Namuhla sizokhuluma ngesitshalo sohlobo lwamahlathi asezindaweni ezishisayo esizalelwa eBrazil. Imayelana ne- I-Aphelandra. Yaziwa ngegama elidumile le-afelandra, idube nesitshalo se-indigo. Indawo yayo engokwemvelo ingaphansi komswakama wezindawo ezinenani elikhulu lezitshalo futhi ukuminyana kwazo kwesihlahla kukhulu. Idinga ukunakekelwa okuthile okufanisa ukuhlala endaweni yayo yemvelo ukuze ikhule ezimeni ezinhle.
Ngakho-ke, sizonikezela le ndatshana ukukutshela zonke izici nokunakekelwa okudingwa yi-Aphelandra.
Izici eziyinhloko
Isitshalo esaziwa ngobuhle bamaqabunga aso, yingakho sifunwa. Kungumndeni wakwa-Acanthaceae lapho kunezinhlobo ezingaphezu kuka-200 ezihlukene. Zonke zidabuka ezindaweni ezishisayo zaseCentral naseNingizimu Melika, ikakhulukazi ezindaweni eziseningizimu yeMexico, eningizimu ye-Argentina nasenyakatho yeBrazil.
Yisihlahlana esime njalo, esihlanganayo esihlala siluhlaza esingadlula amamitha amabili ukuphakama esimweni saso semvelo. Lapho ziyizitshalo ezikhuliswe ezimbizeni, ayikwazi ukukhulisa ukuphakama okungako. Imvamisa iba ngamasentimitha angama-2 ubude futhi ayivamile ukuyidlula. Iziqu zawo ziyinyama futhi inamaqabunga alula ohlobo oluphambene. Isimo samaqabunga sine-oblong-elliptical futhi anawo wonke umkhawulo. Made impela, alinganisa amasentimitha angama-20-30 ubude namasentimitha angu-8-10 ububanzi. Umbala yiwona oheha kakhulu kwazise uluhlaza omnyama futhi unezimbambo ezimhlophe njengophondo lwendlovu. Zinesikhumba futhi ziyacwebezela ngaphezulu.
Okuheha kakhulu nge-Aphelandra ngumahluko onawo amaqabunga ngokuya ngombala oluhlaza okhanya ngokugqamile nemithambo emhlophe yezinzwa. Kubonakala kakhulu engxenyeni engenhla yeqabunga nombala oluhlaza ngokukhanyayo ngaphansi. Izimbali ze-Aphelandra Kwenzeka ngasekupheleni kwentwasahlobo nasekuqaleni kwehlobo inqobo nje uma amazinga okushisa ephezulu futhi enezinga elihle lomswakama. Izimbali zingama-inflorescence ombukiso anobude obungamasentimitha ayi-6-15 futhi ahambisana nezipikili ezimbili ezimfishane eziseceleni. I-spike eyinhloko yakhiwe nge-bract enokuthungwa okufana nephepha. Ziyi-inflorescence ephuzi futhi imvamisa zihlala cishe izinyanga ezimbili. Ama-bracts anomsebenzi wokweseka izimbali.
Ngokuqondene nezithelo zayo, zingamaphilisi we-dehiscent angamasentimitha ayi-0.8 kuphela futhi aqukethe imbewu engu-4 ngaphakathi.
Ukunakekela i-Aphelandra
Njengoba sishilo ngaphambili, ukuze siyinakekele kahle, idinga ukuthi indawo yayo ibe seduze ngangokunokwenzeka nendawo yayo yemvelo. Endaweni yayo yemvelo inomswakama ophakeme kakhulu unyaka wonke ngoba imvelo yezindawo ezishisayo ivelela ukuba nemvula ephezulu kanye nobuningi bezitshalo. Lezi zitshalo zingonga umswakama wemvelo kahle kakhulu. I-Aphelandra idinga ukuthi indawo ibe sendaweni ekhanyayo kakhulu kepha engatholi ilanga eliqondile. Kunconywa ukuthi uyibeke endaweni lapho ivikeleke khona kumagagasi omoya. Futhi ukuthi endaweni yayo yemvelo ivikelekile elangeni nomoya oqondile. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi amaqabunga ezitshalo azinikeza ukuvikelwa futhi agcina umswakama.
