From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The genus Mammillaria is one of the largest in the cactus family Cactaceae, with currently 171 known species and varieties recognized. The first was described by Carolus Linnaeus as Cactus mammillaris in 1753, deriving name from Latin mammilla = nipple, referring to the tubercules that are one of the plant's specific features. In 1812, the cactus specialist Adrian Haworth described the genus Mammillaria to contain this and related species.The distinctive feature of the genus is the specific development of an areole, that is split into two clearly separated parts, one occurring at the tubercule's apex, the other at its base. The apex part is spine bearing, and the base part is always spineless, but usually bearing some bristles or wool. The base part of the areole bears the flowers and fruits, and is a branching point. The apex part of the areole does not carry flowers, but in certain conditions can function as a branching point as well.The plants are usually small, globose to elongated, the stems from 1 cm to 20 cm in diameter and from 1 cm to 40 cm tall, clearly tuberculate, solitary to clumping forming mounds of up to 100 heads and posses radial symmetry. Tubercules can be conical, cylindrical, pyramidal or round. The roots are fibrous, fleshy or tuberous. The flowers are funnel-shaped and range from 7 mm to 40 mm and more in length and in diameter, from white and greenish to yellow, pink and red in color, often with a darker mid-stripe. The fruit is berry-like, club-shaped or elongated, usually red but sometimes white, yellow or green. Some species have the fruit embedded into the plant body. The seeds are black or brown, from 1 to 3 mm in size. Mammillarias have extremely variable spination from species to species, and attractive flowers, making them specifically attractive for cactus hobbyists. Mammillaria plants are considered easy in cultivation, though some species are among the hardest cacti to grow.Most of the mammillarias are native to Mexico, but some come from the southwest USA, the Caribbean, Colombia, Venezuela, Guatemala and Honduras.

Mammillaria
Moonlight cactus From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Moonlight cacti or (genus Selenicereus) is a poorly defined cactus genus found in Central America, the Caribbean and northern South America. Description Clambering plants with flat to angled stems, producing aerial roots. Areoles may be with or without spines. Flowers are large and nocturnal, pollinated by moths or rarely bats. The receptacle bears small bracts, hairs and usually spines. Fruits bear numerous spines. Etymology Its generic name is derived from the old Greek moon goddess Selene, referring to the nocturnal flowers. The term Nightblooming Cereus is sometimes used here, but this is also used for many night blooming cacti, including Epiphyllum, Hylocereus and Peniocereus.
Carnegiea gigantea, giant saguaro.
Hylocereus undatus, night blooming cereus
Hylocereus undatus, night blooming cereus. This well-known Punahou hedge cactus has many perianth segments and stamens. Note also the several pale yellow stigmas visible in the lower front part of the flower. The sectional view shows numerous parietal ovules in the single locule of the inferior ovary.
Opuntia cochenillifera, prickly pear.
Opuntia cochenillifera, prickly pear. Note the numerous perianth segments and stamens and several green stigmas in this typical cactus flower. The ovary is sunken into the stem at the bottom of the photo. Also visible here are several areoles bearing bristles that would persist as the fruit matures.
Pereskia grandifolia, Cactaceae, pereskia.
Pereskia grandifolia, Cactaceae, pereskia. Large shrub from Brazil with clusters of pink or white rose-like flowers, each about one and a half inches in diameter. Although the plant bears a few spines that are characteristic of cacti, it is one of only a few species that also bear large foliage leaves.
Cactus
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia; For other meanings, see Cactus (disambiguation). This article is about the plant family. For the genus Cactus, see Mammillaria, Melocactus, and Opuntia. A cactus (plural cacti, cactuses or cactus) is any member of the succulent plant family Cactaceae, native to the Americas. They are often used as ornamental plants, but some are also crop plants. Cacti are distinctive and unusual plants, which are adapted to extremely arid and hot environments, showing a wide range of anatomical and physiological features which conserve water. Their stems have expanded into green succulent structures containing the chlorophyll necessary for life and growth, while the leaves have become the spines for which cacti are so well known.Cacti come in a wide range of shapes and sizes. The tallest is Pachycereus pringlei, with a maximum recorded height of 19.2 m,[1] and the smallest is Blossfeldia liliputiana, only about 1 cm diameter at maturity.[2] Cactus flowers are large, and like the spines and branches arise from areoles. Many cactus species are night blooming, as they are pollinated by nocturnal insects or small animals, principally moths, bats, and sheep. Cacti's sizes range from small and round to pole-like and tall.

