Sambung Ngebor Ratu Gurun

Ingat goyang ngebor Inul Daratista? Lima tahun silam penyanyi asal Pasuruan, Jawa Timur, itu menghebohkan dunia dangdut dengan goyangan tak lazim. Gara-gara istilah ngebor hobiis adenium di tanahair pun geger. Bedanya bukan teknik goyang yang diributkan, tapi teknik sambung bor ala Fendi Salim yang unik. Batang bawah bukan dipotong atau disayat membentuk V, tapi ‘dibor’ dengan besi bulat.

Bukan tanpa alasan sambung bor adenium disebut unik. ‘Saya belum mendengar teknik itu. Yang lazim dipakai pekebun ada 4 macam,’ kata Ir Slamet Budiarto, dari PT Godong Ijo Asri. Teknik itu ialah sambung V, sambung sisip, sambung satu mata, dan sambung ala Vietnam. Yang disebut terakhir dikenal juga dengan istilah sambung flat alias rata. Disebut ala Vietnam karena banyak digunakan nurseri di negeri tersebut.

Keempat teknik itu mempunyai kesamaan. Menggunakan plastik lentur sebagai pengikat untuk menyatukan batang bawah dan mata tunas atau batang atas. Plastik populer karena dianggap mudah didapat dan ekonomis oleh pekebun. Namun, bagi pemula proses pengikatan itu menyulitkan. ‘Tunas yang dipakai terlalu kecil, sukar mengikatnya,’ kata Nugraha Susanto, hobiis di Jakarta, mengomentari sambung satu mata dan flat. Sambung V kerap menimbulkan bekas meski sambungan telah menyatu.

Hadirnya sambung bor ala Fendi Salim seolah menjawab kesulitan itu. ‘Tekniknya sederhana. Bekas sambungan tak kentara. Bahannya pun gampang didapat di perkotaan,’ kata Sulastama Raharja, hobiis adenium di Pekanbaru, Riau. Menurut Fendi sambung bor sebetulnya telah lama dipakai pada bonsai. Untuk adenium teknik itu dimodifi kasi lantaran struktur batang adenium bukan kayu keras seperti tanaman bonsai. Batang si ratu gurun itu banyak mengandung air karena tergolong sukulen.

Mudah

Sejatinya sambung bor tak menggunakan bor tangan atau bor listrik sebagai alat. Pipa logam tipis dipakai sebagai pengganti bor. ‘Yang paling mudah menggunakan logam bekas antena atau jemuran,’ kata Fendy. Pipa itu diasah dengan kikir agar berujung tajam dan rata. Penyatuan batang atas dan bawah menggunakan lem super (lem plastik, red).

Menurut Fendi, prinsip utama sambung bor ialah menyesuaikan ukuran entres alias batang atas dengan pipa. Lantaran itu dianjurkan pipa tersedia dalam berbagai ukuran karena ukuran batang atas biasanya bervariasi. Peralatan lain berupa pisau kecil berujung runcing, alkohol, dan tisue bersih.

Teknik sambung bor pun memungkinkan hobiis membuat kreasi baru adenium di luar kelaziman. Misal, setiap cabang bisa dihubungkan dengan cabang lain membentuk segitiga. ‘Membuat konstruksi rumah dari adenium pun bisa,’ kata Fendi.

Menurut Gede Suyono, pemain adenium di Denpasar, Bali, hadirnya sambung bor sebagai teknik baru patut diacungi jempol. ‘Selama ini bekas sambungan yang kentara mengganggu kesan pertama adenium di arena kontes,’ kata pria yang kerap menjuri itu. Namun, menurut Gede untuk tanaman kontes, arah sambungan sebaiknya tetap memperhatikan arah tumbuh cabang. Misalnya, sudut antara batang bawah dan cabang yang tegak lurus mesti dihindari.

The difference is not rocking the fuss technique, but the technique continued drill a unique style of Fendi Salim. Rootstock not be cut or slit form a V, but the 'drilled' by a round iron.

Not without reason Adenium continued drill called unique. 'I have not heard of that technique. Commonly used planters there are 4 kinds, 'said Ir Budiarto Slamet, PT Asri Godong Ijo. The technique is to connect V, connect insert, connect one eye, and continued a la Vietnam. The latter is also known by the alias term flat rate connection. Known widely used as a Vietnam-style nursery in the country.

The four techniques that have something in common. Using a flexible plastic as a binder to unite the lower stem and upper buds or stems. Plastics popular because they are easily available and economically by the planters. However, for the beginner process of binding was difficult. 'Shoots are used are too small, difficult tie, "said Nugraha Susanto, hobbyists in Jakarta, continued to comment on one eye and flat. Connect V often cause scars though the connection has been fused.

The presence of continued drill-style Fendi Salim as difficulty answering it. 'The technique is simple. Former subtle connection. The material is also easily obtained in urban areas, 'said Sulastama Raharja, hobbyists Adenium in Pekanbaru, Riau. According Fendi continued the drill actually has long been used in bonsai. To Adenium dimodifi cation technique because the stem structure rather than hard wood such as Adenium bonsai plants. Stem the queen of the desert contains a lot of water because quite succulent.

Easy

Indeed not connect drill using hand drill or electric drill as a tool. Thin metal tube used as a substitute drill. 'The most easy to use scrap metal antenna or a clothesline, "said Fendy. Pipe was sharpened with a miser so sharp-tipped and flat. The unification of upper and lower stem using super glue (glue plastic, red).

According to Fendi, the main principle is to adjust the size of the drill continued entres alias for the pipe stem. Because it is recommended that the pipe is available in different sizes because the size of the upper stem usually varies. Other equipment in the form of small pointed knife, alcohol, and clean tisue.

Continued drilling techniques allow hobbyists to make any new creations outside the norm Adenium. For example, each branch can be linked with other branches to form a triangle. 'Making a house construction Adenium can, "said Fendi.

According to Gede Suyono, Adenium players in Denpasar, Bali, drill continued presence as a new technique deserves thumbs up. 'During this former connection that first impression subtly disturbing Adenium in the arena of contest,' said the man who often judging it. However, according to plant contest Gede, the connection should still pay attention to the growing branch. For example, the angle between the rootstock and upright branches that must be avoided.
