Vines

One very interesting group of plants that are vines. Indeed, the attention given to the group of plants is not sufficient. Perhaps because of the way of life that propagate impression hassle to handle, and even some types of yagn rapid growth tends to be invasive and menggulma. However, if more attention just a little, will publish a lot of curiosity even further, until we can recognize, know and understand it. 
Vines often used as an ornamental plant. Many beautiful gardens have ornamental pergola of vines. Not the least beautiful of flowering vines. Strands of flowers, foliage, and even buahnyapun often creates the impression of a romantic. Vines are not only attractive in terms of aesthetics. But it is also attractive in terms of biology, how perambatannya, pemamfaataannya in human life, until towards the cultivation. 
Vines are characteristic of tropical forest ecosystems. Bogor Botanical Gardens is a collection of botanical gardens and tropical plant conservation center. No escape as the vines also makes one of his collection. Vines has been a collection since the inception of the Bogor Botanical Gardens itself. Structuring the environment intensively on its own since the beginning since the JE Tejsman (1831-1867). This is because the vine is a plant very abundant tropical areas of our country, both in terms of quantity, type and kepadatanya. The results of the study some biology researchers in the late 1980s showed that about 19% of plant species contained a lowland tropical vines, by liana density that varies following the land area. The density of adult lianas (stem diameter 2.5 cm) in Borneo at 40 individuals / ha. They are a contributor to oxygen and biomass significantly. Of course not only that, the more important reason for the existence of a collection of vines in the Bogor Botanical Gardens is the diversity of function and purpose to human life. 
Another advantage possessed by most of the vines are grown recalcitrant and mullahs. Such properties make the owner is not bothered by the maintenance. Routine maintenance in akukan enough trimming. Conducted every two weeks to once a month. The more rapid growth during the rainy season. 
The vines are often planted as a flowering pot plant. Diameter pots in ¬ use ranges between 20-30 cm. They are very suitable to utilize as topiari. For this purpose, shellfish pots must be equipped ¬ ka. Made with wire or metal. Topiari flowering vines can be displayed in the middle of the park and in front of the gate. 
Maintenance vines 
Way of propagation is done is not difficult. It takes patience. Panhandle plants gradually wrapped in a framework that is already available. So as not easily dislodged tied with plastic straps. Ties can be removed when the rod has been wrapped around a sturdy frame. Topiari shape and shading looks better when the leaves of plants grow lush. 
Fertilization is done once every 1 month. Using the NPK fertilizer. Choose a fertilizer with phosphorus content of more than 50%. Or with NPK ratio of each 0 1 50 30. Plants are planted in pots in ¬ get as much as 1 tablespoon of fertilizer. While the plants are grown directly in the garden portion of the fertilizer given 2 tablespoons and given 3 months. In addition, pruning can also stimulate and increase the number of bunches of flowers produced.

One of the vines Utilization 
The core of the shade is to reduce the levels of sunlight that falls directly onto the floor or floors made our earth. People use a lot of materials from non-natural formations to memperteduh their space. But they forget that the materials they use to make it even more unstable in the neighborhood microclimate.And one way to stabilize the condition is to use vegetation. For people who have a large area, possibly using a tree is not a problem. However, in contrast to when you only have a narrow field. Besides the roots that can damage the walls, the leaves that fall into the neighbor can also pose new problems. 
To overcome this, can we make a shade made from natural ingredients. We know him as the pergola. In the world of landscaping, pergola much in use to create a shade-shade that is natural. With the construction of not meeting creeping plants can grow on the sidelines of construction. Construction is in use can be of wood, iron or other material. Depending on the aesthetic value that will be desired and your favorite.

Pergola is actually a roof structure which is an additional roof of the main roof, the roof where it can be used as an extension / extension roof of the main house or it could also be the structure that stands alone and is located separately from the main roof. At first, the pergola is formed of wood or blocks that are arranged in line (generally serves as a shade) and commonly found in buildings with Mediterranean style. Later in development, the expanded functions of the pergola, which is used to bermacammacam purposes, such as a roof for the swimming pool area, kitchen, and terrace. 
But in general, we are more familiar with the use of the pergola as a closing garage or carport. In subsequent developments, it turns out that the selected material type and variety of structures that are used also participated also undergo change, in line with the new discoveries in the field of technology. At present, we can find a wide range of pergola on the market. 
Pergola many different forms, there is a square, circle, half circle or abstract form. Once again we adjust the existing environmental conditions. Once the pergola is ready and already up, do not forget to provide a place to grow crops. Can a patent or not so easy to maintain and easy to move around.
