Namhlanje siza kuthetha ngesityalo esitshisayo esiseBrazil. Imalunga ne- Aphelandra. Iyaziwa ngegama elidumileyo le-afelandra, iqwarha kunye nesityalo se-indigo. Indawo yokuhlala yendalo yindawo ephantsi komhlaba efumileyo enenani elikhulu lezityalo kwaye ubuninzi bemithi bukhulu. Ifuna ukhathalelo oluthile olulinganisa ukuhlala kwindawo yayo yendalo ukuze ikhule kakuhle.
Ke ngoko, siza kunikezela eli nqaku ukukuxelela zonke iimpawu kunye nokhathalelo olufunwa yiAphelandra.
Iimpawu eziphambili
Sisityalo esaziwa kakhulu ngobuhle bamagqabi aso, yiyo loo nto sifunwa njalo. Yeyosapho lweAcanthaceae apho kukho iintlobo ezingaphezu kwama-200 ezahlukeneyo. Zonke zizalelwe kwiindawo ezishushu zaseMbindi nase Mzantsi Melika, ngakumbi kwimimandla esemazantsi eMexico, emazantsi eArgentina nakumantla eBrazil.
Isisihlahla esime nkqo, esihlala sihlaza esinokudlula kwiimitha ezi-2 ukuphakama kwimeko yaso yendalo. Xa zizityalo ezikhuliswe ezimbizeni, ayinako ukukhula kangako. Iba ziisentimitha ezingama-50 ubude kwaye kunqabile ukuba igqithe kuyo. Iziqu zayo ziyinyama kwaye zinamagqabi alula ohlobo oluchaseneyo. Ubume bamagqabi bu-oblong-elliptical kwaye banomda wonke. Zinde kakhulu, zilinganisa i-20-30 yeesentimitha ubude kunye ne-8-10 yeesentimitha ububanzi. Umbala yeyona nto itsala kakhulu kuba kumnyama buluhlaza kwaye ineembambo ezimhlophe ezenziwe ngophondo lwendlovu. Banesikhumba kwaye bayakhazimla ngaphezulu.
Eyona nto inomtsalane malunga neAphelandra ngumahluko onamagqabi ngokombala oluhlaza oqaqambileyo kunye nemithambo emhlophe yemithambo-luvo. Iyabonakala ngaphezulu kumphezulu wegqabi kunye nombala oluhlaza ocacileyo emazantsi. Iintyatyambo zeAphelandra yenzeka ngasekupheleni kwentwasahlobo nasekuqaleni kwehlobo okoko nje amaqondo obushushu ephezulu kwaye enesidanga esihle sokufuma. Iintyatyambo zii-inflorescence zokubonisa ezinobude beesentimitha ezi-6-15 kwaye zikhatshwa ziipeki ezimbini ezisecaleni ezimfutshane. Eyona spike iphambili yenziwe nge-bract enephepha elifana nelo. Ziyi-inflorescence etyheli kwaye zihlala zihlala malunga neenyanga ezimbini. Ibracts inoxanduva lokuxhasa iintyatyambo.
Ngokuphathelele iziqhamo zayo, zii-capsule ze-dehiscent ezinesentimitha ezi-0.8 kuphela kwaye ziqulathe iimbewu ezi-4 ngaphakathi.
Ukunyamekela iAphelandra
Njengoko besesitshilo ngaphambili, ukuze siyinyamekele kakuhle, ifuna ukuba okusingqongileyo kusondele kangangoko kwindawo esihlala kuyo. Kwindawo yayo yokuhlala yendalo inezinga eliphezulu lokufuma unyaka wonke ukusukela oko iitropiki ziveliswa yimvula ephezulu kunye nokuxinana kwezityalo. Ezi zityalo zinokugcina ukufuma kwendalo kakuhle. I-Aphelandra ifuna indawo yokuba kwindawo eqaqambileyo kodwa engafumani langa ngqo. Kuyacetyiswa ukuba uyibeke endaweni apho ikhuselweyo kwimisinga yomoya. Kwaye kwindawo yayo yendalo ikhuselwe kwilanga kunye nomoya ngqo. Kungenxa yokuba amagqabi ezityalo azinika ukhuseleko kwaye agcina ukufuma.
