indoor ornamental plants also beautify our homes, more over it gives cool atmosphere in to the room. After discussed about how to treat the ornamental plants it self, now we should know the treatment of the ornamental plants due to the place of the plants.

Substitution of ornamental plants in pots in the room
Containers that are not suitable to be used should be replaced with a larger pots. If not. will reduce the attraction, inhibit growth, corner disturbing the health of plants.

Plants that grow fast like uklaonema and fibdendron, pot can be replaced six months srkali. Tanamao The slow-growing palm such as nolina or single, changing pot can be done once a year.

Plants removed from the old pot. after put up a new pot that is bigger than his successor with a carefully dismantled.

Planting media for indoor plants that use the humidity is, should crumble, but has the power to bind the water was perfect. Growing media consists of a mixture of sand, garden soil. and manure (1:1). Plants that can be given media like dry sand and manure (1:1). And given the rather wet garden soil and manure (1:1).

Other Treatment
So that is always interesting appearance of ornamental plants, indoor decorative plants require daily care concern. treatment although only briefly.

Damaged plant parts such as leaf yellowing, or dried and immediately discarded. That is too leafy branches should be reduced in order to create a smooth air circulation. Leaves can be trimmed that often grows on a regular basis and at the same time.

Caring and maintaining indoor plants
The use of light in-nurseri nurseri in Holland. as the main source of light for plants.

From the result of careful research, artificial lights are turned out to be more effective than the sun. The advantage lies in the selection of light according to the needs of plants. This light is needed – for the various processes in plant growth. There are three processes that are influenced by light, ie photosynthesis, fotomorfogenesis, and fotoperiodism. But among the three processes, photosynthesis is the main process, because it produces chemical energy for the synthesis of organic components.

Not all wavelengths of light needed by plants. From tests performed on many varieties of plants – with an average deviation of 5% – an average spectrum obtained on plant sensitivity curve. This curve shows, the maximum sensitivity for photosynthesis lies at a wavelength of 675 nanometers (nm).

Sunlight as a primary light source for the plant has distribution
spark plugs are relatively different transmit energy to the crops. Owned solar energy peak is located at a wavelength of 475 nm. Outside this spectral region, the energy produced is minimum. Therefore, the light energy emitted by the sun were not fully utilized plants for photosynthesis.

Unlike the sun, artificial lights in fact have a more effective light for use in the process of photosynthesis. Section, the energy produced by light in the portion concentrated on Improving the quality of crops With advantages of this light, the process of photosynthesis in plants run more optimally. Use appropriate additional lights will spur the formation of assimilation. Not only the assimilation, the production cycle is becoming shorter, the figure is more strong and healthy plants, and rapid flowering than usual.

Negative effects that often arise from lighting by natural light can be prevented. Thus the use of artificial light even enhance the benefits seen from the time of planting and crop quality.

The effectiveness of artificial light also depends on the length of time spent (as an additional light from the light in the daytime) and grade. That is, if the amount of light received by plants is not the optimum – or minimum – the growth was also not optimum. From this research, the annual production at the plant with additional lighting for 8 hours every night, to show improvement.

Lighting for indoor plants
For indoor plant lighting in the home, office, properties, and hotels can use artificial light from lamps. Lights are in addition to being decorative elements, also has function to treat and enhance plant growth.

The composition of the light is not only aimed at the plants, but also consider the light that can satisfy the human eye. Light is clearly highlighted the interest fixation and leaf color indoor plants. Blended light lamps Philips products highly suited for this purpose. Filament lamp used to reject coal. Blended light lamps equipped with incandescent bulbs fixation and high pressure mercury tube. The content of blue light shining on the plant will prevent the effects of cell elongation / network.

Which need to be considered, where the lights should be just above the plant properties, and is sufficient. So the heat produced by lighting the lamp does not cause dryness. Minimum required illumination level of permanent crops is 1000 lux.

In addition to indoor plants, too many lights use Philips products for horticultural commodities. In Europe, particularly Holland, lighting is a key component in the cultivation of cut flowers. Use the lamp in a broad scale can also be found on-nurseri raised there.

Artificial light is also used to increase the light of day in a greenhouse. This light will increase the level of lighting for photosynthesis. Fotoperiodism as one of the important processes in plants can also be enhanced the effectiveness this way. In the laboratory there is no light notahene: Dami, the main alternative is artificial light to grow experimental crops.

