I-Perlite ne-vermiculite

Engadini yethu sisebenzisa izinto ezithile ezisisiza ukuthi siqhume izitshalo zethu noma ezinikela esimeni sazo esihle. Kulokhu ngiza ukuzokhuluma nawe mayelana i-perlite ne-vermiculite.

Ngabe ufuna ukwazi ukuthi ziyini, zenzelwe ini nokuthi kufanele sizisebenzise nini?

Pearlite

I-crystal yemvelaphi yemvelo egcwele kakhulu emhlabeni. Inesakhiwo esiqukethe amanzi ayi-5% ngaphakathi futhi yingakho inamandla okukhulisa lapho ingaphansi kwamazinga okushisa aphezulu. Lapho i-perlite inwebeka ngenxa yamazinga okushisa aphakeme ithola ukuthungwa okulula nokuthe xaxa.

Ukuze sithole i-perlite, kufanele siyilinganise ngevolumu, ngoba isisindo sayo siyahlukahluka kuye ngosayizi wezinhlayiya nokuqukethwe umswakama wazo. Amabhola amhlophe anomthamo ophakeme wokugcina amanzi futhi ngasikhathi sinye agcina i-porosity ephezulu. Ngaphezu kwalokho, iyahambisana ngokwedlulele futhi ngenxa yalokho imelana kakhulu nokuguguleka. Njengoba izimpande zikhula, zigugula ipareleite. Kodwa-ke, iqinile impela. Ixubene ne-substrate, isetshenziselwa ukuvuselela ingxube futhi iyinike ukukhanya.

Yini esiyisebenzisela i-perlite? Yebo, i-pelita isebenzisa izinto ezahlukahlukene ezingadini nasezingadini. Ukuze uqalise, I-perlite ilungile njenge-substrate yokusabalalisa yazo zonke izinhlobo zezitshalo ngenxa yokungathathi hlangothi kwayo. Isebenza futhi nasezitshalweni ze-hydroponic futhi ingaxubaniswa nesihlabathi esikhulayo ekusabalaliseni ama-cacti nama-succulents. Iphinde isetshenziselwe lezo zitshalo ezichitha isikhathi esiningi emasakeni noma ezimbizeni futhi okufanele zisuswe. Iwusizo kakhulu kulesi senzakalo ngoba inamandla amakhulu okugcina umswakama, i-porosity nesisindo esincane.

Phakathi kwezici ze-perlite sithola:

• Ikhanya kakhulu, inesisindo esingu-125 kg ngemitha ngalinye.
• Ine-pH engathathi hlangothi.
• Mahhala izinambuzane, izifo kanye nokhula.
• Ifakwe kuma-substrates ilungile ngoba ithanda umoya omuhle futhi imunca amanzi amaningi.
• Akusha.
• Umbala wayo omhlophe wehlisa izinga lokushisa kwe-substrate futhi ukwandise ukukhanya, okubalulekile ezindlini zokugcina izithombo nasemizini yomthunzi.

I-Vermiculite

I-Vermiculite yigama elijwayelekile elinikezwe amaminerali aqhamuka emndenini wakwa-micas. Iqukethe ama-silicates e-aluminium, i-magnesium ne-iron. Inezakhiwo ezifana ne-perlite, ngoba ngesakhiwo sayo se-laminar ingaqukatha amanzi ngaphakathi. Lapho izinga lokushisa kwe-vermiculite likhula ngokushesha, Lokhu kuyanda futhi kubizwa ngokuthi yi-exfoliation. Lapho lesi simo senzeka, umkhiqizo onokubonakala kwensimbi, onsundu ngombala, nobuningi obubonakala obuphansi nemiphumela ephezulu ye-porosity.

Phakathi kwezici zayo esizitholayo:

• Ikhanya kakhulu, inesisindo esiphakathi kwamakhilogremu angama-60 kuya kwayi-140 ngemitha ye-cubic, kuya nge-granulometry.
• Ine-pH engathathi hlangothi (7,2).
• Mahhala izinambuzane, izifo kanye nokhula.
• Ifakwe kuma-substrates ithanda umoya omuhle futhi imunca amanzi amaningi.
• Ukucwebezela kwensimbi kukhulisa ukukhanya, okubalulekile ezindlini zokugcina izithombo.

Singasebenzisa i-vermiculite njenge-substrate ekhulayo ukukhuthaza ukusakazeka kwazo zonke izinhlobo zezitshalo, inqobo nje uma kune-aeration enhle ngenxa yamandla ayo aphezulu okugcina amanzi. Iphinde isetshenziselwe ukwenza ukuhlolwa kokuhluma kwembewu empilweni yabo. Kuwusizo ezitshalweni ze-hydroponic njenge-perlite. Iyakwazi ukugcina amanzi amaningi kune-perlite futhi isiza izitshalo ukugcina izakhamzimba nokuzihlanganisa kahle.

IVermiculite ingaqukatha i-potassium, i-calcium, i-magnesium, ne-ammonium edingekayo ekukhuleni kwezitshalo. Kukhanya, kulula ukuphatha, futhi kuhlangana kahle nezinye izithako, njenge-peat, i-coconut fiber, i-worm castings, ne-perlite, yezithombo nokupheka.

Ngalokhu usuvele uyazi ukuthi iyiphi okufanele uyikhethele ingadi yakho ngokugcina kwayo amanzi nezinye izici zayo.
