REMEMBER: wait a week before the first watering. This is done because most types of cactus have a dormancy period in which he does not need water. Provision of water immediately after planting only cactus will cause root decay. In addition, do pot or soil replacement at regular intervals once every 1 year.

Generally, there are two types of cactus is a cactus plant that likes sun or vice versa, cactus-like dark places. Do not forget to ask the kind where you currently buy cactus plants in the nursery.

Leaves of ornamental plants has 40 species, three of which are a favorite ornamental plant lovers is Aglaonema costatum, Aglaonema modestum, and Aglaonema crispum. Aglaonema found growing naturally in tropical countries such as in Southeast Asia, India, and China.

Their natural habitats are swamps and rain forests. Sri fortune was among the herbaceous plants that can grow to a height of 20-150 cm.

Legacy has green leaves with shades of red dominance following the line leaves the bones. Meanwhile, have a pattern of red lipstick around the edges of the leaves (so as to wear lipstick lips). Cochine a fortune sri-leaved red or copper color.

Aglaonema floristry

You can cultivate by growing Aglaonema cob. Of the hump you can get 2-3 new tillers. After 6 months, you can separate the new puppy from its mother. Tips for Aglaonema breeding more quickly is to cut shoots.

This technique stimulates the parent plant to remove the new shoots. From one piece top, you can get a new puppy again 2-3. Tillers of the top piece can be used as seed after it has 5-7 leaves. If you use these two methods at once, then from one plant you can get a new fortune sri 5-6 puppies.

If you want to shoot a maximum cutting results, choose an adult who has a 8-10 Aglaonema leaves. Condition of the parent plant should be healthy with fresh mature leaves of criteria and sturdy, while the young leaves did not shrink. Also have strong roots with the criteria of a white, fat, and no foul. Prior to cutting the top, you should bury the stem deeper into the soil up to 8-10 cm.

Frequency of fertilizer application may also be increased 2-3 weeks before cutting the top. If you usually give fertilizer 1 x week, before the deduction is doubled to 2 x week.
How to do the cutting tip is as follows:
• Prepare to poke the knife and tool
• Matches the media to see the condition of the roots (remember the criteria for strong roots!)
• Cut the stems of Aglaonema and leave a leaf on a plant stem weevil, which is intended to keep the parent plant can photosynthesize to produce food, so the new shoots that emerge will be large
• In the section cut, either on the stump of the remaining pieces are also on the top, basting with antiseptic (betadine or a mixture of betel nut +) to close the wound
• Planting the top piece of ground in a mixture of chaff media, poor sand, humus ANDAM, and ferns (ratio 1:5:2:2 respectively)
• Sprinkle on a regular basis, and put in the shade
• The new shoots will appear within 1 month

Chicks that you would get from the top is not necessarily the result of cutting has roots. When you move the seedlings Aglaonema that do not have strong roots then use the plastic wrap method. Planting new seedlings in the pot, then made of clear plastic lid.

Thus, the containment of high humidity (up to 80%), the temperature remains stable. This allows an increase in metabolic rate so that the roots grow faster. The roots will appear after 3 weeks disungkup and ready to be moved out. Clear plastic lid can also be replaced by a transparent tube of plastic material if possible. Plastic tubing is more durable than ordinary clear plastic because it will not tear.

How To Plant a Flower Adenium

Generally, any type of Adenium is a plant that grows well in tropical climates, soils berhumus, the influence of the sun shade.

Characteristic of the golden crown that makes it so beautiful is the width and canopy hump that forms the angle of 900.

Adenium planting a golden crown Arabicum variant is tricky and takes patience. First, you must select the seeds that have the stump of a balanced prop up the branches, with a minimum length of 4-5 cm bulbs. Then, choose seeds that have a balanced branching on each side, so that the crown shape that you want to create a well. Have a nice golden crown in the center of the main branches that grow straight up, and several other branches around it.

Even though in some particular variants of land needed change more often, as in variant golden or diamond crown. Substitution of this land is important, to control the growth of mildew or the presence of nests of small beetle that attacks the tubers and roots like Adenium. Adenium is planted in small pots can reach a height of 13 cm, with a stump diameter of 8 cm.

Activities that are quite exciting in the care of Adenium are now set up branches form, especially if yours is a variant Adenium golden or diamond crown. One of the most commonly used to form the branching pattern is to use the wire and the help of sunlight. To form a symmetrical branching, you just need twiddling pot, make the short branch to get the most sunlight, so long as a branch on the other side.

Adenium floristry 2012

Adenium is a plant that is relatively easy to breed. There are two ways of breeding Adenium; generative and vegetative. Generative proliferation can do by using seeds Adenium. To get the seeds Adenium, you must wrap the fruits of Adenium with plastic.

You need to know that the fruit Adenium is a type of fruit dehiscent, meaning that when the fruit is ripe will burst ejects its seeds. Therefore, it is important to wrap the first fruits of it with plastic when it has not been plucked from the tree. Adenium fruit begins to grow when the flowers bloom a month old, and within 3-4 months of this fruit to ripen. So you can begin to wrap these fruits mature 2-3 weeks before period. When ripe, the seeds of Adenium will be collected in plastic. Then, collect the seeds to dry.

Once dry, the seeds you plant may soon return. Disadvantages of generative way of breeding is the time it takes a while for new adult Adenium start flowering when he was 6 months. You can do vegetative propagation by cuttings or grafts. There are several advantages of vegetative propagation in Adenium, among others: You can select a character or flower bulbs are good, easier to collect seeds, and plants not susceptible to the virus.

Meanwhile, the downside is you'll be hard to guess what you as an adult form of Adenium. Grafting is usually done is to graft on the branching stems and tubers. You can use a plastic bag and tape to wrap the graft, then wait until the package is enlarged. If you look bigger, which means that you have grown grafts produce a new puppy, and you can open the plastic wrap.

If you are grafting on the stump, then do not forget to coat the plastic with carbon paper (or newspaper if you do not have carbon paper), so that the bulbs are not burned by the sun. The time needed for the transplant only 2-4 weeks to produce new tillers. The new seedlings must be grown in the shade because the puppies are still resistant to direct sunlight.

When you decide to grow Adenium, you must have an adequate supply of seeds. The meaning here Adenium seeds are puppies that have had weevil, which has been grown for 9 months. The advantage of seeds is the optimal growth so that as adults will be healthier and stronger plants. This seedling was strong enough if you want to transplanting.

Adenium in cultivation, do not hesitate to give fertilizer at the nursery. With intensive fertilizer, seeds you can mature up to 3 months earlier than seeds without fertilizer.
