Uma ubona imbewu ihluma esitshalweni esikhulu njengesihlahla noma isihlahla sesundu, lapho imbewu ye-cactus ihluma kulula kuwe ukuthi ngokuzumayo uzwe uhlobo lothando olubheke kulezi zithombo ezincane ezinameva. Futhi, uma ngingasho njalo, zihle kakhulu… 🙂
Kepha ukujabulela lowo mzuzu kufanele ulungiselele umbhede wembewu ngesikhathi esifanele. Ngakho ngizokutshela utshale nini i-cacti.
Zimila kanjani endaweni ezihlala kuyo?
Njengokulangazelela, nangaphambi kokudlulela esihlokweni esiseduze, ngizochaza ukuthi imbewu yalezi zitshalo ikwazi kanjani ukuhluma endaweni yazo yemvelo.
ICacti wuhlobo lwesitshalo esidabuka ezwenikazi laseMelika, esitholakala ikakhulu eMelika Ephakathi. Ezindaweni abahlala kuzo, izinga lokushisa lasemini livame ukuba phezulu kakhulu, ngaphezu kwama-40ºC, kepha amazinga okushisa ebusuku angahle aye ku-0ºC futhi nangaphezulu ebusika. Imvula incane kakhulu; Noma kunjalo, bangasinda ngenxa yamazolo. La mathonsi amancane amanzi awela emeveni nasemizimbeni ye-cactus, amuncwa izimbotshana zawo.
Imbewu abayikhiqizayo mincane (kukhona eminye, efana naleyo ye- URebutia, acishe alingane nekhanda likaphini). Ngenkathi zingaphakathi kwezithelo zihlala zinamanzi futhi zivikelekile emisebeni yelanga, kepha uma isithelo sesomile bese ziwela phansi kufanele bathole isihlabathi sasogwadule ukuze sibamboze kancane ngaphambi kokuba imvula ize nokusebenza komoya. Ngemuva kokuthi imvula ebikade ilindelwe isikhiphe wonke amanzi ebiqukethe, i-cacti encane izoqala ukuhluma.
Ungayitshala nini i-cacti?
Isikhathi esihle sokutshala i-cacti ngu entwasahlobo noma ehlobo, lapho izinga lokushisa elincane lingu-20ºC. Angikweluleki ukukwenza ekwindla ngoba uma lezi zitshalo zihluma zinezinyanga ezintathu kuphela zokukhula futhi kungenzeka ukuthi ngeke zisinde ebusika noma ngabe umbhede wembewu ubekwe endlini.
Ukuqinisekisa ukuthi zonke izithombo zizoba nesilinganiso esihle sokukhula, kubaluleke kakhulu ukusebenzisa i-substrate enomsele omuhle kakhulu, ngakho-ke singaxuba i-peat emnyama exutshwe ne-perlite ezingxenyeni ezilinganayo noma ku-vermiculite. Sizosabalalisa imbewu ebusweni bese siyimboza ngongqimba oluncane kakhulu lwe-peat, noma uma siyifuna ngesihlabathi somfula esasigezwe phambilini, futhi sizogcina inhlabathi imanziswe ngokunisela njalo ngezansi.
Ngokuvamile, zizohluma ngemuva kwezinsuku ezingu-7-10, ngemuva kwalokho singabelapha ngemithi yesikhunta ukugwema ukwanda kwesikhunta.
Ukutshala okuhle!