For the purposes of the above, the selection of the type of lights for each plant depending each planting purposes. Many factors must be considered, such as radiation levels, the distribution of radiation, characteristics of photoperiod, the environmental needs of plants, the addition or replacement of the light of day, where available, and costs

Indoor plants are of diverse types and conditions, so that must be selected which can be used and what does not. Fun plant to moisture must also be taken into account, because there is resistance in air-conditioned room, there is not.

For indoor plants selected a strong, healthy, and his current ¬ growth. It is marked by a fresh shiny leaves, and prime condition.
Indoors, plants should be put in place the most bright with natural light. ¬ as a big an indoor plants will grow better in warm room because it will add to its durability.

Air-conditioned room actually less desirable plants, because the air is dry. But some types of plants such as banyan, betel ivory, and tongue-in-law, actually stand in the room air conditioner, if the first treatment adaptation.

Fertilization of ornamental plants indoors
Fertilizer as a nutrient source provided the same as other ornamental plants, namely organic and inorganic fertilizers. Organic fertilizers such as humus, compost, manure properties, and is a basic fertilizer mixed into the soil or planting media at the time the plant is placed into the pot. Its function is to improve the structure of planting media.

Mixture of inorganic fertilizers such as urea, TSP, and KCI, or NPK, provided periodically, eg 2-4 months after the plants grow strong. Fertilizer diluted first with water, then pour in the growing media.

To stimulate the growth of palm fronds for example, conducted simultaneously with watering fertilization. Solution of one teaspoon of NPK with 10 liters of water is splashed on the roots of plants every two weeks, especially when the palms are showing the growth process.

Watering indoor ornamental plants
Time, the amount of water, and how regular watering will prevent plants from dying from one flush.

The amount of water depends on the type of watering plants. There are plants that like wet conditions (asplenium, violces, scindapsus), semi-wet (anthurium, palm, filodendron), and dried (cactus, sansiviera, Kalanchoe).

Watering can be done from top to wet the entire root zone of plants. Excess water is wasted being washed out through the drainage holes in the bottom of the pot. Aglaonema for example, including plants that like water, but also tolerant of prolonged drought conditions. Penyiramannya can be done morning and evening, or when the media began to dry plants.

Watering can be the most practical to use a wet sponge is squeezed and poured into the plant. Generally the fans do when the plants before watering will be displayed in the room, and penyiramannya again take place after the plant removed from the room for refreshment process.

Refreshing indoor ornamental plants
After decorating the room for a certain period, the plants need to break out of the room for refreshment. Plants that are not resistant or tolerant sun still need a refresher. Action is necessary to maintain the plants to stay healthy and perform excellent. If treatment is omitted, the plants will languish – marked the edge of the leaf dries.

Plants removed between one to two weeks. The duration is outside the room is very dependent on the conditions. If you have recovered fresh, and the leaves look shiny, it can be put back in the room.

Plants tolerant to sunlight could be on the outside of the room for 2-4 weeks, after one week in the room. Plants that can stand in a room outside the room for 1-2 weeks, after being in the room for 2-4 weeks.

To be able to last longer in the room, full of light like plants, need light candles feeds 400-800. A semi-light candles around 200-400 feeds and the likes shade around 50-200 feeds candles.

Outdoor plants need protection from strong winds and rainfall that could damage the appearance: Avoid all plants from excessive sunlight.

Health protection of ornamental plants indoors
Pest and disease can cause plants to appear in prime condition. All problems must be prevented. Pests such as grasshoppers, caterpillars, mites, or damaging mealybug plant leaves and shoots can be controlled with insecticides.

Physiological diseases such as leaves dry out because of lack of water, pale color due to lack of sunlight, need proper attention and treatment. Each type of plant needs to be treated according to the requirements needed.

Dust can also make a fast indoor plants resistance to slump. Layer of dust so thick yet can be cleaned by wiping the leaves with a sponge or damp cloth. Plants can also be sprayed water to remove dust.

To make the leaves look shiny you can use whole milk or milk ubuk dissolved in water. Milk is applied to the leaf surface with a clean cotton. Plants that spread with the milk will look better.

