before I proceed to changing my title, I will tell all readers, that I found this lantana orage plant when I went to my grandfather's garden in the mountains, let's take a closer look at this type of plant.

Lantana is a plant native to Indonesia which is known by several names. because the territory of Indonesia has many languages, cultures, tribes and islands, so this plant has many names, including "telekan", "saliara", "tembelekan", "cente manis" or "sasahangan". These plants are widely planted by the community as flower plants, both flowers in the yard and in parks, many of which grow wild.

Lantana plants are bush plants, the flower shapes are in groups like pom-poms. Each flower has 4 petals and when it blooms the color gradient will spread throughout the flower.

The orange flower color is very attractive, so many people plant it to decorate the garden. The Latin name for the Lantana species that is widely planted as a yard or garden flower is Lantana acuelata L. Meanwhile, another Lantana species, Lantana camara L, belongs to a group of weeds with narrow leaves that are often found in bushes, fields or dry land. Often also found in rice field bunds, especially in Java, Papua, Sulawesi, Kalimantan or Sumatra.

However, not many people know that this plant has properties as an organic pesticide. Both to repel or prevent insects and as a fumigant in fumigation activities. Especially to control pests and diseases in food storage places, seed or seed storage so that the seeds, seedlings or food ingredients are not damaged.

But keep in mind that this plant is toxic to humans and pets. So, if anyone is interested in planting and caring for this lantana orage type plant, then you must put it in a protected place so that it is not easily accessible to children and pets at home, for example, if you plant it in a hanging pot. to keep out of reach of children.
