Uhlwanyelwa kanjani ubhontshisi we-cocoa? Yebo, kulula kakhulu, ngoba ngebhodwe nange-substrate enhle, ngaphandle kokukhohlwa inkonxa yokunisela ngamanzi, singathola izibonelo zalesi sihlahla. Kepha uma sifuna umuntu afinyelele ebudaleni ... izinto ziba nzima.
Ukuze ube nethuba lokuphumelela, Ngincoma ukuthi uqhubeke ufunda. Angithembisi lutho, kepha… ungaba nenhlanhla 🙂.
Anjani ubhontshisi wecocoa?
Akhiqizwa yilesi sihlahla Ukhokho weTheobroma, isihlahla esihlala siluhlaza esihlala ezindaweni ezishisayo zaseMelika, ikakhulukazi e-Amazon. Isithelo lesi sijikijolo esikhulu esaziwa nge-cob, futhi siyinyama, siyisiyingi ukuze siphume, siphuzi noma nsomi ngombala futhi ngosayizi oyi-15 kuye ku-30cm. Imbewu ibomvu ngokubomvu, ingaphansi kancane kuka-2cm ubude, futhi iqinile.
Ukuhluma (futhi uphile) badinga izinga lokushisa ukuze lifudumele, phakathi kuka-20 no-30ºC, kanye nomswakama ophezulu; ngaphandle kwalokho ngeke ziphume noma ziphume ukuze zome kungekudala.
Zitshalwa nini futhi kanjani?
Uma uhlala endaweni lapho isimo sezulu sishisa khona, ungakwenza ngemuva kwesizini eyomile. Kepha uma uhlala endaweni enesimo sezulu esipholile, kwenze maphakathi / ngasekupheleni kwentwasahlobo, lapho izinga lokushisa lingu-20ºC noma okunye okungaphezulu.
Uma usunqumile usuku landela lesi sinyathelo ngesinyathelo:
- Okokuqala, khipha imbewu esithelweni bese uyihlanze kahle ngamanzi.
- Bese ugcwalisa imbiza engaba ngu-10,5cm ububanzi nge-mulch engu-60% nge-30% perlite (noma efanayo) no-10% we-guano.
- Bese unisela ngonembeza.
- Bese ufaka izimbewu ezimbili ubuningi ebhodweni, ulele phansi, uzimboze ngongqimba oluncane lwe-substrate.
- Ekugcineni, nisela futhi bese ufafaza ithusi noma isibabule ukuvimbela ukuvela kwesikhunta.
Ngakho-ke, ukubeka ibhodwe ngomthunzi omncane, izohluma cishe emavikini ama-2-4. Lapho nje izimpande zikhula ziphuma ezimbotsheni zamanzi, zifakele ezimbizeni ezizodwa, futhi ungakhohlwa ukufafaza ithusi noma isulfure futhi. Ngale ndlela, bazoba nethuba elingcono kakhulu lokuqhubekela phambili.
Ukutshala okuhle 🙂.