Many people choose to plant vines to beautify the courtyard wall, pergola, or fence. There are so many kinds to choose from. Start a beautiful leafy till flowering interesting. Planted in pots are also beautiful, you know!
There are many options available creepers. Their beauty is in the lush, leaf shape, or color and visual interest. Vines are usually used for wall or pergola and fence the yard, but for pages that are not too wide, ivy can also be planted in pots.
There is excess vines are planted in pots. “If the pot is more easily maintain its growth rate,” said Agus Martono from Omat Wit Nursery.

This is of course so simplify treatment, and also cheaper. “If for a large land area needed more plants, and treatment more complicated. So more expensive.”
The Beautiful flowers
For the propagation of flowering plants, there are many options of a decent choice. “I only have approximately 30 kinds of vines. Starting from Quisqualis indica, tears cat, mandevilla, or morning glory plants. The latter is now once again a lot of interested persons.”
Generally, the key to maintain the vines is enough sunlight. “Of course there must be propagating direction. Whether it’s in the pergola, wall, wire, or wood,” adds Agus.
In order to grow fast, use planting media soil and compost with a ratio of 1:1 or 2:1. “If the air is humid, usually leaves mealybug pests of plants seized.” Exterminators spray attachment to the place of pests. If only one fruit, cut just the leaves. ”
Tips:
1. Often trimmed. With diligent pruning, new shoots will come out. Trees and flowers grew even more lush. Notice of certain types may not be precisely trimmed.

2. Trim the side. The main stem but do not cut the stem side.

3. Give fertilizer. Like humans, plants also need nutrients from fertilizer.

4. Know the type. Before buying plants, always know the type of plant. Is suitable in the high altitude or low, flowering once a few months, and needed care how.

Not just any material can be used in pond. If false, pool water can be contaminated and harmful animals and plants in it.
Do not imagine the pond does not require additional material. If you carefully pay attention to the lake or natural pond, look no boundary between water and its banks.

Natural waters are usually restricted to the rocks. So, should we follow the view so as not to appear too many problems. In addition, because of its natural, stone is also more resistant to weather changes.

There are many choices of stone that can be used, ranging from stone to stone pumice. If necessary, you can add coral stone or gravel to make it look more beautiful.
The use of coral stone and gravel are very varied. Formal and informal impression can be obtained easily. You can spread it to create an impression so natural and relaxed, can also be mixed concrete or cement to make it look neater.

Wood legitimate use. But do not forget to seal the wood surfaces with lacquer so as not exposed to water and sun weathered. Make sure also that the varnish used are safe for fish and plants.

Other options could be considered that metal. Many works of art of metal that looks beautiful when displayed on the pond. But, avoid the copper and iron materials because they release potentially toxic heavy metals in pool water.

If you love to collect plants, must have been familiar with the chrysanthemum flower and aloe vera plant (Sansevieria). It’s pretty healthy too!
Has a healthy occupancy not only created by the landscaping area or the number of openings facing outward. Plants can also beautify useful addition to the garden, some plants even healthier. Chrysanthemum flower and tongue-in-law (Sansevieria) for example.
Based on the research at a University of Sydney, Australia, chrysanthemum flower is able to reduce 90% of pollutants indoors. Similarly with the tongue-in-law plant, a plant that contains a lot of this water effectively absorb formaldehyde, one of the toxins produced by cigarette smoke.
The second treatment plant is not difficult. Simply water it regularly to avoid the plants from drought. But another case with chrysanthemum flowers, colorful flowers that appear are just not waterproof. To be durable, then place in a room with incandescent Solarise interest for him to flourish.
For your healthy occupancy, shall be maintained both of these plants. Colorful chrysanthemum flowers can also add aesthetic value space, while the tongue-in-law also placed right on the outskirts of fish ponds.

No need to use AC to get the cold weather. Simply multiply the plants around the dwelling, then would we feel the cool atmosphere.

The heat of the earth’s temperature is one reason people attend water conditioner (AC) in their residences. Just look at the houses in urban areas, nearly all of its space has a cooling machine. However, in reality not everyone can afford to buy goods entering tertiary class (luxury) that because the price is quite expensive. The solution exists and is guaranteed cheap and very environmentally friendly.

Yes, the plant became the answer. Living creatures that suck out oxygen and carbon dioxide in the daytime it’s “savior” to protect of our Capital City’s growing pollution is rampant. In fact, shade leaves can also be a shade under the sun during the day time.

Plants in pots are placed on the terrace or inside the home were able to cool the atmosphere and natural beauty. Other plants that can be used as a dwelling is a vine Conditioning. Vines of many kinds, there are types of flowers, fruits, or plants that produce leaves.

