Ungayishintsha imibala yezimbali ze-hydrangea? Yebo, kuya ngohlobo lwakho lwe-hydrangea ne-pH yenhlabathi yakho.
Sizochaza ukuthi ungashintsha kanjani kusuka kokuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka kuya kupinki noma kusuka kupinki uye kwesibhakabhaka. Khumbula, lokhu kuzosebenzela izinhlobo eziluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka noma ezibomvana kuphela, ngakho-ke izimbali ezimhlophe azinakuguqulwa ziye komunye umbala.
Ukubaluleka kwenhlabathi pH
Ngokungafani nezimbali eziningi, i-Lacecap ne-Mophead hydrangeas (H. macrophylla) kungashintsha umbala. Abalimi bekhulu leshumi nesishiyagalombili baba ngabokuqala ukubona lokhu futhi bazama ukungcwaba izipikili ezigqwalile, ukukhonza itiye noma ngisho nokukhala iziphonso ezungeze izitshalo zakho.
Yi-pH yenhlabathi enquma umbala wembali. Eziluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka zikhula kahle kakhulu enhlabathini ene-esidi, kuyilapho ama-pinks nobomvu benza kahle enhlabathini ene-alkali noma engathathi hlangothi.
Emhlabathini omuncu kakhulu i-pH engaphansi kuka-5.5, izimbali ziba luhlaza okwesibhakabhaka.
Enhlabathini ene-alkaline i-pH ephakeme kune-7, izimbali ziphenduka zibe bomvu noma zibomvu.
Emhlabathini omuncu noma ongathathi hlangothi pH 6 kuya ku-7, ama-blooms angaba nsomi noma inhlanganisela eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka nepinki esihlahleni esisodwa.
Umbala omhlophe we-hydrangea awuthinteki yi-pH yenhlabathi. Abamhlophe bahlala abamhlophe, umbala awusoze washintshwa, futhi ngokuvamile bathanda izimo ezifanayo ze-pH njengombala obomvana nobomvu.
Kepha ubudlelwane phakathi kombala ne-pH kuyinkimbinkimbi kakhulu kunezinombolo esikalini kuphela; ukutholakala kwama-aluminium ions, nezinga ongamunca ngalo.
Okokuqala, ungenza isivivinyo somhlabathi usebenzisa ikhithi etholakala kalula esikhungweni esihle sengadi. Lapho usuyazi i-pH ejwayelekile yenhlabathi yakho, ungayilungisa ukuze uthole umbala wembali ye-hydrangea oyithandayo.
Ukushintsha i-hydrangea ibe ngumbala oluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka
Uma ama-hydrangea akho ebomvana, ngoba inhlabathi yakho ine-alkaline futhi ufuna ukuthi ibe luhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, udinga ukufaka i-asidi enhlabathini ngokwandisa ukutholakala kwe-aluminium.
Ungakufezekisa lokhu ngokungeza izichibiyelo enhlabathini yakho njenge izinaliti zikaphayini, umquba, izindawo zekhofi, ne-aluminium sulfate, ezisiza inhlabathi ukuba ibe ne-acidic ngokuhamba kwesikhathi.
Khumbula ukuthi ukushintsha i-pH yenhlabathi yakho kuyinqubo ehamba kancane, futhi kungathatha unyaka ukuze ushintsho lombala lwenzeke.
Nge-aluminium, hlaziya isisombululo sama-gramu ayisikhombisa e-aluminium ngamalitha amane amanzi. Cwilisa inhlabathi ngesisombululo ngemuva kokuthi isitshalo siqale ukukhula entwasahlobo bese uphinda kabili ngezikhathi, phakathi kwamasonto amathathu kuya kwamane.
I-Aluminium sulfate ingusawoti ongenambala otholwe isenzo se-sulfuric acid ku-hydrated aluminium oxide. Ungayithenga kunoma yisiphi isikhungo sengadi.
Ukushintsha i-hydrangea ibe pink
Ukukhulisa i-alkalinity futhi ushintshe izimbali eziluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka zibe pink, entwasahlobo noma ekwindla usakaze i-limestone yomhlabathi (i-dolomitic lime) ngesilinganiso sezinkomishi ezi-4 ezizungeze isitshalo bese usinisela kahle, uphinda njalo emavikini amathathu kuya kwamane. Qaphela, i-alkalinity eyeqile izodala ama-chlorosis noma amaqabunga aphuzi.
Sika ama-hydrangea
Izimbali ze-Hydrangea zinhle kakhulu, ukuthi kungokwemvelo ukufuna ukuyisika ukuze ikhombise imibala ehlukene ngaphakathi kwendlu yakho. Kepha ukuze izimbali zingathandi ihora ngemuva kokungena emanzini, ungenza iqhinga elilandelayo:
Gxila iziqu ezisikiwe emanzini abandayo ngemuva nje kokusika. Thela cishe 2,5 intshi yamanzi abilayo esitsheni esihlukile bese usivumela ukuba sipholile imizuzu emibili. Sika iziqu ngosayizi ngendlela othanda ngayo. Gcina phansi iziqu emanzini ashisayo cishe imizuzwana engama-30, bese udlulisela iziqu emanzini abandayo. Ohlakaniphile!