Rough-skinned orange
"In any country, we still find difficulty in rough-skinned orange. In fact the demand is not only coming from within the country. Especially, for the company based its production of rough-skinned orange, "Orange said of the rough-skinned Batu - Malang, Prambudi.
Of at least rough-skinned citrus in the country, because of lack of information about the opportunities and benefits in general. Perform rough-skinned citrus cultivation, Prambudi words, not as the be. He even the rough-skinned citrus cultivation, only have capital knee alias not much capital.
Basic Treatment
In the rough-skinned citrus cultivation, according to Prambudi, basically not much difference with the lime treatment in general. Implementation of some treatment that can be done, which are:
1. Branch Trimming
During the trimming process, some of the factors considered. For example, the calculation of benefits that include stability, plant productivity, the ability of living and quality of fruit, the development of pest and disease treatment and obstructed the garden.
This is also dibarengi with the trimming technique, the primary crop and crop maintenance. For basic barbershop, is the trimming is done after the plant has higher than 60 cm. This is done with the goal to get the branching and form a better tree, so that may be in optimal ease and garden care.
Cutting the main stem, the shoot, and the selection and maintenance of the main branch of the stage base trimming. While for crop maintenance, carried out simultaneously or after the harvest. The goal is to maintain the health, stability and quality of fruit production, and for the renovation and establishment of tree profiles.
2. Fruit thinning
Thinning on the fruit trees that have dense aimed to improve fruit quality and stability in the next harvest season. That is, the ideal time for the thinning is done at the time of fruit diameter reached 1-2 cm.
3. Terms grow
Given that, viability and productivity, optimum treatment depends on the plant growth, then there are several factors that need to be. For example, climate, planting media, and the altitude. For the climate, for example. Wind speed of more than 40-48% will merontokkan flowers and fruit, so that the alternative to the intensity and speed of the wind more than the standard level, higher plants should be planted windbreak row perpendicular to the direction of the wind.
Demikan case with the implementation of the planting media. Ideally for the rough-skinned orange, good soil is sandy loam to clay with enough humus, water governance, and good air. Soil type and Latosol andosol is also another alternative that is suitable for citrus cultivation.
Is also supported with the ground water level is at the optimal depth of 150-200 cm below the soil surface, where crops like citrus salt water containing about 10%. Citrus plants can grow well in areas with a slope of about 30 °. In the case where the height, the plant for this type of rough-skinned citrus can be grown both in the height of 1-400 m dpl.
The process of
As the seed requirements of rough-skinned citrus seedlings planted came from ordinary vegetative multiplication, which is a continuation shoot tip, where the system of regular in this area and land pesawahan cycle. However, if planted in the hilly area, you can use to create an alternative planting sengkedan.
While for the land to be planted, should be cleaned from other plants or the remains of plants. To measure the distance ideally planting 6 × 7 m, is adjusted to the rough-skinned citrus character growth. In making the planting hole need any special techniques, ie can only be applied to the land that is not processed within 2 weeks, in which the land separated from the top layer (up to 25 cm).
"With applications coming from the ground up and mixed layer manure. After planting, the land returned to the place of origin. Similarly with bedengan size m 1 × 1x1 is only made if the rough-skinned citrus area of land planted in rice, "said Prambudi.
Unlike the other types of plants, planting techniques citrus seedlings can be planted in the rainy season or dry season. But, according to Prambudi, should be planted at the beginning of the rainy season. After the seeds ditaman, siram secukupnya and given mulsa straw, coconut leaves or leaves that are free of disease in the surrounding areas. Mulsa place in such a way, that does not touch the stem to avoid stem rot.
As an alternative overlapping essence - be in production before the plant - the plant mixture can be planted, such as nuts or vegetables. After each canopy cover, plant mixture was replaced by grass or ground cover plants legum which also functions as penambah nitrogen for citrus plants. [santi]
Treatment Plant
1. Use plants that can survive in the media hydrogel is that plants can survive in wet media, among other Aglaonema sp, Scindapsus sp, sp Cripthantus, Dracaena sp (emerald bamboo), Pilea cadieri (leaf-pearl), Anthurium sp, sp Diffenbachia, Philodendron sp, Cyperus sp (umbrella grass), Cordyline sp (various types of hanjuang) dll.
2. Get enough sunlight.
3. Sprinkling and fertilization can be done once a month. Use a fertilizer that does not damage the color of hydrogel (eg gandapan, hyponex) and use appropriate doses.
4. Avoid the sun's direct light, this is the color of pale hydrogel and mildew growth on the hydrogel. www.horties.com

