Ornamental flowers and Type
Ornamental flowers are generally divided into five types. This is to facilitate the fan interest in choosing the types of flowers that will be purchased. Ornamental flower types also allows us to determine the appropriate interest rate component for the assembled. Beautiful flower arrangements and have a perfect composition able to look pretty and gives a magnificent effect for anyone who enjoyed it.
1. Standard or a single flower. Each flower has only flowers. For example: Rose and Gerbera.
2. Head or the head (head shape). This is similar to the standard form, the tip of the stem consists of some bud that resembles a flower bud. For example: Lily purple (Agaphantus)
3. Spray, each stem has several branches that stem berbuga. Aster and lisianthus are examples of this type.
4. Spike, the long-stemmed flowers that hardly stemmed flowerets and place in rows on one side or around the stem length. For example: Gladioulus, Sedapa Night, Snapdragon.
5. Umbrella, namely the end of the flower stalks have several-stemmed florets. Bud was spread to all directions and form a flat surface. Examples are fennel flowers.
Rose and Carnation Flowers can be obtained in two types, namely the standard type (single flower) and the type of spray. Specific types of spray, generally smaller flowers and available in limited colors.
Sansevieria, absorbing plant toxins
Beautiful plants and unsightly eye precisely in its natural habitat is tropical dry (hot desert climate and barren mountains), has the advantage that is rarely found in other plants. Sansevieria have a common characteristic of storing water in all parts of the body in large amounts, has a rhizome, leaf thickness, and tip of a pointed or prickly leaves. By the researcher often called the Pilot plant (Old Century plant), which is an ancient plant able to survive when the plants from other families can not survive within a very barren, or against the relatively extreme temperature changes
Chinese people see beauty Sansevieria of fragrant flowers that smelled so called by Mr Ian, sweet mei lan, ylang ylang, and jasmine.
Chinese people have 8 good looking Sansevieria plants;
1.Kesuburan (does not require special growing media),
2.Panjang age (resistant to extreme conditions as well as anti-pollutant),
3.Kecerdasan (could mutation of form and color),
4.Seni (can dibonsai and in the grouping),
5.Yin-Yang (......),
6.Kecantikan (having unique shapes and colors and some even can reflect light),
7.Kekuatan (the vertical growth of the ground or in pots), as well as
8.Kemakmuran (Undertaking lambing either from rhizomes or leaf cuttings, even a child is able to penetrate the soil and pot).
It is said that the results of research conducted by the United States Space Agency (NASA) show that 107 species Sanseiveira capable of absorbing hazardous substances. Other research concludes that for an area of 100 m3 room enough adults placed Sansevieria Lorentii leafy five strands so that the room is free of pollutants.
Specific characteristics which are rarely found in other plants, diiantaranya able to live in this temperature range and a broad light, highly resistant to harmful air gases (pollutants), even in areas capable of absorbing so berlalulintas solid and in a room filled with smoke nicotine is used as antipolutan (air freshener). While in Africa the sap is used as an antitoxin Sansevieria snakes and insects.
Another fact about the Sansevieria is:
1. Sanse remove oxygen and able to absorb the smell / pollution of the surrounding 24 hours continuously.
2. Besides its use for plant open dilahan Outdoors, can also be grown indoor because it can survive long enough without sunlight.
3. Sansevieria species more definite name because his gift comes from researchers.
4. Protected by the International Organization for agencies in their own habitat sanseiviera already threatened with extinction.
5. Until recently acclaimed ornamental plants / have a formal organization that is Bonsai, Orchids & Sansevieria (Sansevieria Sociaty International)
6. Can shape and color mutations
7. Scarcity of some types of Sansevieria is a challenge for the Hobis to chase the deer and have it so that the issue price duakan dinomor
leather waste corn in magic became ornamental plants
There was a woman in Malang, East Java, skin turn corn into a variety of ornamental flowers. Weni At home, the craftsman, in Gondang Legi, Malang, there are dozens of colorful species of ornamental flowers. There are several types of replicas of tropical flowers like roses, jasmine, dahlias, lily, tulip sun to living in the Netherlands.
Overview of ornamental plants is very similar to the original. Though ornamental flowers are made from leather waste corn. Membuatnyapun way too easy, the skin dry corn boiled in colored liquid. After the dried corn leather printed with various motifs of leaves and flowers. Having assembled this cornhusk changed into quite a beautiful flower. Previously unimaginable if the artwork is derived from the garbage as we deem useless.
Sales turnover of the business that started this hobby continues to grow until it reaches USD 50 million per month. The high turnover of sales was fueled huge demand from overseas markets. So do not underestimate the garbage that is around us, especially when you have an idea to use it as a medium for creativity.
Anthurium, a plant high-value
Anthurium Care
Anthurium relatively easily cultivated. Have a high selling value, and great potential for trade. Anthurium can be developed throughout the year. Can be cultured in the room with the temperature and conditions.
To grow a good view, anthurium requires temperatures of around 25-32 degrees Celsius in the daytime, and 21-24 degrees Celsius at night.
When the temperature is above 32 degrees Celsius, can cause burning of leaves and branches, pale, and if the less fortunate plants will die.
The cold night air (40-10 degrees Celsius), will cause slow-growing and the emergence of yellow spots on leaves. This plant is not suitable in very cold temperatures / freezing.
Pot
Anthurium require growing media and watering enough. Planting media must contain the manure and the roots of ferns. The young plants do not need much water, but should be sufficiently moist. Pot size must also be appropriate, so that plant growth is not hampered.
Water
Before the drought anthurium roots around the roots, plants should be watered again. Because if the roots are too dry will cause the leaves turn yellow and pale.
Light / Radiation
Anthurium indoor should get enough sunlight. But do not be taxable in langsung.Kekurangan ray of sunlight will mentebabkan plant growth slows. These plants require a moist habitat. When the sun hit directly, so as not to burn you can use paranet 60%.
Fertilization
Fertilization is a keyword for the hope of anthurium grown rapidly in a short wkatu. You can use solid Dekastar large number of suitable plants / many roots. Can you give a dose once in five months. And to remember is, fertilizing should be balanced enough radiation.
Pests and Diseases
Pests and diseases can interfere with plant growth. Which can be found among butterflies, grasshoppers, and caterpillars. The common pests that eat the young leaves begin to grow. Sometimes just a hole, but sometimes leaves eaten until exhausted.
The best method by eliminating remedy these constraints is to oversee the plant well. Discard caterpillar, butterfly, or grasshopper attached leaves before consuming. Soap insects may be used to drive small insects, but for grasshoppers and caterpillars, it takes a stronger insecticide.
Steps can be taken to prevent this is to periodically spray water on the leaves.
Congratulations to plant anthurium.

