Golden pothos (Epipremnum aureum)

Sirih gading or golden pothos (Epipremnum aureum) is a species of plant in Araceae, semi-epiphytic, green leaf striped, bright yellow to pale yellow, grows vines on tree trunks with large leaves and covers the host tree and cut branches can survive a long time if the base is immersed in water.

E. aureum grows vines to a height of up to 20 m, stems up to 4 cm in diameter and aerial roots attached to the surface of the host tree. Stems hang down when climbing trees and will elongate roots when they reach ground level and grow onward.

Leaves sit alternately, heart-shaped, intact on young plants but irregular pinnate on adult plants, reaching 100 cm long, 45 cm wide and 20 cm long young leaves. Leaves that grow on dangling stems are usually 10 cm long and are usually cultivated as potted plants.

Golden pothos are very popular as a houseplant with many cultivars for their white, yellow and light green leaves. Often used in decorative displays in shopping malls, offices, other public locations because it is shady, beautiful and doesn't require much maintenance.

Grows wild in the shade, temperature 17-30C, resistant to dry and poor soil conditions. Sirih gading is able to remove indoor pollutants such as formaldehyde, trichloroethene, toluene, xylene, and benzene.

Guinea grass (Panicum maximum)

Guinea grass or buffalo grass or green panic ( Panicum maximum ) is a plant species in Poaceae, annual grasses, growing upright to form clumps, strong, cultivated in all tropical and subtropical regions for very high value as fodder. P. maximum reproduces in very large pols, fibrous roots penetrate into the soil, upright stems, green, 1-1.5 m tall and have smooth cavities for diameters up to 2.5 mm. Propagation is done vegetatively and generatively. Ribbon-shaped leaves with a pointed tip, very many, built in lines, green, 40-105 cm long, 10-30 mm wide, erect, branched, a white linear bone, often covered with a layer of white wax, rough surface by hair short, dense and spread. The flower grows at the end of a long and upright stalk, open with the main axis length to more than 25 cm and the length of the bunches down to 20 cm. Grains have a size of 3x4 mm and oval. Seeds have a length of 2.25-2.50 mm and each 1 kg contains 1.2 - 1.5 million seeds. Guinea grass has two varieties. P...

Purwaceng (Pimpinella pruatjan)

Purwaceng or purwoceng or antanan gunung or Viagra of Java ( Pimpinella pruatjan or Pimpinella priatjan ) are small termas growing horizontally in Apiaceae, growing in villages on Dieng Plateau, Central Java Province, Indonesia, at 1,500 to 2,000 meters above sea level, the roots have medicinal properties for aphrodisiacs and are usually processed in powder form for a mixture of coffee or milk. P. pruatjan grows flat on the ground but does not propagate, small leaves are reddish green for 1-3 cm in diameter. This plant is only found in Java and grows in high mountain areas. A low population where industrial demand is very high results in increasingly scarce. Another place that is likely to become a purwaceng habitat is the Iyang Mountains and the Tengger Mountains in East Java Province. Efforts to multiply and cultivate have a big problem where these plants have difficulty producing seeds. In vitro propagation research through tissue cultivation has been carried out to overcome ...
