FENOLOGI PEMBUNGAAN PADA TANAMAN WIJAYA KUSUMA (Ephiphylum oxypetalum)
Abstract: Research of
flowering phenology has been conducted on Wijaya Kusuma (Ephiphylum
oxypetalum). The study was conducted in September 2012 - February 2013. This
research aims to determine the effect of light and wind to the flowering
phenology in E. oxypetalum. Total of 20 pots of Wijaya Kusuma placed at two
different locations. Total of 10 pots of Wijaya Kusuma placed at quite light with
lot of wind, and 10 pots placed in the shade with little wind. Wijaya Kusuma
were placed in theshade vegetative growth faster than the others. Wijaya Kusuma
were placed in quite light with lot of wind begun flowering at 8-16 weeks after
planting. Flowering begun with the appearance ofprospective interest in
phylocladia node. Candidates flowers will bloom on the ninth day and bloomonly
1-2 hours at midnight. Flowers wither on the tenth day and fall on day
thirteen. Wijaya Kusuma were placed in the shade and a little wind is not
flowering, but flowering may be induced by placing its in a bright place and a
lot of wind. In this study concluded that wind and light affect the process offlower
formation in plants Wijaya Kusuma.