ANTHURIUM PLANT CARE INSTRUKSI
ANTHURIUM CARE
Anthuriums relatif mudah tumbuh, memiliki dedaunan menarik dan dibawah lingkungan yang tepat, menghasilkan bunga tahan lama sepanjang tahun. Komersial, panci Anthuriums jenis ditanam di seluruh dunia dengan konsentrasi terbesar di Amerika Serikat (Florida) dan Belanda. Mereka tahan lama dan akan bertahan sebagai tanaman dalam ruangan dedaunan untuk jangka waktu yang luar biasa, bahkan di bawah conditions.Anthuriums merugikan tumbuh terbaik dengan suhu hari 78-90 F, dan malam suhu 70-75 F. Suhu di atas 90 F dapat menyebabkan daun terbakar, warna bunga memudar, dan kehidupan bunga dikurangi. Malam suhu antara 40-50 F dapat mengakibatkan pertumbuhan yang lambat dan permukaan bawah daun menguning. Anthuriums tidak akan mentolerir embun beku atau kondisi beku.
Pot
Anthuriums lebih menyukai media tanam yang kasar dan dikeringkan dengan baik. Media pot harus memiliki dasar gambut dengan rasio 01:01:01 lumut gambut, kulit pohon pinus dan perlit. Tanaman youong ketika mereka harus ditanam dalam campuran yang tidak terlalu kasar, untuk mempertahankan kelembaban. tanah harus diselesaikan dengan tegas di sekitar akar dan sistem root harus mengisi pot tanaman sebelum melangkah sampai dengan ukuran pot yang lebih besar.
Pengairan
Sementara Anthuriums mampu menangani kekeringan di sekitar akar bola, mereka harus disiram secara menyeluruh dan dibiarkan kering sebelum penyiraman sedikit lagi. Membiarkan tanaman mengering akan sangat memperlambat siklus pertumbuhan. Kering juga dapat menyebabkan ujung untuk membakar dan akar kerusakan, sedangkan penyiraman di atas juga dapat menyebabkan kerusakan akar dan daun menguning tiba-tiba.
TERANG
Anthuriums sebagai aturan (dalam ruangan) akan memakan waktu sekitar cahaya sebanyak yang Anda bisa memberi mereka-tapi tidak terkena sinar matahari langsung. tingkat cahaya rendah akan memperlambat atau menghentikan produksi bunga. Spesies jenis dedaunan akan mentolerir tingkat cahaya rendah saat mereka tumbuh di beberapa daerah shasiest di habitat alami mereka. Daun yang muncul di bawah sinar yang lebih rendah dapat meregangkan dan / atau menjadi terdistorsi.
FERTILIZERA
cepat kata pada gizi. Sebagian besar petani menggunakan pupuk slow release waktu pada tanaman mereka. Pemupukan sebaiknya tidak menjadi masalah untuk beberapa bulan. Jika Anda akan memupuk, menggunakan solusi cahaya rasio 03:01:02 dan barangkali terbaik untuk mencairkan ke 1 / 4 kekuatan.
PEST DAN PENYAKIT
Anthuriums yang rentan terhadap hama biasa yang kunjungi tanaman indoor, seperti kutu daun, timbangan, mealybugs dan thrips. Thrips dan "mulut manis" ditemukan lebih pada pertumbuhan baru. Anda juga dapat menemukan afid makan pada kuncup bunga. Timbangan tampaknya sangat menyukai jenis sarang burung tangguh. Metode terbaik untuk mengendalikan serangga adalah untuk memantau tanaman Anda dan memperlakukan mereka sebelum mereka keluar dari tangan. Ada beberapa "sabun insektisida" yang bekerja dengan baik pada serangga lunak, namun skala mungkin memerlukan insektisida kuat. Di bawah tungau laba-laba kondisi kelembaban rendah mungkin muncul. Salah satu cara terbaik untuk menjauhi penggunaan bahan kimia adalah dengan menyeka periodik dedaunan dan lembut sparay air. Pastikan untuk tidak melupakan masalah penyakit terbesar undersides.The bahwa Anda akan menghadapi RHIZOCTINIA dalam ruangan tertutup. Hal ini disebabkan oleh suhu tinggi dan kelembaban digabungkan dengan tanah yang buruk dikeringkan. Jangan di atas air dan jika Anda harus menanam kembali, menggunakan tanah juga dikeringkan, untuk itu akan menjadi pertahanan terbaik Anda. Kimia, RHIZOCTINIA dapat dikontrol dengan berbagai fungisida. Pendekatan terbaik adalah pencegahan melalui praktek-praktek budaya
Dahlia Flower Cultivation
Dahlia is an ornamental flowering plant in the form of an erect annual plant. This herb comes from the mountains of Mexico. Dahlia including ornamental plants cultivated late. In Europe farming began in 1789, from the Royal Botanical Garden in Madrid, Spain and spread throughout Western Europe. Although progress is very slow, in the year 1841 there were already 1200 varieties. Dahlia imported to the West Java from the Netherlands in the colonial period to the 19th century.
Currently dahlias be cut flower commodity / flower pot that is important in many parts of the world. Abroad, this interest has thus formed a prospective observer groups such as flower dahlia Dahlia Society of India, the National Dahlia Society of the United Kingdom and the American Dahlia Society.
PLANT SPECIES
Dahlia plant botanical classification is as follows: Divisions: spermatophytes
Sub Division: Angiospermae
Class: Dicotyledonae
Family: Compositae
Genus: Dahlia
Species: Dahlia spp. L.
Cultivated plants of Dahlia Dahlia tree can reach a few feet and a bushy plants (woody plants but still low). Dahlia flower colors: white, yellow, orange, violet, red, purple or other substances. The smallest flower diameter of about 5 cm while the largest of about 30 cm. Dahlia species existing today is D. pinnata, D variabilis, D. Coccine, D. juarezii.
. BENEFITS OF PLANTS
Cactus dahlia flowers that are white are always traded as a kind of flower that is widely used for flower arranging grief. Another type of rich color Dahlia (dahlia dahlia large and small) in the polybag sold for use as a plant outside the home.
Dahlia is berubi plants. Sweet dahlias contain nearly 70 percent starch in the form of inulin. Pure inulin extracted from dahlia tuber is used in the medical field. When inulin is fermented by certain enzymes or by a soil fungus, inulin is changed to fructose, a sugar that is widely used in food preservation or creation of a syrup. Therefore, the utilization of inulin from dahlia through bioconversion into sugar fructose.
INVESTMENT CENTER
In Indonesia, for commercial purposes, dahlias are cultivated in the highlands of Lembang and Cianjur (West Java).

2) The acidity of the soil is good for plant growth is between pH = 6.0 to 8.0.
5.3. Altitude Venue
Plants can grow well on high ground with optimum altitude 700-1000 m above sea level.
