Trini: WELCOME BACK TO
"LIVING 808."
SPRING IS HERE.
IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS, THE SPRING
HOME AND GARDEN SHOW WILL TAKE
OVER THE BLAISDELL.
ROD OSHIMA OF DIAMOND HEAD
PLANTS WILL BE THERE.
FIRST HE JOINS US WITH A
PREVIEW.
THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.
THANK YOU.
Trini: THIS SHOW IS REALLY
BIG.
IT'S AN ANNUAL EVENT AT THE
BLAISDELL.
IT'S THREE DAYS, FRIDAY,
SATURDAY, SUNDAY.
Trini: WE'VE GOT EVERYTHING
FOR LANDSCAPING OR THINGS FOR
YOUR HOME.
AND YOU CAN LEARN A LOT ABOUT
PLANTS.
RIGHT.
Trini: OKAY.
YOU'RE GOING TO BE THERE
EDUCATING PEOPLE.
THESE ARE SOME PLANTS THAT
YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE AVAILABLE.
YES.
Trini: TELL US WHAT YOU
HAVE.
FIRST OF ALL, WE HAVE IS CARN
NEVE RUS PLANT.
IT CONTROLS FLYING INSECTS.
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A LOT OF
THESE AVAILABLE.
Trini: TELL US HOW THIS
WORKS.
IF IT PEOPLE HAVE NOT SEEN THESE
BEFORE.
THEY'RE UNUSUAL LOOKING PLANTS.
THESE THINGS HANGING OFF THE
SIDES.
HOW DOES THAT WORK?
THE PLANT PRODUCES A FER
MOAN.
IT PRODUCES FLUIDS, AND IT HAS A
PHERMONE THAT APRAWNSDY ATTRACTS
INSECTS.
THAT'S NOT LIKE WATER.
THAT'S WHY THEY HAVE THIS LITTLE
UMBRELLA TO KEEP WATER OUT.
IT DOESN'T HAVE ANY ODOR.
IT JUST DISSOLVES.
Trini: IT WORKS WELL FOR
MOSQUITOES.
BUT OTHER INSECTS AS WELL.
FLIES GNATS.
ESPECIALLY NOW THERE'S A LOT OF
GNATS.
YOU CAN SEE INSIDE HERE, THE
LITTLE --
Trini: YEAH.
LET'S SHOW IT TO THE CAMERA.
LOOK HOW COOL TH THAT IS.
THAT IS REALLY NEAT.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
YOU'VE GOT IT IN TWO DIFFERENT
POTS HERE SO YOU CAN HAVE A
DIFFERENT LOOK.
RIGHT.
THEY COME IN TWO DIFFERENT
VARIETIES.
THEY REQUIRE THE SAME CARE.
WHICH IS KEEP THEM MOIST.
Trini: I LIKE THAT THEY'RE
A PLANT THAT SERVES A PURPOSE.
WHAT ELSE DO YOU HAVE?
NEXT, WE HAVE SUCCULENT DISH
GARDENS.
PEOPLE HAVE DISH ON THE LANAI.
A LOT OF SUN.
THIS WILL FIT THE BILL.
Trini: IT'S PRETTY.
IT DOESN'T NEED A LOT OF WATER
THE -- BUT IT NEEDS A LOT OF
SUNSHINE.
HOW MUCH WATER DO YOU RECOMMEND?
ONCE A WEEK, WHICH IS MINIMAL
COMPARED TO OTHER PLANTS.
Trini: SURE.
ONCE A WEEK.
Trini: ONCE A WEEK.
THAT IS DOABLE EVEN FOR ME.
AND THEY'RE VERY PRETTY.
THEY'RE PRETTY TO LOOK AT.
YES.
THERE'S VARIETY.
DIFFERENT SHAPES AND COLORS SO
YOU HAVE VARIATION.
Trini: OKAY.
GOOD.
WHAT ELSE DO YOU HAVE HERE?
NEXT, A DESERT ROSE.
THEY FLOWER ALMOST YEAR ROUND.
AGAIN, LIKE THE SUCCULENTS, THEY
GROW IN THE DESERT SO MAYBE ONCE
A WHEEL -- WEEK WATERING BUT
FULL SUN.
Trini: AND THESE I LOVE.
THIS IS BEAUTIFUL TO LOOK AT.
THEY'RE ARTSY.
YES.
THEY'RE AIR PLANTS.
THESE REQUIRE ONE A WEEK
SPIRITING WITH WATER.
THEY'RE VERY LOW MAINTENANCE.
THERE'S VARIATIONS IN COLORS AND
FORMS ALSO.
IT'S VERY ARGUMENTSY.
-- ARTSY. Trini: AND ALL THE PLANTS
THEY DON'T NEED A LOT OF WATER.
NOT A LOT OF MAINTENANCE.
IT'S LIKE YOU'RE DOING THIS FOR
ME.
[LAUGHTER]
AND FINALLY WHAT DO WE HAVE?
THESE ARE BONSAI.
MINIATURIZATION OF A LARGE PLANT
OR TREE.
THESE IN PARTICULAR ARE VERY
STRONG AND RESILIENT.
LOW MAINTENANCE AND LOW CARE.
Trini: TERRIFIC THIS IS AN
EXAMPLE OF WHAT YOU CAN FIND AT
THE SPRING HOME AND GARDEN SHOW.
