plants that may help you decide to add more green
to your indoor environment. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Plants

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">1.
Improve air quality.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Research
by NASA has shown that plants improve air quality by removing certain chemicals
from the air in enclosed spaces. These
chemicals, including compounds like <span style="background: white; color: #222222;">benzene,
formaldehyde and ammonia<span class="apple-converted-space">, have been linked to
physical complaints such as headaches, eye irritation and more.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">2.
Help you breathe better.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">In
the process of photosynthesis, plants absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen. Since we breathe in oxygen, people and plants
make good partners. At night, most
plants stop photosynthesis and release carbon dioxide. However a few plants </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">like orchids, succulents and certain others, do
just the opposite, releasing oxygen at night time, making them a great choice
for the bedroom.</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">3.
Reduce stress.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">A
study conducted in Australia found that plants in the work environment can
reduce stress. Their research found
reductions in anxiety, depression, anger and hostility, all of which can
negatively affect one’s health.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">4.
Improve health.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Norwegian
and Dutch research discovered that adding plants to the workplace can reduce the
incidence of physical ills such as fatigue, colds, headaches, coughs, sore
throats and flu-like symptoms. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">5.
Speed recovery for surgical patients.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">A
Kansas State University study compared the recovery rate of patients in rooms
with and without plants. Those in rooms
with plants requested less pain medication and were released from the hospital
sooner than those patients without the plants.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Of
course, not every plant may be the right fit for you. Some are toxic if eaten and so should be
avoided in homes with children and pets.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">As Kifumi says the value of plants goes far beyond the
aesthetic value. “Plants add a natural and spiritual aspect to our lives. There’s
a symbiotic relationship between people and plants. They give us so much—food, oxygen, energy, medicinal
remedies and more. Nature is our connection to the earth, and keeping live
plants in the house and office reminds us of this.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">If
you have questions or think you don’t have a green thumb, Kifumi invites you to
call or visit Exotic Plants.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">She says

What your plants would like you to know now that Spring is here</div>
<br />
Shouldn’t your indoor plants automatically thrive now that it’s springtime? After all, the weather is warmer, there’s more sunshine and everything outside is starting to bud and grow. Not necessarily.<br />
<br />
Here are 3 things you should be doing for your plants now:<br />
<br />
1. Start fertilizing. During the colder, darker weather, plants usually don’t grow fast but that’s changed now that Spring is here. Give them the nutrients they need for healthy growth with a good, natural fertilizer. We use Age Old Kelp which is a natural solution that provides a fast acting source of major nutrients.<br />
<br />
2. Check your plant’s soil for moisture. Additional warmth and light mean your plants are drinking more. So check them more often and water as needed.<br />
<br />
3. Examine your plants for pests. They can be a problem at this time of year, especially if you have windows and doors open. Look your plants over on a regular basis to ensure they don’t have uninvited “guests.” If they do, a solution of Neem oil applied according to directions usually handles them.<br />
<br />

Here's a simple way to add an accent to your terrarium. Layer different color sand or gravel in the bottom of the container. After you put in the bottom few layers, add the plants. Then add a few more layers to cover the dirt and roots. Next push a pencil or chopstick into the sand so that the colors form a design. Add any other items you'd like.<br />
<br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px;">Luckily, it's not too late for this plant. Cut off the affected stem & leaves with a sterilized scissors & reduce watering.</span><br />

<br style="color: white;" /><div style="color: #666666;">
Wood: Choose a piece of wood or a branch with one flat side that will look good with the plant you want to mount.</div>
<div style="color: #666666;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #666666;">
Plant suitable for mounting such as a staghorn fern, an orchid with thinner roots, a bromeliad or a bird's nest fern.</div>
<div style="color: #666666;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #666666;">
Sphagnum moss that has been soaked in water, twine or wire, screws, sheet moss, nylon fishing line.</div>
<br style="color: white;" /><div style="color: #6ac500;">
<strong>Instructions:</strong></div>
<br style="color: white;" /><div style="color: #666666;">
1) Drill 2 screws on the front side of the wood. (See photo above for general location.) They will serve as anchors when you later tie the plant onto the wood.</div>