6. CULTURE GUIDELINES
6.1. Seeding
1) Seeds Seeding Techniques
a) Propagation by seed generative
Performed on the mini to get the color dahlia flowers new and more varied. Seeds come from plants healthy dahlias 5 months old. Direct seed sowing in the nursery that had been prepared. Nursery beds were made on the ground with a width of 1 m and length depend on large areas with a north-south direction. Beds are made from a mixture of humus, cow manure and good soil denganperbandingan 1:1:1. 5 cm high bed. Seed is spread evenly over the bed and covered with a thin layer of soil. In the dry season bed covered with banana leaves that have been washed or clean jute sacks to bed awake humidity. Beds needed to be done in the shade when the seedbed of the rainy season. Shading of transparent plastic 80 cm in height and 60 cm sisit east on the west side. After the seeds germinate and leafy two piece, the cover (banana leaf / sack) is opened. Seedlings maintained until the leafy perfect dipersemaian 2 fruit, root crops at this stage have not touched the bottom of the bed and dipindahtanamkan 18x15 cm transparent polybags containing a mixture of husk and cow manure (6:1). After six strands of leafy plants, carried into the second pindahtanam 30x20 cm transparent polybags containing the same media. Inside the polybag is maintained until flowering plants during the 1.5 to 2 months and is ready for sale.
b) Vegetative Propagation by cuttings conducted at a mini dahlias to earn interest with the same color and danbentuk for large dahlias that can not be seeded. Stekdiambil material from an axillary bud size 70-10 cm. To avoid disease, use a cutting knife / sharp clean knife to cut the shoot. Seeding was conducted in a transparent 30x20 cm polybags containing a mixture of rice husks and manure (6:1) and maintained until ready to sell without dipindahtanam for three days.
c) vegetative propagation of cassava
Performed on a cactus and semi-cactus dahlia. Sweet potatoes were taken from plants aged 7 months. To get the sweet, stems of plants that have finished their first flowering cut to 10 cm from soil surface. Soil excavated and removed along with a sweet main stem.
2) Maintenance Seeding
a) Plants in Nursery
During the nursery plants watered once a day and were not given fertilizer because there's enough food obtained from the beds. Weed weeding should be done with very careful not to damage the still fragile seedlings.
b) in the polybag plants
1-2 plants watered every other day (morning-afternoon) except when it rained. Weeds often grow, if there is weeded revoked or taken by a small hoe premises To prevent pests / diseases, plants sprayed with pesticides Antracol / Basudin two weeks at the turn of kemarauhujan season and rainy season. Gandasil foliar fertilizer NPK and 1 gram given once a week.
6.2. Media Processing Plant
1) Investment in polybags (mini dahlias and dahlia large)
a) Media planting of rice husks and manure (6:1) is mixed evenly.
b) Insert the media into the poly bag 30 x 20 cm to fill 90 percent of the volume.
c) Make a hole in the middle of planting medium, add 1 gram of NPK fertilizer.
d) Enter polybag seedlings from small and medium padatkan around the stem. Watered until moist.
e) Furthermore, given the plant as much as 1 gram of NPK fertilizer every two weeks. Spraying with pesticides and Basudin Antracol do if the visible symptoms of disease.
f) trimming the leaves need to be done so that the interest of good quality. flower thinning aims to earn interest with a maximum size. Flower thinning criteria are:
1. In each of the lateral shoots are only counted up to six flowers to plant the book into three mini Dahlia.
2. In each of the main shoot and lateral shoots consisted of only three to plant Dahlia flowers are great.
2) Establishment bedengan
Beds are made with a width of 70 cm, height 15 cm and a length in accordance with the conditions of land and 55 cm spacing between beds. After the bed is formed, treated soil as deep as 45 cm several times with a hoe. Add as thick as 15 cm of manure (10-15 tonnes / ha) and mixed with 45 cm soil beds. Puree the soil bed to a depth of 15 cm. Trim back to bed.
6.3. Planting Technique
1) Planting Hole Preparation
Planting holes are made deep 20 x 20 x 20 cm at 65-75 cm spacing.
2) How Sweet Investment
Sweet laid flat on the bottom of the hole and cover with soil as thick as 5 cm. From shoots that grow only one or two that are left continue to grow.
6.4. Maintenance of Plant Spacing and stitching
To obtain uniform growth can be done until three weeks after planting. Usually the seeds do not grow perfectly if irrigating late done especially if the hot air. Thinning of interest needs to be done especially if the number of flowers in a stalk too many flowers in order to reach a maximum diameter. In cactus dahlia (white), only one flower on a stalk is left alive, while in the semi-cactus dahlias can be 5-6 flowers.
Weeding
Conducted in accordance with the growth of weeds and fertilization during pembumbunan nd. Prevention of weed growth can be done with the spread organic mulch between plants. When the plants reach 1 m, plants dibumbun and supported by two bamboo sticks in order not to fall.
Fertilization
Done every 10 days with urea, SP-36 and KCl each 2 grams or 5 grams of NPK. Giving the first 10 days after transplanting. Fertilizer given in the bolt as far as 15 cm from the base of the stem. Cover with soil fertilizer.
Irrigation and Watering
Conducted in accordance plant growth. At the beginning of its growth, the soil around the base of the stem to the point of the outer headers should not be dry. At that time, if necessary plants watered 2-3 times a day depending on weather conditions. After that, watering can be done every five days. Watering is necessary after fertilization.
7. Pests and diseases
7.1. Pest
a)
Silkworm ground (Agrotis ypsilon Hufn.)
Symptoms: caterpillars attacking cassava plants and stems. Silkworm crop growing point or base of the stem or petiole of plants that collapsed and withered stems mainly in the daytime.
Control: performed by killing the caterpillar along with pembubunan and weeding weeds, giving Furadan though not always effective and spraying insecticides or the 3G Indofuran Hostathion.

6. CULTURE GUIDELINES
6.1. Seed Breeding Requirements
In order for seeds to grow well, select healthy seeds by entering into the water (which both will drown, which floats discarded).
Seed Preparation
Preparation stages of seed plants from seed:
a) The selection of fruit - Choose fruit rose from the parent plants which have flowered and the kind of superior productive as you wish.
- Pick fruit that is ripe selected roses (cooked) in a tree.
b) Treatment After ripening - Prepare media in the form of seeding berhumus and sandy soil (1:1).
- Enter the (fill in) the media into the tub seedbed or container that is practical and feasible to use for the seedling.
- Flush with clean water seeding media until quite wet (humid).
- Embed the fruit of roses one by one into the media were buried deep enough seedlings to 0.5 to 1.0 cm.
- Allow the roses to fruit rot on the outer skin of the humid conditions of the media, beraerasi good, and the air temperature around 5 degrees C. Time needed to ripening After treatment ranged from 50-270 days (depending on the type of rose).
Seeds Seeding Techniques
a) Take the (lift) rose seeds from fruits that have been rotting in the seedling media.
b) Select the seeds of good roses, are pithy who drowned when put into water
c) Rinse with clean water rose seeds.
d) Drain the seeds of selected roses quiet place to be planted in nursery tanks.
e) Semaikan roses seed evenly according to the distance between rows and rows 50-10 cm. Seeds will germinate at the age of four weeks after sowing.
Maintenance Seeding / Seeding
a) Pour the rose nursery media continuously 1-2 times a day.
b) Wean (perjarang) seedlings are big enough roses in a small poly bag is already filled with a mixture of soil, sand and organic manure (1:1:1).
Seed removal
Move the seedlings planted roses that have been aged 22 months to the gardens / planting place fixed (permanent).
