Planting Fruit at Home House
Gardening November 9th, 2010
Price increases, joining an impact on the price of fruit, especially fruit imports. Well, why not grow it themselves.
Melon
There are several types of melons. But the much-loved is a kind of Sky rocket from Taiwan and the emerging is the kind of Swing from Japan. Swing sweet melon fruit with thick flesh. Compared sky rocket, Swing has a more coarse mesh and exposed. Fruit spherical shape with a maximum weight of 1.4 kg. While sky rocket could reach 2 kg more. Compared sky rocket, Swing melon flesh thicker, more sweet, and crunchy.
Melons are in need of sunlight. Conversely, the rain can be damaging, especially if it rains continuously when the fruit is harvested late. Fruit can be reduced sweetness. Strong winds can also break the stalks of plants, and high humidity can cause disease. The air temperature required is quite high, around 20-30 degrees Celsius.
Preparation begins by soaking the seeds in warm water mixed substance growing inducement 1 cc / l, until the water is cold. After chilling, seeds removed and dikecambahkan over with a damp washcloth, then covered with newspaper. If germinated along the 0.5 cm, the seedlings are ready for seedlings planted in the media.
Use a mixture of soil, sand, and manure with a ratio of 1:1:1 as a medium for seedlings. This media is placed in polybags bags as much as 5 cm from the bottom. In each polybag, provide as much as one of NPK 15:15:15 grams. Seedlings planted in the middle of the media with the root position at the bottom, then cover with a layer of soil. Siramlah to taste and place it in a place exposed to sunlight, but protected from rain.
Seven days later, seedlings should be sprayed with a mixture of insecticide, fungicide, and foliar fertilizer, each 1 ml per 1 liter of water. Fifteen days later, new leaves will emerge as much as 4-5 strands. Well, this melon seedlings ready for planting in the open air courtyard. Do not forget to give shade from the roof of a transparent plastic 1 mm. The size is approximately 2 x 3 meters. Complete with poles. Height of 2 m to the west and 2.5 m in the East. A third of the upper walls also need to be closed transparent plastic.
We suggest you choose the evening for planting melon seeds. Use a diameter of 40 cm polybags to plant the melon with a distance of 50 cm between polybags. Used the same media with the media for seedlings, but the amount of up to 10 cm below the lip polybags. Give NPK 16:16:16 2-3 grams and 2 grams of carbofuran are mixed evenly.
Move the seeds from the media into the media planted seedlings have to be careful. Sobeklah plastic in order to land that is not attached to the plant roots can not be separated. Enter into a planting medium that has been drilled. Then cover with soil, and tap-tap in order to somewhat dense, then flush with water. Fit tip marker from bamboo poles nailed to the roof of the shade. Tie the plants at stake with rope. But make it a little loose so as not to inhibit the growth of plants.
Now, you just take care of him. A week after planting, give as many as one of NPK 16:16:16 teaspoon, in the morning, every week. Fertilizer incorporated into the plot of land made around the stems of plants as deep as 3 cm. Enter the fertilizer evenly, then cover again with soil. Once fertilized, flush with water.
In addition, you also need to provide appropriate development of foliar fertilizer, foliar fertilizer with the higher nitrogen content during the vegetative (stem and leaf growth of plants), and the berkandungan phosphorus and high potassium in the generative period (conception). The size is 2 cc per liter of water (if you use the fertilizer solution) or 2 grams per liter (if form granules). How, to spray the fertilizer into the surface of the upper and lower leaves, shoots, stems and stalks of plants. Give at 9am.
Soil should be moist, but if too damp can damage plant roots. Therefore, siramlah every day to taste depending on the circumstances. If still wet, do not need watering. Towards the establishment of nets on fruit skin, stop watering for a week. After netting appeared about 60 percent, re-watered plants sufficiently.
In each armpit dilanjarkan plant leaf on a bamboo stake, will grow many branches. Therefore you need to cut a branch on the first leaf armpit until the eighth. The next branch maintained to produce fruit. Male flowers appear on the first until the eighth leaf armpit also trimmed. In addition, crop tops cut off if the plant has reached 150 cm high.
