I-Penta (Pentas lanceolata)

Ngabe uke waphupha ngokuba nesitshalo esibukeka kalula esifana nesihlahla, kepha ukuthi izimbali zaso ziyisikhungo sokunakwa futhi senze ingadi yakho indawo enhle nenhle yokubabaza? Mhlawumbe ubulokhu ufuna inhlobo ethola into enjalo. Izindaba ezinhle ukuthi ngenxa yama-pentas, lokhu kungenzeka.

Kanjalo, ama-pentas awasilo uhlobo olulodwa, kepha kunalokho igama elishiwo ezinhlotsheni ezingama-80 ezahlukahlukene zomndeni ofanayo. Ukuze ungaba nesikhala esivandeni sakho kuphela ukuze ube nezinhlobonhlobo zama-pentas futhi ngaleyo ndlela unikeze amandla amakhulu nombala engadini yakho noma isikhala semvelo onaso ekhaya.

Ngelinye ilanga ngathenga ipenta, isitshalo esinamaqabunga aluhlaza okotshani nezimbali ezibomvana engikhethele indodana yami encane. Konke kwenzeke ngokuzenzekelayo futhi ngenkathi nginendodana yami endala ngifuna isipho somncane owayegula.

Asitholanga lutho oluhle kwase kufika kimi ukuthi ngithengele ngamunye wabo isitshalo. Omdala wakhetha i-Erica ngenkathi iPenta kwakuyisitshalo esikhethelwe omncane.

Kuzona zozimbili lezi zinhlobo bengibheka izinhlobo ezilula zokuzinakekela nezihlala ziluhlaza ukuze ziqale ukuthatha izinyathelo zazo zokuqala zokulima, ukunakekela nokutadisha isitshalo sazo.

Ungathanda ukwazi imininingwane eyengeziwe ngalezi zitshalo ezinhle? Hlala kuze kube sekupheleni bese uthola amaqiniso athakazelisayo ngalesi sitshalo.

Izici zePenta

Ipenta yisitshalo esilula esivelela izimbali zaso ezihlala zombili entwasahlobo nasehlobo nasekwindla. Esinye sezici zayo ukuthi iheha izimvemvane nama-hummingbirds, ngakho-ke kuyinto enhle ezinganeni.

Igama lesayensi lesitshalo ngu IPentas lanceolata futhi ungowomndeni wakwaRubiaceae. Abomdabu base-Afrika nase-Arabia, Yisitshalo saminyaka yonke esinezimbali ezinamabala abomvana, ama-lilac, abomvu noma amhlophe.. Endabeni yami, ngakhetha eyodwa yezimbali ezinhle, ezithambile nezothando zephink.

Kumele kuqashelwe ukuthi lezi zitshalo ziqhakaza lonke ihlobo kuze kuhlwe. Yize kukhona ama-subspecies anekhono lokuqhakaza ngokuyisisekelo unyaka wonke, kepha ahlukaniswe amasonto.

Lesi ngesinye sezitshalo ezisetshenziswa kakhulu ezingadini nasezindaweni ezivulekile ezifana nezikwele, amapaki emvelo nezinye, ngoba ubude baso bufanele ukutshalwa phambi kwezindlu nasemaceleni endlela.

Lezi zinhlobo yizimo ezifudumele kakhulu nezipholile, ngakho-ke bazoba nobunzima obukhulu bokuphila ezindaweni ezibandayo noma ezineqhwa. Ngaphandle kwalapho une-penta ebhodweni futhi uyivikele emakhazeni ngokuyibeka ngaphakathi endlini.

Imininingwane kuphela ngalokhu okushiwo ngenhla, ukuthi isitshalo sizothanda kakhulu ngezimbali zaso, ngoba sithanda ilanga. Kungakho abantu banconywa ukuthi babagcine endaweni enesithunzi noma okungcono elangeni eliqondile.

Okubonakala kakhulu kulo mndeni wezitshalo zokuhlobisa yizimbali zawo, iyona eheha kakhulu. Kepha noma kunjalo, amaqabunga awo ahlaba umxhwele ngombala anawo lapho lina. Ngaphezu kwalokho, lezi zinombala ogqamile oluhlaza okhanyayo, yize lezi zici zingahluka kancane ngokuya ngokuhlukahluka kwesitshalo.

Ubukhulu balesi sitshalo ngokuvamile buzungeze imitha elilodwa. Kungakhula kancane, kepha kuyisitshalo esisakazeka kakhulu eceleni. Yingakho kuvame kakhulu ukubona izitshalo zalolu hlobo ngendlela yezihlahla eziyindilinga noma eziyisikwele, kuya ngesimo nokuthandwa komuntu ngamunye.

Yize into ehlaba umxhwele kakhulu ngalesi sitshalo yizimbali zaso, amaqabunga aso nawo, ngoba anombala ogqamile oluhlaza okhanyayo, yize lezi zici zingahluka kancane ngokuya ngokuhlukahluka kwesitshalo.

Ngokuqondene nezimbali, uma uzibheka eduze kakhulu, zibukeka zifana kakhulu nenkanyezi. Zibonakala ngamaqoqo amancane futhi kuqoqo elilodwa kungaba nezimbali ezingaphezu kwezingu-15.