Handling of white pest infestation
Technique and practice simple multiplication Aglaonema way stek stem.
Aglaonema species excellent source of North Sumatra
A. rotundum though is the only species that have an important role in the eruption colors red gala on silangan-Aglaonema silangan commercial, less attention, which should have been by various parties that can help maintain kelestariannya in nature.
This was to review some important things about this plant and is expected to be material information in the discussions diadakannya encourage concrete actions necessary to prevent kepunahannya in nature.
Criterion A. rotundum well, as follows:
* Red leaves on the surface of the top and bottom
* Red leaves are linear and the meeting between the (white ribbed rather step)
* Thick leaves
* Rounded egg-shaped leaves
* Leaves the position of flat / flat or as salad
* The leaves form a corner 30
* Short leaf stalk
* The meeting between the rod segment
* Trunk upright (because dihabitat vine)
Cultivation Rotundum Aglaonema
Cultivation
* Media planting In the original habitat this plant grows in humus layer that is ideal for growth. In pembudidayaan this plant can be planted in the media of humus, charcoal, bran, husk obsolete, coarse sand and garden soil that is used alone or a mixture.
* Sprinkling Sprinkling can be done 3 - 4 days once, with a sprinkling diselingi liquid fertilizer given 2 - 3 weeks.
* Lighting This plant is able to be planted in the bottom rack of plants still get a light side. Growth is estimated that the ideal can be obtained with the lighting around 30 - 40%.
* Multiplication Plant this easy-up with the stem cutting or seeds as well as other types of Aglaonema.
* Pemberantasan pests and diseases Plants attacked by this common pest that attacks the types of Aglaonema the other. Worm-adult worm Sphingidae able melalap out 1 - 2 pieces of leaves in the night. Worm-worm is able to clear Noctuidae stem-stem serangannya in a few days. Pest-eradication of pests and other pests easy to do with spraying with insecticide sistemik.Penyakit rotten stem and leaf is the most difficult problems solved in pembudidayaan A. rotundum, Erwinia bacteria as one of the causes is very difficult if the plant has been eliminated fell ill. Efforts to attack the disease can be done through sprinkling at the time the media has been quite dry and avoid excessive sprinkling. Diseases that appear in pembudidayaan place is a major cause havoc collections living A. rotundum in various nurseri. KONTES A. ROTUNDUM Activities pursuivant sertaan A. rotundum selection results in the race for the race Aglaonema held special classes for A. rotundum as dirintis and carried out by sdr. Frans Kusdianto (Alm) in Semarang. Cross A. ROTUNDUM Efforts to make cross between clone should be taken seriously because this is the way through the clone-clone A. rotundum a more beautiful and disease resistance can be produced so that the value of commercial clone-clone A. rotundum results we can improve cultivation.

of bacteria, fungus infections, convulsions, pain, injury and disruption stomach,
tumor, cramps and allergic reactions. Ginger extract that is closely in accordance
standard gingerol, the extract does not lose the taste and aroma of ginger
sharp. Research on animal experiments in mice that do in china and the state - west of the State, showed that fresh ginger powerful to ease pain and infection.
Experiments in vitro (laboratory) showed that ginger prevent oxidation
(antioxidants are =) so that it can reduce the risk of cancer, and also
hindered the growth of bacteria. Ginger is also beneficial for blood circulation.
Rimpang plants, this property has antikoagulan (anti-thrombosis) is more

tried the ginger to treat migraine. This push in ayurveda therapy to treat
disturbances in the nervous system. Savor ginger as migraine drugs is still need further research. In general, research ginger preferred to see the effect of digestion.
China in the country, the results of research carried out showed that human terhdap
drink made from fresh ginger can reduce stomach acid sekresi for several hours.
Then increased again after a long time. Other research says that dried ginger
root aakan strengthen stomach, small intestine and prevent vomiting.
Latest research shows aseton and Methanol extracts that came from ginger have
a strong effect to prevent the occurrence of tukakl (injury) in the