Ukuba ithe gqolo ukubhencwa elangeni nakwisenzo somoya, amagqabi ayo angawa uthintele ukudubula. Ngokubhekiselele kumaqondo obushushu, amaqondo obushushu avareji ngaphezulu kweedigri ezili-18 ayafuneka. Uluhlu olufanelekileyo lwamaqondo obushushu ukuze isityalo sikhule ngokuchanekileyo liphakathi kwama-21-27 degrees. Emva kweentyatyambo ihlala inexesha elifutshane lokuphumla ngamaqondo obushushu apholileyo kodwa angaze abe ngaphantsi kweedigri ezili-14. Oku kwenza umda wesi sityalo siphezulu kuba kufuneka siqhubeke namaqondo obushushu ehlobo. Ukuba esi sityalo asikho kuluhlu lobushushu olukhankanyiweyo, ngekhe sikwazi ukudubula entwasahlobo nasehlotyeni. Ukuba iyaqhubeka, ukubekeka kumaqondo obushushu asezantsi kunokubangela ukufa.
Iimfuneko zeAphelandra
Siza kubona ngoku ukuba zeziphi iimfuno ezifunwa yi-Aphelandra ukuze zikwazi ukuziphuhlisa kwimeko entle. Into yokuqala ekufuneka siyithathele ingqalelo xa sele sikhethile indawo luhlobo lomhlaba. Umhlaba kufuneka ube ne-asidi okanye ungathathi hlangothi kwaye uhlale ufumile. Isitshixo kulo mhlaba kukuba kufuneka ugcine ukufuma kodwa ungafumani manzi. Ke ngoko, sidinga umhlaba ukuze ube nokuhambisa kakuhle. Imithombo yamanzi yomhlaba kukukwazi ukufunxa unkcenkceshelo okanye amanzi emvula.
I-Aphelandra kufuneka inkcenkceshelwe rhoqo kodwa ngamanzi angakhathaliyo kunye nakubushushu begumbi. Awunyanzelekanga ukuba ulinde i-substrate ukuba yome ngaphambi kokuba unkcenkceshele kwakhona. Kananjalo akufuneki siwele ngaphezulu kwamanzi ukuze umhlaba ungafumani manzi. Isitshixo kukuba umhlaba uhlala ufumile kodwa ngaphandle kwamanzi abalekayo. Ngexesha lokudubula kweentyatyambo kuyacetyiswa ukonyusa ukuphindaphindwa kokunkcenkceshela kwaye usebenzise isisi samanzi ukumanzisa amagqabi amaxesha ngamaxesha. Ngombulelo kusetyenziso lwesisasazi, sinokugcina ukufuma okungaphezulu kwisityalo xa ubushushu bemo yokubi bungaphezulu noko. Ukufuma kokusingqongileyo kunye nokunkcenkceshela rhoqo zezona zinto zibaluleke kakhulu kwesi sityalo sinemvelaphi yetropiki.
Amagqabi e-Aphelandra anokucocwa amaxesha ngamaxesha ngelaphu elithambileyo nelifumileyo ukuze liyivumele ifotosinthesize kakuhle. Akunyanzelekanga ukuba usebenzise iimveliso ezinikezelwa ukupholisha amaphepha. I-Aphelandra sele inamagqabi amenyezelayo ngokwawo. Singa Gcina isityalo sifumile ngokubeka imbiza kwisitya esibanzi esigcwele udongwe olwandisiweyo. Ndiyabulela kolu dongwe, ukufuma okungaphezulu kunokugcinwa ixesha elide. Udongwe akufuneki ludibane ngqo nezantsi kwembiza kuba iya kubangela ukuba iingcambu zibole.
Isichumisi nokuphindaphinda
Umgquba yinto enokusinceda ukuba sibe nesityalo esilinganayo esinamagqabi akhule kakuhle. Kuyacetyiswa ukuba uhlawule ngexesha lasentwasahlobo phantse zonke iiveki ezimbini. Yayo, sisebenzisa isichumisi esingamanzi esixutywe emanzini okunkcenkceshela. Xa intyatyambo iqala ukubonakala, isichumiso kufuneka sandiswe kube kanye ngeveki. Xa ixesha lokudubula liphelile kwaye ngokufika kokwindla, inokuhlawulwa rhoqo kwiiveki ezimbini ukuba amaqondo obushushu ahlala ephezulu. Ukuba oku akunjalo, kungcono ukuwuxhoma umgquba.
Esi sityalo sivelisa imbewu kunye nokusika. Kubalulekile ukuba amaqondo obushushu ahlale kuluhlu lwama-22 ukuya kuma-24 degrees.
Ndiyathemba ukuba ngolu lwazi unokufunda ngakumbi nge-Aphelandra kunye neempawu zayo.