Armpit female flowers appear on the first leaf. Each branch can produce two female flowers, but in one branch dibuahkan only one course. After appearing fruit, reserving the leaves, then cut the top branches.
Assisted by a bee pollinating melons. However, to ensure the fruit, you can self-pollinating. Take pollen from male flowers using a small brush. Then dab the brush on the female flowers are blooming. Do it on every day during good weather.
Each branch can produce 1-2 melon fruit. Though each plant may have 15-20 branches. Therefore, you need to qualify. The amount of fruit in one plant should be 3-5. Allow the chicken to the size of an egg. Then, select one or two points that shape and looks good. While the less well disposed. When I was at a tennis ball, fruit stalk attached to a stake so that the fruit does not stick in the ground.
When he was 75-80 days after sowing, fruit ready for harvest. Sign of the mature fruit is full nets appear on the skin near the stem to the fruit. Also appears fractures form the dividing line between the fruit and the fruit stalks, until it was clear a ring.
Gardenia, The Enchantment of the Fragrance Diffuser
Gardening October 4th, 2010
Gardenia (Gardenia soniapedro) or better known as the gardenia widely planted as an ornamental plant in pots or as a hedge plant.
Flowers fragrant aroma and distinctive. The flowers were beautiful, shaped like roses with circular canopies and canopy-tiered. Flower color of white and yellow. The leaves are oval, thick, smooth and shiny on the upper surface of the palm leaf.
This plant is estimated to come from China or Japan, but has long been grown in Indonesia. In addition to the home page, this one also worthy of plants planted in the yard office, parks, or in the street as an ornamental plant.
Originally, he is a plant protector, so no wonder if the gardenia is also easy to grow wild in the open.
Today, more and more species, from a small-leaved large-leaved, small-flowered large flowers, and even now there are double flowered.
Initially, even until now, the color white dominated, but now there are also yellow.
“There is also gardenias flower color from white to yellow. So, when young white, for yellow over time, “said Ir. Slamet Budiarto, Operations Manager Godong Ijo, Sawangan, who also developed various types of gardenias.
Rajin Flower
Gardenia actually includes a large crop protection. No wonder if he has a decent editorial meeting.
Height can reach 5 meters in the open. However, if we are planting gardenias when small, and often trimmed, gardenias can also become a kind of short shrubs, with 1 to 1.5 meters high.
Gardenia is also wonderful in the garden or potted plant because it has a lush leaf (compact) as well as with interest.
“So not only can be a shade tree, it is also feasible planted in pots (pot plant),” said Slamet. This single-leaved plant, with oval-shaped leaves ovate or elongated.
Better in the Open
Gardenia can flourish in places open and exposed to direct sunlight. Also suitable is planted in an area of about 400-600 meters high above sea level.
If planted in a somewhat protected, although still able to live and blossom, but the results are not as good in an open location.
Gardenias from large-leaved species only able to hold two days. Cuma, said Slamet, when they bloom in unison, it looks very exotic and uniformly white. “Although only hold two days, he can continue to bloom and go, even in the rainy season though. Usually, the type of plants that require full heat is not flowering in the rainy season, but not gardenias. He can still flowering in the rainy season, “continued Slamet.
Balanced NPK
The most common gardenia Propagation is by grafting, but can also by cuttings and grafting. Because the truth is a kind of shade plants, when planted in pots, it requires a fairly heavy planting media.
“Media cropping is a mixture of red soil, charcoal, husk, cocopeat, plus a little manure. Roots very quickly, so if we use the very crust of the media, during the dry season should be watered frequently, especially if the pot too small. We recommend that you select a pot that is large enough compared tajuknya, “said Slamet.
However, in general, relatively easy to care gardenia. Watering is done once a day, ie every morning. Fertilization can be done two times a month with a balanced NPK. Occasionally (10 days) must be given to insecticides and fungicides to prevent pest attack.
“Hamanya baseball a lot, really, the only white worms and lice. This mealybug will breed well in humid areas or too dense, or if gardenias planted in the shade of other trees. If planted in open areas, many pests will not attack, “said Slamet.
