Abstrak: Rhipsalis (Rhipsalis baccifera) is an epiphytic cactus marketed as an ornamental plant. It has a unique segmented dangling plant structure with a beautiful reddish color at the tip of the shoot. This study aimed to determine the number of cutting segments and the proper planting media for the propagation of rhipsalis cuttings. The method used was a randomized block design with two factors and four replications. The number of cutting segments (one and two segments) is the first factor. The second factor is planting media (rice-hull charcoal, rice-hull charcoal + zeolite, rice-hull charcoal + chopped ferns, rice-hull charcoal + pumice). The rhipsalis cuttings executed has the percentage of rooted cuttings at 100% and the percentage of cuttings sprouting at 96.85%. The results showed that there is no interaction between the two factors. The two factors each affect the number of buds, articles/internodes, nodes, and segments, root length, branches wet weight and root wet weight. Two segments cuttings or rice-hull charcoal + chopped fern media showed the best cuttings growth.

Abstrak: Indonesia as an archipelagic country has a coastline and partly overgrown with mangrove forest which is the dominant type of coastal areas. However, at present the mangrove forests have been degraded which causes a decrease in forest potency. The effort that can be done to improve the return potential of these mangrove forests is by rehabilitation of mangrove forest. Rhizophora sp., including the type of Rhizophora stylosa Griff., is a pioneer tree species in the mangrove forest which has an important meaning in the mangrove forest etablishment. The main problem of this type of R. stylosa that is the seed classified into the recalcitrant ones. Therefore, the technique of seed storage is a very important activity to be developed for supporting the success of mangrove rehabilitation activities that have been degraded. The purpose of this study is to discover the influence of storage media, storage room, and time of storage on the propagule viability of R. stylosa, and to compare the R. stylosa propagule germination potential between cutting test and directly propagule germination test results. The research was conducted at the greenhouse and Silviculture Laboratory, Faculty of Forestry IPB and Seed Technology Research Institute Laboratory (BPTP), Bogor. This study used a factorial experiment with completely randomized design (CRD) factorial 5x2x2 with 3 replicates. The details of the factors are: factor A (time of storage) consists of A0 (0 weeks), A1 (1 week), A2 (2 weeks), A3 (3 weeks), and A4 (4 weeks); factor B (storage room) consists of B1 (AC room) and B2 (living room); and factor C (storage media), consists of C1 (sawdust) and C2 (coconut husk). The data collected is propagule viability, the percentage of rooted propagule, moisture content of propagule, propagule germination, germination value of propagule, the growth rates of propagule and shoot and seedling root to ratio of R. stylosa. Based on these results, it is known that the influence of interaction between treatment storage time, storage room, and storage media caused a significant difference to variable germination propagule R. stylosa. The influence of interaction between storage time and storage media caused significant differences on germination, germination value, the growth rates of propagule, and seedling root to shoot ratio of R. stylosa. The influence of interaction between storage room and storage media caused significant differences to the percent of rooted propagule R. stylosa. In this study, coconut husk media storage that is placed in the air conditioner room capable to maintaining the viability of R. stylosa propagule until the time of storage for 4 weeks. The result of estimation R. stylosa propagule viability with cutting test is relatively similar with the directly propagule germination test results.
