Why, yes? Yard which borders the road is closed 180cm tall fence. This fence was open because wake of a series of metal shaped like a twig. But outside the fence on the side of tea-tree tehan (duranta) as high as 2m.

The tea-growing tehan was tight and flat cut from the outside and inside the fence. This is what makes the fence a “closed”. Even the existence of an iron fence not visible from the outside. Duranta precisely as an effective noise filter, but it’s also a good dust barrier.
Bagitulah, so we would not be surprised if the noise and dust much less when we are in this residential area. In addition, residents also get privacy because the atmosphere behind the fence not visible from the outside.

Side of the fence lined planted iris. High slices no more than 40cm. When compared with the high duranta reach 2m, composition interesting contrast. Mini elephant grass planted around the iris, the more complete the greens in the garden area.

Furthermore, layangkanlah point of view of the entire yard. There is a fish pond at the side entrance to the main door. Floor path to the main door is made from sheets of solid wood boards. On the other side of the pond, but the spread of miniature elephants, plants are also planted flowers.

In the middle of the park, the road is made of cement and sand combined with coral brushes. The flow path rectangular, with a variety of sizes. Therefore, the display platform so there’s no monotony.

One corner of the overgrown bushes, while the other side of the park is treated with a simple design. Alloy bushes with a clean design that really enrich the atmosphere of this park.

Variety types of pots or jars in merchant plants, indicating that the popularity of this plant containers are rampant. You interested? Check first tricks!

Along the centers of ornamental plants, rows or crock pots are now looks increasingly varied. Various basic materials, sizes, colors and models available to choose from. No doubt all of them suggests that the popularity of this plant containers are rampant. You are interested also to use it in the park? Consider the following tips first.

Different pots and jars
The word ‘pot’-derived from English and Dutch, with clear reference to an object that serves as a container plant. Container here can mean two. The first, ornamental plants grown in pots directly on it, after first pot filled with planting media. The second, the pot is just as “display devices”, in which the pot is only “wrap” the original container plants (usually bad). This is especially if the pot is an expensive item, rare or antique.

Meanwhile, container jar is usually made of clay-wide mouth. Although barrel labeled (high, narrow-mouthed), also belong to the family jug. Initially more jars serve as a container of water, but gradually also be used as a container plant. Just as pots, ornamental plants can be planted directly, or with the pot, put in jars. Generally more jars used for water plants, but is fine if used to grow plants using soil planting medium.

Basic materials and properties Plants
Variety of pots and jars are now offered is made from a variety of basic materials; clay, mortar, ceramic, porcelain, plastic, even wood. Finishing or finishing touches were varied. Left plain in accordance with the basic material color, ornaments were prominent (like profiles), affixed porcelain mosaics, pebbles. colored, and glazed. Everything is done to crock pot and look good in accordance with the tastes of each consumer.

But before buying, you should first consider the basic material properties and container plants that will be placed in it, especially if the container is planned to accommodate the planting medium and plants. For example pots or jars of clay has the character axis, causing rapid water seeping out so fast dry planting medium.

So for pots and clay jars to choose plants that require less water much like mirten, tah-tehan, and type of succulent. Or select where to place the pot a bit shady. If this trick that you choose, be sure to choose plants that like shade (for example type of semi-in – door).

If the container is used to water plants (jars and pots of clay high and wide mouth), the inside of pots and clay jars to first coated with grout to cover the pores of the wall.

To pot or jar of mortar, its also berporus but slightly more resistant than clay tebuat. Instead plastic pots / fiber is waterproof and air. Weakness or crock pot is a plastic spray evaporation of excess water that hampered the media too often the soil wet. As a result the roots of the plant will rot.

If you use plastic pots, make sure that the holes in the bottom of the pot quite a lot. And 1 / 3 the bottom of the pot should be charcoal, rock or pumice stone and enhanced with a buffer of brick or iron. Thus the excess water in the pot will easily flow out. Until now, plastic jars or rather buckets, often used as an ornamental plant traders container of water plants. But the water plant will usually grow more perfect when planted directly in the container, the amount of clay adequate.