6.2. Media Processing Plant
Place planting roses can be done in the garden area, garden and in pots. Procedures for preparing land for somewhat different from the rose garden in pots / poly bags. Preparation
a) Preparation of land garden / park - Land to the garden / park land selected roses loose, fertile and receive direct sunlight (open).
- Clean the location of the garden from a wild grass / gravel.
b) Preparation of the media in a pot - your destination growing media in the form of fertile soil, organic fertilizer (manure, compost, TW Super Plus) and sand. Mixed media composition soil, manure, compost and sand, 1:1:1. Soil mixture with 6:1 ratio of Super Plus TW.
- Provide a pot that size is adjusted with the size of the rose plant. The best pots are pots made of soil material and not painted.
- Prepare other supporting materials such as brick or tile fragments or charcoal. These materials can function as a sucker of excess water (drainage) and facilitate any transfer of plants into pots or planting a new place.
c) Filling the planting media into the pot - pot holes Association for the excess water.
- Dampen a pot with enough water to wet.
- Fill in the fractions of red bricks / tiles / charcoal at the base of ± 1 cm-thick pot until the third part of the pot, the water drainage hole in the bottom of the pot should not clogged.
- Load the litter (humus) ± 1cm thick evenly over the layer of red bricks / tiles.
- Fill in the growing media mixture of soil, sand and manure / compost (1:1:1) or a mixture of soil with organic fertilizer TW Super Plus (6:1) plus a little ash kitchen. Charging the media until 90% full, or 0.5 to 1.0 cm below the upper limit of the pot surface. Pots ready for planting seeds (plants) of roses.
Land Opening
a) Land hoe / ± 30 cm deep plowed until crumbly.
b) Allow the soil for 15-30 days dikeringanginkan to mature and free from toxic gases.
Formation bedengan
Create a bed-size bed with a width of 100-120 cm, height 30 cm, 30-40 cm spacing between beds, and length depending on state land. When the rose garden will be designed asymmetrically, then the preparation of land made bentukbentuk desired, for example circular (round) or guludan-guludan which is compatible with the surrounding environment.
Fertilization
Organic fertilizer (manure / compost) 20-30 tons / hectare or Super Plus TW 4-5 tons / ha allotted evenly distributed and mixed with the soil, adjusting the land (bed). Organic fertilizer with the inserted (loaded) into the planting hole average of 1-2 kg / plant.
6.3. Planting Technique Determination of Planting Pattern
Make the planting hole at a distance of 60 × 60 cm or 70 × 70 cm, depending on the type of roses and the soil fertility.
Planting Hole Preparation
To create a curved hole in order to obtain the necessary spade-shaped cylindrical hole. Hole size 45 × 45 × 45 cm. The depth of the well that is when the plant is placed in the hole, the position of the main branch (bud union) is located parallel to the ground surface. Root roses can not penetrate the soil too deeply, it is not necessary to dig the soil too deeply, just 45-55 cm.
At the time of making the hole in the surface soil (top soil), sub-soil is collected separately, it will be used to cover the hole again. When the area was covered with grass, should be taken in the form of slabs and placed in the shade, for use as fertilizer, to enter it into the hole. Plate is placed upside-down grass. Top soil mixed with organic materials (such as compost, green manure, animal manure and so forth) the comparison of four parts soil and one part organic material. Ditimbuni hole sub-soil mixed with organic material (in total more than the mix for the top soil) and super phosphate (can also use bone meal) 20%. The number of super phosphate 1,5-2 singk per 10 m2 of land, 1.5 to 3 kg of bone meal per 10 m2. Hole filled with top soil and organic material to form a mound.
Investment mode
When planting roses are at the beginning of the rainy season (when the state of water is adequate can be done throughout the season / year. Crops are planted roses in the form of seeds cabutan (without soil), and seedlings from polybags.
How to planting roses cabutan:
a) Unloading of rose seedlings from nurseries in cabutan.
b) Cut some stems and branches, leaving 20-25 cm in order to plant a shrub habitus (short).
c) Cut some of the roots with sharp pruning shears and sterile.
d) Soak seeds in water or in solution of the rose plant growth regulator (growth hormone) as Dekamon 1-2 cc / liter for 15-30 minutes.
e) Planting seeds of roses in the middle of the planting hole and spread roots arranged in all directions. Fill (embankment) with the soil to limit stem base of the neck.
f) Padatkan soil around the plant stem roses slowly so akarakarnya can direct contact with ground water.
g) Flush the soil around the roots of plants until wet.
h) Place the temporary shelter of woven bamboo or other materials to protect the plants from the scorching sun rose in the afternoon.
Planting seeds of roses from different polybag cabutan planting roses. Rose seedlings from polybags dipindahtanamkan completely with soil and roots. Procedures for planting roses from the polybags are as follows:
a) Pour media in polybags containing the seeds of roses until quite wet.
b) Remove the polybag and then reverse the position with a bend-bend to the bottom of rose seedlings with soil and roots were removed (out) from the polybag. When a large poly bag, then spending rose seeds can tear or cut through the poly bag.
c) Embed rose seedlings into the planting hole that has been prepared in advance. Location of rose seeds right in the middle of the planting hole, then embankment with compacted soil to the brim as he slowly
d) Flush the soil around plant roots rose up quite wet. Seeds Direct roses will be fresh and grown without withering or break through first.
6.4. Plant Maintenance Weeding
Weeding activities usually in conjunction with fertilization in order to save costs and labor. Wild grass that grows in the ditch / moat between the beds cleaned in order not to become a den of pests and diseases.
Weeding once a month (depending on the growth of weeds), by removing the weeds (weeds) carefully so as not to damage the roots of plants or cleaning with tools kored / hoe.
Fertilization
The type and dose (dosage) of fertilizer is recommended to plant roses of NPK (5-10-5) as much as 5 grams / plant. When fertilized NPK slow shoot growth at the ratio 10:10:5, when the stalk is weak NPK ratio of 5:15:5.
The type and dose of other fertilizers are composed of a mixture of fertilizers: 90-135 kg N plus 400 kg plus 120 kg P2O5 K2O/ha/tahun or equivalent to 200-300 kg plus 840 kg Urea TSP KCL plus 250 kg / ha / year. Based on the results of Horticulture Research Institute (Balitro), a plant cultivated roses need five grams of NPK / tree at planting time or 7-15 days after planting.
Subsequent fertilization continuously once every 3-4 months, depending on the state of plant growth. Dose and type of fertilizer that is recommended is a mixture of nitrogen fertilizer N plus 600 kg 1000 kg P2O5 Phosphate Potassium plus 400 kg K2O/ha/tahun or equivalent to ± 1 350 kg of urea plus TSP KCL 2100 kg plus 800 kg / ha / year. Each time the fertilizer is given 1 / 4 - 1 / 3 dose of 337.5 to 450 kg of urea fertilizer added 525-700 kg of TSP added 100-133 kg of KCl per hectare. Fertilizer should be at the time before flowering, flowering, and after the flowers wither. Ways of fertilizer with the sows in small and shallow paritparit between rows of crops or plants around the canopy, then covered with thin soil and watered immediately until quite wet.