Manje, njengoba kucaciswa kancane ngezimbali zaso, kuyacaca ukuthi zikhula ngesimo sezimbali. Ongakakwazi namanje ukuthi imbali ngayinye ehlukile inamacembe angu-5 esewonke kanti nembali ngayinye ingalingana ifike ku-8 cm ubude.

Kwamanye amazwe aseLatin America, izimbali zivame ukusetshenziselwa ukwenza izimbali, imiqhele yezimbali ngisho nemigexo yemvelo, ngoba ukwakheka kwezimbali kuyakuvumela.

Njengeqiniso lokwazi ngalesi sici, kufanele wazi ukuthi ngemuva kwezinsuku ezimbalwa lina, izimbali zalo ngaphakathi zizoba noketshezi olumnandi olungasetshenziswa. Mhlawumbe lesi ngesinye sezizathu zokuthi kungani imvamisa ukuheha ama-hummingbird nezinye izinhlobo ezifuna umpe.

Ngomunye umqondo, kufanele wazi futhi ukuthi kukhona ukwehluka okuthile kwepenta okwazi ukukhiqiza izithelo. Kepha ngokungafani nalokho okwaziyo ngezithelo, lamajikijolo amancane awakwazi futhi akufanele adliwe ngabantu ngoba zinobuthi.

Ngendlela efanayo, lezi zinhlobo ezithile ezikhiqiza amajikijolo, zivumela ukuphindaphindeka kwesitshalo ngezimbewu zaso hhayi ngokusika.

Ukunakekelwa

I-penta, udinga ukuba nenhlabathi esezingeni eliphakeme, okungukuthi, ecebile futhi enamanzi amaningi futhi idinga ukuba nokunisela okujwayelekile kodwa okusesilinganisweni, njengoba kuyisitshalo esibekezelela isomiso. Yize lomhlabathi uzoba ofanele kakhulu, uzivumelanisa nezinye izimo futhi yile ndlela obekezelela ngayo ubumba, isihlabathi kanye ne-asidi.

Kepha njengoba sihlala sincoma, kungcono ukubheka umhlaba, ngakho-ke uyinisele lapho sibona ukuthi yomile. Yize lokhu kuzoncika ezintweni ezinjengezinga lokushisa elizungezile kanye nomswakama wemvelo. Ngesikhathi sasehlobo kufanele uvikele ngangokunokwenzeka ukuthi inhlabathi noma i-substrate yesitshalo yome ngokuphelele. Kepha futhi akudingeki ukuthi unisele isitshalo ngokwenza amachibi, ngoba lokhu kuyingozi kuma-pentas, ngoba amanzi amaningi azogcina ebola isitshalo. Ngakho-ke zikhawulele ekunikezeni okudingayo kuphela.

Uma uhlala endaweni eshisa kakhulu, kungcono ukunisela kanye noma kabili ngesonto. Lesi sitshalo sisakazwa ngokusikwa, izingxenye noma imbewu isikhathi sokuhlwanyela sisukela ebusika. Ukuhluma kwenzeka cishe emavikini amathathu emva kokuhlwanyela futhi phakathi nalesi sikhathi, kungcono ukunisela kakhulu, bese unciphisa ukuchelela lapho isitshalo sakhiwa.

Ukuphela kokufanele ukwenze (uma uzotshala i-penta ngokusika) thatha lawo ma-cuttings wokugcina wesitshalo bese ususa ngalinye lamaqabunga anengxenye yawo engezansi.

Ngemuva kwalokho kufanele uyibeke ku-substrate lapho izotshalwa khona. Vele, kufanele ugcine i-substrate imanzi kuze kube yilapho ukusika kuqala ukuthuthukisa izimpande zayo zokuqala. Ngokuqondene nokunye ukunakekelwa, ngesikhathi sasebusika i-penta idinga ukuthenwa futhi qaphela ukuhlaselwa kwe-whitefly.

Uma uya kothena lesi sitshalo, kungcono ube nethuluzi lesandla elifana kakhulu nezikele, kepha lokhu kukhethekile ezitshalweni. Ngale ndlela uzoba nokulawula okungcono futhi ungakunika ukwakheka okungcono, ngaphandle kokusebenzisa izihlahla zokugunda ngobukhulu obukhulu ekugcineni obuzogcina bulimaze isitshalo, ngaphandle kokuthi ube nokulawula okuhle kwaleli thuluzi futhi kube lula kuwe.

Iqiniso elilodwa elizokusiza uma kukhulunywa ngokuzuzisa ukukhiqizwa kwezimbali yilokho ungasiza isitshalo ukuthi sakhe amaqoqo amasha anezimbali, ukusika noma ukuqeda lezo esezishwabene noma esezizoma. Lokhu kusiza isitshalo ukuthi siqhakaze futhi, yize ukungenelela komuntu kungadingeki njengoba isitshalo singazenzela sodwa.

Ama-Pentacles ayizitshalo ezinhle ngokwedlulele ezishintsha impela amandla wanoma iliphi ikhaya noma ingadi. Okuhle ukuthi unakho kutholakale kalula ukuthi unezinhlobonhlobo eziningi, kepha ugxila kohlobo olulodwa kuphela.