Crock pot and a ceramic or porcelain is also airtight and water. Although both are made from natural ingredients, after the combustion process, the pores will close. Shown luxurious, expensive and heavy, this type is more often used as display devices.

Meanwhile, the pot is more suitable for timber plants using chopped fern planting media, such as maidenhair ferns, kadaka, elephant ears, or orchids, because the wood resist moisture well enough. Jars of wood (ravine), can also water plants for containers, provided the first inside coated with asphalt to waterproof.

Model and Size
Buying or crock pots require a wise consideration. In addition to the basic ingredients, the amount of the pot should be considered in order to be able to anticipate the growth of plants. After all this time, plant size and shape will change. That is taller and wider. Could be, containers and plants are appearing in the initial matching of planting becomes more disproportionate. The next container is too narrow will certainly inhibit the growth of plant roots, which in turn also reduces the appearance of perfection plants.

Physical form of the plant should also be adjusted to the shape and height of the container. For example, the plant canopy is rounded and broad match will show if the container is not too high and convex. While rising shaped plant requires a rather high containers are to appear balanced. Similarly to the nature of plants hanging down.

Model crock pot or not to be ignored, especially when these objects to be used as a decorative element of the park. Avoid choosing a model that is too crowded pots when the size of the park is very limited. The shape / model firmly underlined, simple in appearance, it will stand out when placed in the park.

Fixed empty Okay
In addition to display devices ornamental plants, pots and jars are now beginning to function as an aesthetic element in the garden. Although empty without plants, but if the materials, shapes, and colors selected container and tastefully placed, then the container will only appear ornamental and serves as a point of interest tamanyang charming.

For example, a small park that was already able to enchant the eye. Simply “capitalize” a keg, crock, or a high pots, some small plants in the legs, green grass, and a little pavement.

Similarly, if a few pots of terracotta or clay plain and simple, consisting of various shapes and filled with plants of the same type, arranged artistically in a group. The result will make you proud!

Plural, people prefer the room rather than the page. That is, if you build a house, pursued for possible houses built, so get as much room as possible, and as little as possible disisakan pages. This usually applies to people who have a small house. It may even, if there are no rules GSB (demarcation line of the building), houses will be built sepenuhan area.

But not so with Yudiana (32). The man who is still single is actually willing to “shrink” building to get a big yard. Front yard and back yard allowed to remain at large. Then what happened to this page?

Park Home
This page was by Yudi used the media to devote to plant hobby. Though not very large, neat arrangement makes it look elegant gardens and beautiful. This gives added value to this little house, so he looks different from the houses next to it.

In the front yard, grass covered land howl and there are more than 10 kinds of plants, ornamental plants leaves most small size. There is a tongue-in-law, the chicken’s comb, tail squirrels, and some types of bayem-bayeman. As a “monument” was used palm and pine bottle shrimp. Tall plants placed in the middle, while the lower plants built around the edge of the park. A spotlight is placed in the middle of the park, shooting at the house. Just unfortunately, because we were shooting during the day, the spotlight effect is not visible.

Unlike the front garden, rear garden is not covered grass, but given the paving of small stones.

Trick Room
Because the park at the front and rear large enough, the building was forced to back down. Then the question is, how to deal with the division of space in this little house, in order to stay comfortable. This spaces are available.

First, a small terrace just created, without any objects placed there. Though small, the terrace is used by Yudi to put the home accents. The column was coated with a stone terrace fitted times by nat-in (nat not visible from the outside), and given a coating which gives a darker color. This stone columns natural touch to this house.

Second, the living room again placed with the family room. But despite these two continuous spaces, laying device couch and TV shelf delineate clearly the family room, without the need for insulation.

Third, kitchen situated next to the living room, but with the insulation of high wall approximately 80 cm-90 cm. Separator is useful to hide the kitchen items that are sometimes not considered beautiful. But because of the high is not until 1 meter, the view from the living room to the kitchen is not obstructed.