Irrigation and Watering
Irrigation and watering done:
a) In the early phase of growth (around age 1-2 months after planting), carried out continuously every day 1-2 times. The next irrigation was gradually reduced, or depending on the weather and soil type (medium).
b) When a good supply of water in the morning and evening, when the air temperature and water evaporation from the soil is not too high.
c) The method of irrigation is by watering evenly using a tool emrat (yells).

8. P A N E N
8.1. Flowering Plant traits and Age
The characteristics of roses ready to be picked (harvested) for the purpose as a cut flower: flower flowers full bloom and not a normal size. For the purpose of defloration sow flowers on stage after full bloom.
The ideal harvest time is morning or late afternoon (when the air temperature and evaporation of water is not too high). In several centers of cut flower producers do the plucking roses at night.
8.2. How To Picking Flowers
How to harvest roses is to cut the flower stalk at the bottom (base) or is included with several leaf stalks. Cutting tools roses can be a knife or scissors to cut sharp, clean and sterile.
8.3. Harvest Period
Rose plants from cuttings or seed grafting can be harvested at the age of 4-5 months after planting depending on variety and fertility or growth. This disposal will be productive for years 3-5 years range.
8.4. Production Forecast
Rose plants cultivated intensively than species / varieties can produce 120000-280000 bud / hectare / year. This production level depends on rose varieties, soil fertility, distance and level of care for plants in the garden.
9. POST HARVEST
9.1. Collection
1) The collection of postharvest cut flower roses:
a) Collect the flowers immediately after harvest and enter into a container (bucket) containing clean water. The position of the flower stalk is set under water.
b) Transport the entire harvest to the collection points to facilitate the subsequent handling.
2) The collection of roses Postharvest sow:
Collect flowers freshly picked roses in a container (plastic baskets, winnowing / bucket of clean water).
9.2. Sorting and grading
1) Sort of damaged flower, wither and rot separated individually.
2) Classify according to type of flower, flower size, flower stem length and flower color of the uniform. Classification based on long flower stalks are separated into two grades. Grade A flower with a stem length of more than 60 cm, grade B stem length of less than 60 cm.

Distance Exotic Plants For Ornamental Plants
Lately, the plant jatropha (Jatropha curcas L.) as a budding artist. Its presence is often the talk of people, both at the level of farmers, businessmen, bureaucrats and legislative branches. This is due to the distance the fence is a source of fuel that is renewable and environmentally friendly that can be used as a substitute for petroleum derived from fossil (fossil fuel) that are not renewable and environmentally unfriendly, with diminishing reserves in the bowels of the earth.
Apart from Jatropha curcas, known to some kind of distance, such as: Jatropha multifida, J. integrerrina, J. glandulifera, and J. gossypofilia. Those species
have a different look with Jatropha curcas and can be used as an ornamental plant which have high economic value. Even for species of Jatropha multifida or known by the distance a horn, or distance bulging exports have value as ornamental distance. Parent garden Pakuwon Castor, in addition to having
jatropha plantation collections from various regions in Indonesia, also collects some distance exotic species as an ornamental plant, such as J. multifida (distance or distance puffy trumpet), J. integrerrima (distance songo iodine or guardian), and J. glandulifera (distance or distance jitun Mangir).
Because Jatropha is still in one genus, functions as an ornamental plant can be created by connecting or species attached to each other in order to obtain a unique ornamental plants and exotic. The technique of grafting or attachment (grafting) performed a very simple manner, rootstock and scions are selected from where the desired species
provided that the plant will be connected or the distance that has woody digrafting (± 3 months old).
Materials and tools used include: cutter knife, rope, plastic bags are white, and the distance that has woody plants as rootstock and scions. For the extensions made by cutting the stem below the altitude in accordance with what we want, then cut the stem has been cut in a V shape and connected with scions originating from a branch of the same size so kambium and wood rootstock and scions meet each other. Once connected, immediately tied round with caution
using a rope so that the connection is not shifted, then dikerodong with a white plastic bag and stored in the shade. While for grafting
carried out with the buds from the stems cut down by cutter blades in a rectangular shape and affixed with the buds on the stem as desired.
Incision size buds and stems of the rootstock must be the same, so compatible. At the top and bottom patch tied with rope in a circle and does not cover the buds so that the buds were taped to the stem above can
grow. Plant maintenance is done by spraying fungicide grafting connection or a connection that is not attacked by fungi. After the connection / grafting of approximately one month old and has grown stronger branches, raffia immediately opened so that plants can grow normally. Single rootstock can be connected with two or three types of stem above that would be obtained by the exotic ornamental plants.

Cross Pollination and Breeding Techniques Anthurium
Anthurium name comes from the Greek, means tail flower. In Indonesia, this plant is known as anthurium. Natural genetic resources derived from the tropical Americas.
But its development is relatively successful in temperate subtropical countries such as Hawaii, and in temperate climate countries like the Netherlands. Anthurium is a plant that grows alone on the growth media (terrestrial), but there was also that live attached to other plants or epiphytic (Riffle 1998).
In Indonesia anthurium can adapt well, ranging up to the high plains. At an altitude of 1400 m above sea level, these plants need sunlight intensity between 30-60%. When the light intensity is too high, then the plants will turn yellow and leaf color to fade. Conversely, if light intensity is too low, the plant growth slows, productivity rates declined, and the stems are tender.
Anthurium cultivation expanded rapidly in Indonesia, especially in ornamental plant production centers in West Java (Lembang, Bandung, Sukabumi, Cianjur and Bogor), Java (Ungaran, Bandungan, and Semarang), East Java (Batu Malang, citrus, and Pasuruan) , and North Sumatra regions particularly Brastagi (Rukmana 1997). Paranet cultivators his use as a canopy, and the best is having a 70% absorption of sunlight. Temperature required by these plants ranges from l8-200C at night, and 27 -30 ° C in the daytime, with 50-90% humidity (Rosario 1991).
Anthurium Propagation can be done by way of generative (seed) or vegetative (split saplings or cuttings). Self-pollination (selfpollnation) are rare and should be cross-pollination (cross pollination) are artificial. This technique is the most generative ways most appropriate, especially in the activities of breeding to produce Fl hybrid seeds, which in turn is a step to a new and more varied melahirkanjenis.
Artificial crosses will be successful if we note the following factors: (1) the parent crosses that will be used, (2) methods, and (3) crossing time. By doing an excellent selection of elders as the parent of the cross-good seed will be obtained with the advantages derived from its parent.
The purpose of this experiment is to obtain results with variations that cruciferous anthurium better. Expected that the results of these crosses can add to biodiversity and economic value of these plants.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
The materials used are some of anthurium plants whose fruits are different. As an elder female is a kind of Sunset, Champion, Midori, Lady Jane, Orange, Aromatic, Lady Jane, Purple, and White obake, and for male elders is Laura, Sunset, Pink Exotic, Hawaiian Butterfly, Lady Jane, Red, Midori and Red Ati. Media used for seed germination is carbonized rice husk, and for the community pot or a compote of bamboo charcoal husk compost plus a fine comparison: 1. The instrument used was a small paintbrush, petri dish, pot and also compote or plastic tub size 45 cm x 35 cm, paper labels and plastic bags.