Uma livulelwa ngokuqhubekayo elangeni nasesenzweni somoya, amaqabunga alo angawa futhi avimbele ukuqhakaza. Mayelana namazinga okushisa, amazinga okushisa aphakathi kwamadigri ayi-18 ayadingeka. Ububanzi obuhle bamazinga okushisa ukuze isitshalo sikhule kahle buphakathi kwama-21-27 degrees. Ngemuva kokuqhakaza ngokuvamile iba nesikhathi esifushane sokuphumula ngamazinga okushisa apholile kodwa angabi ngaphansi kwama-degree ayi-14. Lokhu kwenza ukukhawulwa kwalesi sitshalo kuphakame ngoba kufanele ngokuqhubekayo sibe namazinga okushisa wohlobo lwendawo eshisayo. Uma lesi sitshalo singekho ebangeni lokushisa elishiwo, ngeke sikwazi ukuqhakaza entwasahlobo nasehlobo. Uma kuqhubeka, ukuchayeka emazingeni okushisa aphansi kungaholela ekufeni.
Izidingo ze-Aphelandra
Sizobona manje ukuthi yiziphi izidingo i-Aphelandra okumele ikwazi ukuzithuthukisa ezimeni ezinhle. Into yokuqala okufanele siyicabangele uma sesikhethe indawo uhlobo lomhlabathi. Umhlabathi kumele ube ne-asidi noma ungathathi hlangothi futhi uhlale unomswakama. Okusemqoka kulo mhlabathi ukuthi kufanele ugcine umswakama kepha ungangeni emanzini. Ngakho-ke, sidinga inhlabathi ukuthi ibe namanzi amaningi. Amapayipi omhlabathi yikhono lokumunca amanzi okunisela noma amanzi emvula.
I-Aphelandra kufanele iniselwe kaningi kepha ngamanzi angenalo uketshezi kanye nasekamelweni lokushisa. Akudingeki ulinde i-substrate ukuthi yome ngaphambi kokunisela futhi. Akufanele futhi siwele ngaphezulu kwamanzi ukuze inhlabathi ingamanzi amanzi. Isihluthulelo siwukuthi inhlabathi ihlala ihlale imanzi kodwa ingenamanzi agijimayo. Ngenkathi yokuqhakaza kuyalulekwa ukwandisa imvamisa yokuchelela futhi usebenzise idrayivu yamanzi ukumanzisa amaqabunga ngezikhathi ezithile. Ngenxa yokusetshenziswa kwesisabalalisi, singakwazi ukugcina umswakama ongaphezulu esitshalweni lapho izinga lokushisa elincane liphakeme ngandlela thile. Umswakama wezemvelo nokunisela okuvamile ukunakekelwa okubaluleke kakhulu kwalesi sitshalo semvelaphi eshisayo.
Amaqabunga e-Aphelandra angahlanzwa ngezikhathi ezithile ngendwangu ethambile, emanzi ukuyivumela ukuthi ikwazi ukwenza i-photosynthesize kahle. Akudingeki ukuthi usebenzise imikhiqizo enikelwe ukuze ukwazi ukupholisha amashidi. I-Aphelandra isivele inamaqabunga acwebezelayo ngokwawo. Singakwazi gcina isitshalo simanzi ngokubeka ibhodwe kupuleti elibanzi eligcwele ubumba olunwetshiwe. Ngenxa yalolu bumba, inani elikhulu lomswakama lingagcinwa isikhathi eside. Ubumba akumele luxhumane ngqo nezansi ebhodweni ngoba kuzodala ukuthi izimpande zibole.
Umanyolo nokuphindaphinda
Umquba yinto engasisiza ukuthi sibe nesitshalo esilinganayo esinamaqabunga athuthukile. Kunconywa ukuthi ukhokhe ngesikhathi sentwasahlobo cishe njalo emavikini amabili. Okwakho, sisebenzisa umanyolo oketshezi ohlanjululwe emanzini okunisela. Lapho i-spike yezimbali iqala ukwakheka, umanyolo kufanele wenyuswe ube kanye ngesonto. Uma isikhathi sokuqhakaza sesiphelile futhi ngokufika kwekwindla, kungakhokhwa njalo emavikini amabili uma amazinga okushisa ehlala ephezulu. Uma lokhu kungenjalo, kungcono ukumisa umquba.
Lesi sitshalo sizala ngembewu nangokusika. Kubalulekile ukuthi amazinga okushisa ahlale ebangeni lama-22-24 degrees.
Ngiyethemba ukuthi ngalolu lwazi ungafunda kabanzi nge-Aphelandra nezimpawu zayo.