<b>FREE Vivarium Workshop!</b><br />
<b>Saturday, August 15th</b><br />
<br />
Learn how to build a tropical, living vivarium for your reptilian or amphibian pet!<br />
<br />
In this workshop, we’ll show you how to:<br />
<br />
* Create a sustainable ecosystem that can last for years<br />
* Make a natural, healthy environment<br />
* Set up a tropical, attractive home for your pet<br />
<br />
The workshop is given by our plant technician Amber Wushke, a reptile enthusiast, who says vivariums are “living art.” <br />
<br />
Amber has built three vivariums for her geckos, none of which have needed to be taken apart or re-built. Her oldest vivarium has been active for more than a year and a half. <br />
<br />
The workshop is held on the Exotic Plants showroom premises where you can see a stunning array of unique orchids and other plants you won't find anywhere else.<br />

<br /></div>
<div align="left" style="background-color: white; color: #618c05; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18.6666660308838px;">
There are good reasons why Dracaenas are so popular & it's not just because they're so attractive.</div>
<div align="center" style="background-color: white; color: #618c05; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18.6666660308838px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #618c05; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18.6666660308838px;">
1) Dracaenas are slow growers. There's no need to worry if the plant is going to out-grow its space too soon.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #618c05; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18.6666660308838px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #618c05; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18.6666660308838px;">
2) They require less water than many other plants. If you travel a lot, a Dracaena may be a good choice for you.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #618c05; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18.6666660308838px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #618c05; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18.6666660308838px;">
3) These beauties tend to grow upwards rather than wide so they fit in locations where other plants may not.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #618c05; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18.6666660308838px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #618c05; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18.6666660308838px;">
4) Dracaenas can grow indefinitely. If they become taller than you want, you can cut them back and they'll branch out.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #618c05; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18.6666660308838px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #618c05; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18.6666660308838px;">
5) Dracaenas with darker green leaves and the popular "corn plant" can tolerate lower light than others.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #618c05; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18.6666660308838px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #618c05; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18.6666660308838px;">
There are over 40 varieties of Dracaena! </div>

Do you love palms? Here are some facts that you may not know about them.<br />
<br />
1) Although many people think palms always look like the type that grows along white sandy beaches, there are actually many varieties. Here are a few.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This is a Kentia Palm. You're probably familiar with their graceful fronds.<br />

A Raphis Palm, also known as a Lady Palm, is very hearty and, over time, gets massive.<br />
<br />

<br />
Fish Tail Palms are named for their fish-tailed leaves.<br />

<br />
A Pony Tail Palm is not really a palm but a succulent.<br />
<br />
2) Palms are slow growing but do fan out over time. This makes them a great choice for large open spaces. <br />
<br />
3) They do well in bright to medium light. They don't need direct sunlight but prefer bright, indirect light.<br />
<br />
4) Although many palms like to dry out between watering, that's not true of all. Fishtail and Raphis palms prefer moist to wet soil when grown in good light. In lower light conditions, the surface two inches or lower should be dry before watering.<br />

Are your indoor plants doing as well as you'd like? The reason could be listed below. According to our plant experts, there are 3 mistakes that will result in your plant doing poorly or even dying.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #a64d79;">1) Too much water.</span></b><br />
<br />
The temptation may be strong but don't give in! Overwatering is the most common cause of indoor plants dying. <br />
<br />
Most plants prefer their soil to dry out to a depth of 2 inches between waterings. Of course, this is general and some plants need more or less water. If in doubt, ask a sales person where you purchased the plant.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b><span style="color: #a64d79;">2) Not enough light.</span></b><br />
<br />
Make sure the plant is getting enough light. Plants that are blooming or have colored foliage generally need more light.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #a64d79;">3) Too big a container.</span></b><br />
<br />
Indoor plants actually like to be somewhat cramped in their pots. When it's too big, there's so much soil that it holds the water like a sponge and the plant rots. This is different from plants growing in the ground outside where the water can evaporate or seep into the surrounding area. If you do need to re-pot, choose a container that's only one size up from your present container.<br />