Anthurium in artificial cross-pollination carried out in a greenhouse Institute, Ornamental Plant Research Institute, began in July 2003 until June 2004. Location is at the altitude 1100 m asl with temperatures 24-26 ° C in the daytime and l8-20 ° C at night and relative humidity (Rh) 70-90%.
Hybridization method is carried out crosses between species of Anthurium andreanum. Before penyi circles, conducted cruciferous election or selection of elders, both male elders and elder females. From each pair of crosses between selected each one of the best flower stalks. For potted anthurium, elders who used a small-sized plants with leaves or flowers are beautiful. To produce anthurium cut flowers, selected elders who have beautiful flowers, often flowering, flower stalks are long and sturdy, and flower colors vary.
Furthermore, selected female flowers are ready pollinated, which is between 2-3 weeks after anthesis (Rosario 1991). Signs are ready pollinated flowers is to place flowers on the secretion of honey spadiks (slimy) and when held to the terrace a slippery or sticky. Visually this can be seen in the insect pollinators or ants on the spadiks. For the male flower flowers that have been selected out of the pollen or pollen spadiks, colored yellow, and powder (Figure 1). Fig.1. Anthurium ready pollinated female flowers (a) and Anthurium flowers are already out male pollen (b) With the help of brush or directly by hand, pollen stored into the petri dish and then applied to the stigma or female flowers spadiks who readily pollinated. Anthurium crossing workflow presented in Figure 2.
Fig.2. Anthurium crossing Workflow
Pollination done in the morning at 7:00 to 10:00 a.m. when the air was fresh, and or-l7.00 pukul15.00 afternoon when a cold air return. Pollinated plants that have been labeled as containing information about the elder female and male elders, crossing time (day, month and year), and the name penyilang. Furthermore, the female flower-kerudungi or closed using a plastic bag and left sealed for two weeks.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Pollination time
The number of seeds produced varied between 15-393 seeds. Of the nine pairs of crosses obtained 1308 results per-cruciferous seeds. The highest success obtained in the pair of white crosses obake x Pink Exotic, followed by Midori x Pink Exotic, Champion x Laura, and Lady Jane x Red Ati each more than 130 seeds. High success shows that the elder spouse has a high compatibility. Five other elder couples only produce 15-58 seeds (Table l).
Based on the activities carried out, the opportunity to the success of pollination pollination anthurium quite high, especially in the morning which reached 90%. Success of pollination in the afternoon only reached 70%. This is closely related to the temperature in the greenhouse which is still hot. However, the difference in the percentage of success is not too j Auh, amounting to 20%. Successful pollination can be seen from spadiks filled by small bumps crowding round, which will form the fruit called fruit beries. Pollination is not successfully tagged with flowers that will dry up after two weeks.
Of the 20 times of pollination at different times, ie 10 times in the morning and 10 times in the afternoon, produced fruit beries 1308 (Table 2). The success of the nyerbukan could not be separated from the standard requirements to be met, such as cruciferous plant material, cleaning the tools used and other materials are not contaminated, and the time and the process of pollination.
Seeding
Fruit Harvest
Beries fruit produced from the crossing will cook 6-7 months after pollination. Fruit can be harvested after a lu-son, a yellow-brown (Rosario 1991) (Figure 3).
Seeara manual harvesting done by picking the whole fruit that existed at the spadiks. If the fruit is not ripe at once, then gradually seeara harvest by taking a ripe fruit. Fruit that has not been allowed to cook until the fruit ready for harvest (Palestine 2002).
Seeding Seeds
Fruit that has been released from tongkolnya harvested and separated from the skin of the fruit by the way it massaged. Because of anthurium seeds coated with mucus that resembles the flesh of fruit, then the seeds must be soaked first. Soaking is done by using clean water for one day or in distilled water for 10 minutes (Palestine 2002). After that, seeds dieuci on water flow while squeezing to release lendimya until seeds are clean and feels rough.
Furthermore, the media prepared seedbed in the form of rice husk in a pot with diameter of 15 em, then moistened or watered. To maintain humidity, pot backed with a plastic tray filled with water. Clean seeds distributed in the media which has been prepared, and then labeled cruciferous and seeding dates, and then covered with transparent kaea. Lapse of three days, keeambah will start to grow, marked by keluamya roots with feathers of white and colored kuneup followed by the growth of leaves at day 7. At the age of 14 days, the cover is opened and after a 30-40 day-old seedlings, seedlings are transferred to compote in the form of a plastic tub measuring 45 em x 35 em that the bottom has been hollowed and filled with rice husk + compost of fine bamboo with a ratio 1: 1 (Figure 4). Seedlings planted em denganjarak 2 x 2 em. After 3-4 month-old seedlings, seedlings are ready to be planted in pots or in the field.
Seed Maintenance
Maintenance of seed needs to be done as possible, especially watering and fertilization. Watering done 1-2 times a day according to the circumstances euaea, especially should diperhatikanjangan until there is stagnant water. What if the weather was overcast, watering can be done just two days.
To accelerate growth, need to do a mupukan. Anthurium fertilization depends on the media used, light conditions, plant age, and cultivars of anthurium (Palestine 2002). Fertilization can use two kinds of fertilizers that foliar fertilizer to nourish the leaves, and compound fertilizers to provide nutrients in the root zone. Used to measure foliar fertilizer is 1 to 1.5 g / 1 by spraying the leaves around, done once a week. To compound fertilizer NPK, fertilizer dissolved in water with a dose of 1 g / 1 water. Fertilizer solution is splashed around the roots of plants and carried out two weeks.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The best artificial pollination on the anthurium is in the morning between 7:00 to 10:00 o'clock. Of the 20 times of pollination, 10 times of them conducted in the morning, produced 1308 (90%) beries fruit. Pollination success rate is closely related to materials and tools used, time, and the process of pollination. Based on these results, the hybridization should be performed in the morning, so that the results achieved in accordance with the goals expected that, especially with regard to quantity and quality of the results of hybrid seeds.

But besides fragrant, yellow with a local name kamuning (Sunda, Manado, Makassar), yellow or kumuning (Java), kemoning (Bali), kamuni (Bima), and kamoni (Ambon), this turned out to contain cadinene, methyl-anthranilate, bisabolene , B-caryophyllene, geraniol, 3-carene, eugenol, citronellol, methyl-salicylate, paniculatin, tannin and coumurrayin on leaves, and flowers and semi scopoletin on-a-carotenone on the fruit. Myrtle orangejasmine also called in English because this plant has the form of flowers such as jasmine (white and small) as well as any sweet fragrance.
Because of these contents, also known as yellow can be efficacious as a drug, both on the leaves, twigs, roots and tree bark. Myrtle efficacious as numbing (anesthesia), tranquilizers (sedatives), anti-inflammatory, anti-rheumatic, anti-thyroid, eliminating swelling, circulatory and penghalus facilitator skin.
