Phakathi kwazo zonke izitshalo ezinomsoco esingazithola emvelweni, kunesodwa esimangalisa kakhulu. Simazi ngegama lika i-cactus yamatshe, yize empeleni kuyi-crass. Into "yamatshe" iza kuyona ngoba, endaweni yayo yemvelo, ikhula emhlabeni lapho kunamatshe amancane anemibala ehlukene, okuyisiphephelo esiphephile kulabo esisebenza nabo. Okungaziwa ukuthi isitshalo singayisebenzisa kanjani imibala yetshe ngendlela yokuthi ibonakale ingenye yazo. Lokho mhlawumbe kungenye yezimfihlakalo ezithakazelisa kakhulu okufanele ixazululwe i-botany
I-cactus yamatshe inelukuluku lokwazi: isitshalo esincane esingalinganisi ngaphezu kuka-5cm ukuphakama cishe ngobubanzi obufanayo, esinamaqabunga amabili kuphela ayinyama afana namafasitela, avumela ukukhanya kwelanga kudlule futhi ngaleyo ndlela kukuvumele ukuthi kukwazi ukwenza i-photosynthesize futhi kukhule.
I-cactus yamatshe iyisiphuzo sohlobo lwe-botanical Lithops, futhi idabuka eNingizimu Afrika. Iqukethe izinhlobo eziyi-109, kufaka phakathi i- I-Lithops karasmontana noma i AmaLithops pseudotruncatella, okungezinye zezinto ezilula ukungena kuzinkulisa. Zibonakala, hhayi ngokuba namaqabunga amabili aguquliwe, kodwa futhi ngokuba nezimbali ezinhle ezimhlophe noma eziphuzi ngempela, ezikhumbuza lezo zezitshalo ze-Aster (ezifana nezimbali zama-daisy). Lezi ihlumela ngasekupheleni kwehlobo noma ekuqaleni kokuwa, kuya ngesimo sezulu.
Izinga lokukhula lihamba kancane, ngakho-ke singaba nalo ebhodweni elifanayo, okungenani, iminyaka 10.
Uma sikhuluma ngokulinywa kwayo, kufanele sikhumbule ukuthi ihlala endaweni eyomile kakhulu, nokuthi umhlaba lapho ikhula khona unesihlabathi. Ngakho-ke, ukuze ikhule kahle kubalulekile ukuthi itshalwe ebhodweni nge-substrate enamandla kakhuluKungaba isihlabathi somfula esigeziwe, i-pumice nge-peat encane kakhulu, noma i-akadama. Ngale ndlela, kuzoba nzima ukuthi izimpande zibole.
Kepha-ke, kuzoba khona futhi amanzi amancane. Ngesikhathi sasehlobo izoniselwa kanye ngesonto, kuthi unyaka wonke njalo ezinsukwini eziyi-15-20 (ebusika, amanzi kanye ngenyanga). Ezinyangeni ezifudumele ingasetshenziselwa ukufaka umquba ngomquba we-cacti, noma ngama-organic fertilizer.
Futhi, by the way, isekela amakhaza amnene kakhulu, kuze kufike -1ºC uma kungokwesikhashana. Uma uhlala endaweni lapho amakhaza eshubile kakhulu, ungahlala unayo ekhaya, egumbini lapho ukukhanya okuningi kwemvelo kungena khona.
Ubucabangani ngalesi sitshalo esinelukuluku lokwazi?