Fourth, the main bedroom is placed in front, adjacent to the living room. This bedroom, according to Yudi, created with customized size requirements. So before making plans, Yudi was counting any goods which will be placed in this room, and size of these items. Planning is very smart!

Fifth, the dining room was removed. Given the size of the house is quite small, and only occupied by one person, Yudi choose to “throw” the dining room. Daily meals can be done on the couch in front of the TV. Thus, this house was not too narrow. Later, when needed, the dining room could be placed in the backyard. Maybe a folding glass doors can make this dining room as if it merged with the inside of the house.

Absolute trimming done in order to look and canopy plants are always nice and neat garden.

Generally the question will be the title of this article can be directly answered correctly and quickly, namely: that the display / canopy plants are always nice and neat garden. Are not humans on a regular basis also must cut hair and nails? If not, what would happen? This opinion is correct, but several factors below should also note in order to “bear” cut the plants very loved.

During the plant is still alive, the plant will continue to grow to the size limit is destined by nature. Hibiscus plants are not from the cross for example, if the left can reach a height from 2.5 to 3 m. After that the main stem will grow larger, branches and the branches grew a lot. Yet when planted, it may not have time imaginable.

What Trimming Benefits?
Besides beautify and balance of plant, pruning is basically maintenance effort, which refers to the benefit or purpose, as follows.

- Manage and direct the growth
Trimming intentionally done if we want to maintain the natural shape of the plant concerned. It could happen that some plants may not receive the bulk of the sun, as blocked by the wall, for example. Thus obtain the bulk plants enough sunlight to grow more quickly, and the original form of the plant canopy began irregular. At times like this that plants need pruning in order to view its shape remains as expected.

Trimming can also be done because we want the plant forms a very distinct from its natural form. The treatment is popular with Topiary term. Topiary is the art of pruning plants that were born in Europe in the XIV century. Topiary plants are newly formed after growth reached a certain height. When young, in addition to the main stem not rising, twigs and leaves were not thick enough to be formed.

Trimming can also be done because we want a certain height. For example we want the mangoes are planted not too high. Therefore, from the beginning planted, branches and twigs that arise from the main trunk of mango trees, always cut out. Through this way the plants height will be obtained as expected

- Stimulate the growth of flowers and fruit
Plants naturally possess to survive (survival) when the branch or twig deliberately harmed (cut / cut). This can be seen in plants such as pandanus Bali, frangipani, glass plates, and myrtle. After a cut / trimmed, in the not too long, the location of these pieces will be pushed more than one new branch buds, which would later give the branch (branch) and the flowers are more numerous and more are also more fruit. From this form might be saying: lost one, grow a thousand.

-Save the plants
Without hope, sometimes we love plants instead become a source of spread of disease to other plants. Pests such as fleas, worms, snails, ants, and grasshoppers, who liked to attack and devour the leaves, stems, flowers, even the roots of plants, can be overcome with pesticides. But if the plants attacked by fungal diseases, bacterial or viral infectious, do not hesitate to cut / trim sections of the feared disease would spread to other plants. If you need to cut down on the base of the branch, leave the main stem.

-Nourished and healthy
Branches and twigs are damaged or dry it should be cut out. But sometimes need to be more daring cut, thin plant parts that are still healthy, so that air, sunlight, water spray, or rain water penetrated into all parts of the canopy as a whole. Trimming efforts are very helpful to healthy plant growth and fertility. Generally, pests or diseases that attack the living conditions are filthy headline (the dust), moist, and dark (as solid). Especially fungal spores, easy to attack the branches and twigs and moss moist. In addition to saving the plant, trimming it to make the plants beneath it still gets enough sunlight.