Research Results
Some research has been done to demonstrate pharmacological effects of yellow,
such as:
1. Yellow leaf infusion with a dose of 1,000 mg powder / kg body weight of albino mice for analgesic effects with comparative material acetosal 52mg/kg body weight, providing analgesic effects (Pudjiastuti, et al., Mirror World Medical, No. 59, 1989).
2. Yellow leaf infusion with a dose of 210mg, 420mg and 840mg/200g weight given orally to mice immediately before injection of 0.2 ml of 1% in NaCl karagenin fisiolofis in subplantar (substance maker of artificial edema). At the infusion dose weight 840mg/200g showed anti-inflammatory effects of diclofenac sodium at a dose close to 8mg/200 g body weight used as a comparator (Farida Ibrahim, Juheini, Katrin, Rosrini, Department of Pharmaceutical Science Faculty UI - news Perhipba No. I / III, Jan.-March 1995).

Improving Diversity Through Budi Daya Cut Flower Calla Lily
Calla lily ornamental plants including one newcomer, coming from South Africa. This plant grows well in tropical areas and can be planted throughout the year.
Cut flowers are manifold, both derived from the tropics such as orchids, tuberose, anthurium, or from the subtropical like roses, chrysanthemum, gladiolus, carnations, and lilies. One of the entrants and ornamental plants potentially be developed in Indonesia is the Calla lily (Zantedeschia elliottiana Engl.). Plants are thought to come from South Africa, and included in the family Araceae, order Spadiaflorae. Calla lily is very well cultivated in the tropics because it can be planted throughout the year.
Calla lilies have some value over a potentially become one of the important ornamental plants in the future. Flowers and leaves are beautiful as well as long durability. Plant size not too large, so other than as a cut flower, can also be used as a potted plant. In the homelands of South Africa, Calla lily is often called the varkore or aronskelle. In Western countries, Calla lily known as the arum lily, lily pig, cape or yellow arum arum.
Zantedeschia genus includes many species, among which is the Z. aethiopica, Z. Albomaculata (spotted Calla lily), Z. Sunrise apricot hybrids, and Z. Elliottiana (Golden Calla lily). In general, it is called by the name of Calla lily. Zantedeschia genus are distinguished into two groups, ie plants that do not shed leaves (evergreen), and plants that shed leaves (deciduous).
Plants that did not abort the leaves have white flowers, blooming in spring and summer, as well as having Rhizoma. Plants of this group has no bulb. Examples include Zantedeschia aethiopica. Flowering plants that shed leaves in the summer, shed leaves in winter, with cream-colored flowers, pink, yellow, red, purple and others. Classification of this plant has a tuber. An example is Z. rehmanii (pink Calla), Z. Juanda, Z albomaculata, Z. pentlandii, and Z. elliottiana.
Calla lily
Calla lily-shaped herbaceous plant with 46-75 cm plant height. The leaves have a midrib which grow from tubers, leaf shape varies by species, with variations of green patches. Flowers are monoceous, small size, equipped with flowers and coaxial sheath called spadiks. Flowers are arranged on spadiks with female flowers located on the bottom and male flowers on top. Spadiks flower sheath and generally known as interest.
Z. elliottiana has orbicular ovate-shaped leaves. Leaves are green with patches of opaque white. Plant height can reach 60 cm. sheath-colored flowers are generally yellow with a length of 13 cm. Spadiks length can reach 7 cm.
Plant Propagation
Zantedeschia elliottiana are bulbous plants and produce seeds. Propagation of this plant is generally carried out using a bulb or seed. However, propagation by seed less attractive because it requires a long time to reach the flowering period (about 3-4 years old). Propagation by bulb is preferred because it is faster flowering plants; early flowering only about 2-3 months. Calla lily tubers, including stem tuber, is marked by the existence of buds around the surface of the tuber which can grow into new plants.
Bulbs Seed Selection
Bulbs are ready for planting bulbs that have grown one or a few shoots. At the time, will be planted, the roots were soaked in a solution of 100 ppm GA3 (gibberellin acid) approximately 10 minutes. Soaking in GA3 intended to be stimulated to flowering plants.
Growing Requirements
Calla lily actually not so choose the type of soil. However, as other bulbous plants, Calla lily prefers fertile soil, many containing organic materials, friable, and sandy. Plants grow well in cool areas (more than 1000 m asl), but it can also grow in areas with high heat (about 300 m asl). But in areas with hot, easy bulb rot disease caused by Erwinia aroidea. The climate is damp with rain that would encourage plants to grow evenly optimal. This plant can also be planted in the greenhouse or plastic with the provision of water and the truth is enough penyi
Budi Engineering Resources
Land where the first planting cleared of grass, then hoe deep as 20-40 cm and made beds. Bed width of about 1.2 m, length adapted to the shape or topography of land, and the distance of 0.5 m. antarbedengan Ash beds were given one bucket per m2 and stirred or flattened with a nut-kul. Land cultivation is done about three days and can diisti-rahatkan for one day before planting.
Bulbs will be planted in accordance with the size selected. Planting bulbs do with spacing 20 cm x 20 cm with a depth of about 5 cm. Bulb land closed about 2 cm from the ground surface.
Maintenance plant that will include watering, weeding weeds, fertilizer, and pest / disease. Watering / irrigation is done every day during the period of plant growth. Weed weeding should be done once a month. Plants were given pupukNPK (15-15-15) with a rate of 3g/tanaman. Fertilization first performed four weeks after planting and subsequent three weeks. Fertilizer into the holes provided in right and left tugal tuber. Control of pests and diseases was done regularly with Decis 2 g / l, Dithane M-45 2 g / l, with a spray volume of 500 l / ha.
Harvest Flowers
Calla lily started flowering at the age of 2-3 months after planting bulbs. Flowers were harvested when the flower sheath has full bloom by cutting the base of the flower stalks.
Time to cut interest is best in the morning or evening. Cutting interest rates during the day cause rapid sheath is damaged because a lot of water loss. Farmers in many central areas of ornamental plants and cut flowers in general, picking flowers at 6:00 to 08:00 o'clock. Flowers were collected in a basket or bucket filled with water to soak the base of the flower stalk, so keep fresh flowers in a long time.
Harvesting Bulbs
Harvest tubers when plants began to be shed leaves, usually after flowering for 6-8 months after planting. Bulbs are harvested by digging the soil around the tuber. When hoeing the land sought to be unaffected tubers hoe because it will lead to tuber rot caused by bacterial attack E. aroidea. Bulbs that have been harvested cleaned from the roots and soil that it attached and then washed. Furthermore, tuber-diangin drained and the wind in the open. Once dry enough, the roots were separated according to class and diameter of bulb, ie U1 (diameter <3 cm), U2 (3-4 cm diameter), and U3 (diameter> 4 cm), then soaked in a solution of Benlate (fungicide 5 g / l) for 15 minutes. Bulbs stored indoors for 2-3 months to germinate, and then planting again.