Which currently are loved mandevilla vine (plant trumpet) because his character very well with the tropical climate in this country. There are also other vines, among stephanot purple, white and purple thunbergia, bougenvil, quisqualis indica, tears cat, Alamanda, lady chewing betel nut, betel ivory, monstera, or morning glory plants.

Besides functioning as air conditioning, with a little “touch” art, vines can also be displayed in a pretty slick in the dwelling as an accessory. Regarding the types of plants, should be adjusted to the taste of the hosts and the impression you want to display.

If you wish to choose flowering vines to sweeten occupancy, choose a neutral-colored flowers, like white and yellow to become partners occupancy. However, if the flowering vines to be used as points of interest, choose a flower vine flashy like red or orange color.

If you want to present the impression leafy and green, leaf-producing vines can be selected. For example, betel sirihan types. Besides functioning as a Conditioning, betel leaves can also be used as a medicine. However, do not choose a vine whose leaves easily fall because, other than gross effect on occupancy, it displays also become less attractive if the continuous fall.

While for vine fruits, you can choose the wine, passion fruit, or strawberries. Besides looking beautiful, the fruit of the vine can also be enjoyed. Nevertheless, there are types of vines that must be carefully cared for him.

Another thing to note is the growing media, fertilizers, watering routine, intake of sunlight, and means of propagation such as walls, pergola, a series of wire, pole buildings, or fences. Indeed, to avoid disappointment and difficulty caring for vines, preferably before buying vines need to know these plants live in the lowlands or highlands. Because, despite the many kinds of creepers that live in the lowlands that need lots of sun, there are vines that can only live in cool area.

In addition to easily take care of him, we are also satisfied with the results. Because, if one plant, suppose that should be planted in cool area actually planted in hot areas, will cause the flowers or leaves are not growing.

Plants have the power to give peace and shade. The green color of leaves or flowers and colorful fruit makes every blink of the eye becomes so valuable.

The existence of these beings has provided extraordinary benefits, provided that coupled with good maintenance and regular. That way, the plant would provide shade, oxygen, flowers, fruits, and other freshness. With a “reward” that is, many people love and need the plants.

Some say that love is not meant to have. But for the “creature” on this one, you must have and put it in good neighbourhoods so that buildings can be reduced hardscape impression.

Bring the plants not only had to pass through the soil. Plants can be planted in pots media. Appearance of plants in pots look more beautiful and well maintained. Plants were deliberately maintained in order to grow more charming, not only for its owners, as well as for all who see. Unfortunately, the planting media in the pot is very limited, so the space for the roots become more narrow. Therefore, treatment “plus” must be done, as with regular watering, fertilizers and nutrients to give, pay attention to intake of sunlight, and cut or pull out if it grows too shady.

Various types of plants can be planted in container pots, good crops of fruit, flowers, let alone a mere leaf. However, when choosing a pot, pot size must be taken to ensure that enough to grow plants and do not give the impression unbalanced (too big or too small). In addition, it should also be noted pot material. Should choose a strong material and is not easily cracked if you want the plants continue to flourish. Materials that can be selected pots are made from clay, plastic, cement, or rubber tire. Depending on the tastes of a plant.

Regarding laying pot, grouped based on plant height. Thus, the plants will look neat and beautiful. To plant flowers such as roses, jasmine, and orchid, select a pot that is in accordance with size. Not so great, but must be adapted to the size of the flowers. Therefore, a size too large pots would reduce the beauty of flowers and create the impression that do not match.

Not unlike flowers, pot size for fruit crops should also be adjusted with large plants. Pot size depends on the growth of the crops. If a large tree, the diameter of the pot should be up to one meter. For example water guava grown large diameter pot could be one to two meters. However, if the plant continues to grow into more large, replace with larger pots or bonsai techniques can be done. Pruning be another option for more compact than a fruit tree, also stimulate rapid fruiting plants.

About potted fruit trees, the most common size and cheap oil is the barrel of the former media. Way, the barrel is split in two, so that the barrel was so short height, about one or two segments. Pot of these barrels will look sturdy and strong.

In addition to potted plants are placed at the bottom, there is also a potted plant that was hung on a pole or a pergola. For this hanging plants, needs to be a rope that is used to prevent the collapse of the pot because the weight of the rope was not strong. In addition to the power cord, power tie should also be considered.