-Extending the age and rejuvenate
Plants are allowed to grow naturally as it is, at some point can become malnourished. The process of distribution of nutrients in the soil to all parts of the plant will slow down, because its scope further away from the surface of the ground. Leaf water evaporation was also higher, particularly if not accompanied by adequate watering. Through pruning, leaf canopy will be reduced. Similarly, leaf water does not evaporate quickly. So the action is an attempt rejuvenation pruning and prolong the life of plants, especially at high shrubs.

Crop Creep
Like other plants, vines need pruning, especially of thunbergia, Alamanda, bougainvillea, and stepanot purple. Perform pruning after flowering is complete so that new branches arise even more. Thus came the buds of new flowers.

In addition, the vines must be pruned more often, especially when the stems contain wood. Twigs dry more often found on the inside of the pergola. Dry branches will interfere with the fertility of crops or bring down the pergola.

There are plants trimmed Unnecessary
Not all plants need pruning. Growing plants such as family merumpun Heliconia, kana, bromelia, ginger-jahean, or lily paris for example, did not sprout. As adults these plants actually have merumpun and new shoots (children). Better parent plants removed (split), because the parent plant will not bloom again (not productive). Solving the plant aims to provide opportunities to each child grow crops for themselves, productive and produce children that the new plants, and so on.

Palm family of plants, also does not require pruning at all. Sometimes it takes just cut a few leaves at the bottom of the tree so that more interesting figures. Because naturally, palm leaves that will dry up and the old off by itself (or deliberately released), the rest of the dry base instead pelepahnya appear exotic.

As for bamboo plants, at first it needed pruning by removing branches at the bottom of the main stem to expose the beauty of the main stem at a later date. But if the twigs and leaves is too thick, so the bamboo grows curved down (due to weight), do the trimming as needed.

The uniqueness of Nepenthes is on how he got the food. Not with roots that absorb nutrients from the soil, these plants absorb nutrients from insects trapped in the pocket. Poor insects are destroyed by some kind of stomach acid-like compounds and then sucked sari-sari. That’s why he was able to survive in areas classified as barren.

PLANTS Nepenthes or found ranging from Madagascar in the western part of the world to New Caledonia in the east. In the north he was found in South China and in the south he was in Australia. Most types found in Southeast Asia, especially Indonesia. Of the 103 recorded species of Nepenthes, 61 species grow in the highlands. While the rest live in the lowlands, middle, high up. Most PLANTS in Sumatra, Sabah and Sarawak grew up in the mountains. While in Borneo more Nepenthes that grow in the lowlands.

Do Wrong Choose
Based on the life, PLANTS divided into 3 categories. Highland, medium, and low. The first category live at an altitude above 700 m above sea level. Examples N. adrianii, N. adnata, and N. lowii. Type of terrain was, living at an altitude of 300-700 m above sea level. For example, N. and N. papuana pervillei. Whereas lowland species, 0-300 m above sea level, such as N. thorelii and N. ampullaria.

Habitat Nepenthes growing in the mountains is different from living on the beach. Differences in temperature and humidity are extreme. Lowland Nepenthes and are in need of temperature 27-35 ° C in the daytime and 21-27 ° C at night. While the plateau of temperature takes 21-29 º C for the day and 12-18 º C at night.
Nepenthes enthusiasts of hot temperatures and low humidity will not stand if kept in the mountains. If life, usually does not remove the bag or pouch size smaller. And vice versa, maintaining Nepenthes highland lowland very difficult, except by special treatment. Generally easier to maintain lowland Nepenthes. Examples N. campanulata, N. danseri, N. masoalensis, and N. rowanae. Another option, select the Nepenthes that has a high adaptability, for example, N. hirsute and N. veitchi.

Ideal conditions
Because the usual growing in a barren place Nepenthes did not need complex care. One thing is important, he liked growing medium moist and porous. Planting media must also have good aeration for root growth and support the availability of oxygen for the plants. For irradiation, Nepenthes should be placed in a location that sunlight but not direct.

About the need for water, PLANTS react best when watered with rain water. However, if the condition is not possible, you can still use tap water combined with rain water. Nepenthes should rain drenched with water every month to resemble their natural habitat conditions.