ENGINEERING PROPAGATION BETEL RED
Red betel plant (Piper crocatum) more commonly bred in a vegetative or asexual. Naturally red betel plants propagated by seed is difficult. Propagation in this manner has the advantage that the most important is the genetic trait inherited from its parent plant.
Plants propagated vegetatively red betel can be done in several ways ie, cuttings, grafting and perundukan.
1. Cuttings
Cuttings are fragments of vegetative organs (roots, stems, leaves, etc.) plants used for propagation of plants, with the intention that these parts form the roots. Cuttings that can be used for this red betel plant is by stem cuttings.
The reason is propagated through stem cuttings because cuttings is a simple, cheap and fast. The number of seeds produced from one parent plant more. All the seeds produced has the same genetic characteristics indukknya plants.
Stages of red betel plant nurseries by cuttings can be done as follows:
a. Select the parent plants are healthy and have a sturdy stem of a bamboo skewer or better could be bigger. The width of the leaf is or could be more and thicker. Based on the author's experience, material and size of stem cuttings with small leaves, it will produce seeds that are small and tend plants also less able to develop properly.
b. Cut stems into one or two segments with each segment requirements still have leaves. If the material used in cutting two sections, at least one leaf but ruasnya have better leafy both sides. Cutting materials with a segment without leaves, grows very small percentage, or even can not grow at all. Because the process of photosynthesis that occurs is not perfect, thus inhibiting the growth and development of the seedling cuttings.
c. Soak cuttings material into clean water for 15-30 minutes. For better results and reduce the risk of failure of cuttings seedling growth, water immersion plus vitamin B1 can be specific to plants or commonly sold in pharmacies in tablet form. 1 ml of vitamin B1 was dissolved in one liter of clean water. Or 1 tablet / 1 liter of water. Soak cuttings material during the 30 minutes or more. Vitamin B1 thiamine containing a function to accelerate cell division in root meristem.
Based on trials and experience of the author, cutting material that was soaked in a solution of vitamin B1 for ± 24 hours with a segment obtained 90% success rate. Besides the growth of shoots and roots much faster when compared with non-soaked with vitamin B1.
Cuttings materials can also be soaked in a solution of growth regulators (growth hormone) first as Rootone F or Atonik. How to use Rootone F is rubbing the base of the cuttings with growth regulators that have been made pasta rather thin, because Rootone F powder. Then aerated for a while. When using growth hormone Atonik, Atonik way is to dissolve as much as 1 ml in 1 liter of clean water, then soak the cuttings material for 15 minutes. After that lift and aerated for a while, newly planted. The aim of treatment is to stimulate the formation of growth regulators that accelerate the growth of roots of shoot cuttings.
d. Prepare a place seeding in the form of potted seedlings 10 cm in diameter or poly bag that has been hollowed bottom and sides. Then fill in the form of seeding media mix of sifting fern (resembling floured soil), sand, charcoal, husk, organic fertilizer with a ratio of 4:2:2:1. In addition to the above media can also use a mixture of humus and bamboo leaves, rice husk, sand, organic fertilizer with a ratio of 4:4:2:1. Or it could also be modified by the Breeding. To prevent these pests in seedling media, should be sown at one end of Furadan 3G teaspoon per polybag. Then, media drenched with clean water until quite wet.
Basically, the media used for seedling cuttings of red betel must meet the following requirements:
1. Compact enough (firm and dense)
2. Have the capacity to hold water (watter holding capacity) a good / high.
3. Having a good aeration.
4. Free from weed seeds, nematodes, fungi, pathogenic bacteria and other natural enemies.
5. Provides essential nutrients for plants.
e. Cuttings planting materials had been in the media with accurate and true seedlings. Note the location of the axillary leaf buds facing upwards and never backwards. Try the book (where the leaves, buds and fibrous roots) covered with 0.5 cm deep medium - 1 cm from media surface. This is caused if too deep, so the buds and roots rot quickly. Once planted, again with water to cuttings do not wilt. Place these cuttings seedlings in the shade and cool, not exposed to direct sunlight.
f. Maintenance seedling cuttings. Watering can be done two times a day during the dry season. In the rainy season just one time a day or as needed, if the media is too wet do not need watering. To strengthen the growth of seedlings, can be watered with a solution of vitamin B1 once a week. Approximately at the age of 2 weeks, shoots will emerge the media surface. At the age of four weeks has two to three pieces of leaves from new shoots (leaf cuttings of materials is not counted), and roots of plants from the base of the stem meets the base of the already long poly bags / pot. Planting of seedlings ready to be moved into larger pots or directly into the ground.
2. Graft (Marcottage or water layerage)
Propagation of red betel can also be done by grafting. Graft is principally seek root of a branch plant, without cutting the branch from the parent plant. Propagation in this manner has the advantage of them, the plants have properties superior parent plants and plant more quickly into production.
Red betel plant grafting techniques is different from other plants in general, that is only growing media placed on the book and wrapped with plastic plants or coconut fiber.
Stages of red betel transplantation can be performed as follows:
a. Part of the book which will be grafted plants, should first be sprayed with a solution of growth regulators (growth hormone) with a root stimulant concentration of 1 ml / liter of water (as recommended) or a solution of vitamin B1. The use of growth hormone or vitamin B1 serves to accelerate the formation of root growth and thus will accelerate also the formation of leaf buds on the armpit. When not using this method also does not matter.
b. Prepare the planting media. Media used almost the same as nursery cuttings, ie sifting fern roots (such as soil, powder, charcoal, rice husks and fine goat manure with a ratio 4:2:1. Or can also use a mixture of soil and manure alone with a ratio 2: 1. Mixed media is then affixed to the book and wrap it with plastic that has been drilled.
c. Furthermore, the graft flush with clean water until all wet media.
d. After one month, the roots have grown to meet the media. Cut stems under the graft. Open wrap grafts and planting in pots or directly in soil. Seedlings by grafting, has a growing percentage of 90% to 100%.
3. Duck (Layering)
Propagation of red betel can also use the Sniper system. Principles of perundukan is to stimulate (stimulate) the formation of roots or shoots before separated from its mother.
Ducked stages can be performed as follows:
a. Provide some polybags or pots with a diameter of 12 cm already given the growing media and dijajar next to the parent plant. Same growing media used by cuttings or grafting. Can also just use a mixture of soil and manure with a ratio of 3: 1. As a parent plant material is a plant that has red betel vine length 2 meters or more.
b. Expand red betel vine plants, then plant the stem sections with dirundukkan rooted in polybags, polybags that had been prepared.
c. Then siramlah these plants once a day or see the conditions. If the media is still wet do not need watering. In general, drought conditions in the media tend to dry faster, so we need more intensive watering. Vice versa, when the rainy season, the media tend to be more humid, and watering done if necessary.
d. After approximately one month, growth and development of plant roots and have started a lot stronger. Furthermore, each seed can be separated per polybag. Planting the seeds are on a larger media or can be directly planted in the yard of a house that has been provided.
