Beautiful Sakura Flower
Gardening August 8th, 2009
Unique Sakura Indonesia
Then, why Sakura is in Cibodas Botanical Garden can bloom twice a year? According to Dwi, Cibodas Botanical Garden has the same height with the original habitat of Sakura.
“Also in Japan, right, there are 4 seasons, while here only two seasons. After the rainy season, summer switch. Well, Sakura will look better in summer. Contours of land, how to care, and climate causes flowering Cibodas 2 times. ”
Cycle through which Sakura is diawalai with the growing leaves around branches of the tree first. When the rainy season, the leaves will turn yellow and fall. When summer comes, then will grow flowers.
“From bud to blossom, the flowers will last for a week. Unfortunately, the weather conditions are difficult to predict, sometimes accompanied by hot winds and rain, Sakura flowers will easily fall out. But then the leaves will grow again.”
In Japan, Sakura propagation can only be done through cuttings and seeds. The botanical garden Cibodas, protracted Dwi, Sakura can be reproduced by transplanted. Even if Sakura wants to plant in a location that tends temperature heat, such as Jakarta, Sakura will only grow leaves, but will not bloom.
Sakura will only bloom and grow well if planted at high altitudes and low temperatures (cold). “The Japanese who come here claiming wondered why it could Sakura bloom twice. Finally, they become challenged to grow Sakura here, and given the initials of their names,” said Dwi.
Not Growing Simultaneously
In 2002, Ir. Holif Immamudin who was then serving as head of Cibodas Botanical Garden, began to see the uniqueness of Sakura. He finally asked Sakura to be reproduced by distek, transplanted, seeds and seedlings.
“Propagation through cuttings results for some time. Cankok way proved most successful, while the seeds are not very good results and quite slow,” said Holif which took a visit to Japan to learn more about Sakura.
Finally, the number of Sakura in Cibodas Botanical Garden 300 increased until it reaches the tree. However, continued Holif, there are some weaknesses of Sakura planted here, which is not growing in unison. However, on the other hand it is precisely this which was the excess.
In Japan, according to Holif, when Sakura flowers had fallen out, had to wait another year to go back to enjoy the beauty of flowers. While in Cibodas Botanical Garden, Sakura growth that does not simultaneously make Sakura flowers are blooming in turn, although only a little flower grow. In Japan, Sakura saun will fall in March-April, to then be replaced with the emergence of a blooming flower.
Another disadvantage, autumn leaves, there is absolutely no Sakura, but Sakura flowers will easily fall, especially if exposed to rain and big wind. However, Holif very grateful, because it did not have to masyakarat so far traveled to Japan and the expensive cost to enjoy the beautiful flowers Sakura. “Enjoy it keindannya of Cibodas,” he said.
Just Choose, Would you like Bamboo or Wood
Exterior August 5th, 2009
Building materials from bamboo and wood is not new. But, if the shape of the whole house can be dismantled and install, attractive, right? In addition to durable, earthquake-resistant as well.
If you imagine a wooden house, maybe that came to mind is the country houses typical American cowboy in the days before. It is not possible, you know, you also have a wooden house like that in Indonesia. No need to worry because the porous wood will gnawed by termites, mildew, or rotting rain and sun.
“Wood is very good iron to make an wood house. Wood of this type, more frequently exposed to water, it is getting stronger, but anti-termite and fungi. The wood used to make the dock as well as most metal timber,” said Rizky Masyani (50) , owner of House of Wood (RK).
Could Own Design
Rizky hard wooden houses known since 1995 through the television show. Since seeing the advantages of wood houses, which among other removable because making unloading system pairs (knock down), Rizky interested. In 2004, he asked to his friend to look directly into the wooden house construction in Tomohon, Sulawesi.
To fulfill his desire to do business wooden houses, Rizky cooperate with one manufacturer there. However, because Terhadang constraints, cooperation ended. In 2006, Rizky create their own business, until now.
With a direct jump to the field, he came to know the production process. Once felled, the wood beams made large, then swiped the desired size. For a board, to be processed again the floor, frame, walls, and so on. Some of this timber is made in Tomohon, some are made at the prospective location of a client’s home.
The size of the house can be made to order clients, although RK provides examples of their houses for the various types. Saturn models for example, type 80, while the Mercury type 36. Most, when the first came, the client does not carry the design. However, 12 children’s father said this, “No matter if the client already has his own design.”
As the name implies, all the houses made of wood RK. Except roof made of tiles. Again, the word Rizky, it was not a requirement. “There are clients who asked for the house of two levels, one concrete, one wood, yes, no problem for us.”
Similar Investment
Once the design is approved, then do the construction preparation. If the building is made full of wood, all wood made in Tomohon. “If mixed, made in the prospective location of the house. Making his own home takes 2 – 3 months,” explained Rizky who also received the work yard and garden as well.
On price, for the current USD 2.75 juta/m2 to full houses berpapan single timber and USD 3.5 juta/m2 to double board. Single board means the board walls using only one layer of wood, while the double uses two layers for the wall board for the whole house so that the house be more soundproof.
While for the house mix, the price can be more expensive, could also be vice versa. “Depending on the material used for concrete. The price will also be more expensive when the client asked for special designs.”
Most, said men who have these 50 employees, clients booked for the villa wooden house, the property company’s marketing offices, cafes, hotels (cottage type), shelter, gazebo, even a mosque that was built in separate from the house.
