I-Hatiora gaertneri

La I-Hatiora gaertneri (noma njengoba kwaziwa manje I-Schlumberger gaertnerii-cactus epiphytic ebonakala ngokukhiqiza izimbali ezinhle kakhulu, kangangoba ithole i-Award of Garden Merit evela eRoyal Horticultural Society (RHS).

Kuyinto yezinhlobo ezinenani elimangalisayo lokuhlobisa, ngoba kulula futhi ukuligcina. Empeleni, noma ngabe kufanele wazi kancane ngenkasa, empeleni Ngamathiphu ambalwa, uqinisekile ukwenza i-cactus yakho ikhule iphilile.

Umsuka nezimpawu ze I-Hatiora gaertneri

I-protagonist yethu iyi-cactus eyaziwa kakhulu ngegama le-Easter cactus noma iPentekoste cactus. Ivela eningizimu-mpumalanga yeBrazil, ikakhulukazi iParaná neSanta Catarina, lapho ihlala endaweni ephakeme ngamamitha angama-350-1300 ngaphezu kolwandle. Kuyinto epiphyte, okusho ukuthi ikhula emagatsheni ezihlahla, yize kungenzeka futhi ukuyithola emadwaleni.

Iziqu zakhiwa izingxenye eziningana ezibizwa ngokuthi ama-cladode acijile, aluhlaza, futhi anamagatsha. Ayikhiqizi amaqabunga, ngoba i-photosynthesis kuwumsebenzi owenziwa yilezi ziqu, ezingamasentimitha angu-4-7 ubude ngobubanzi obungu-2-2,5 sentimitha.

Izimbali zayo zingamasentimitha angaba ngu-4-5, futhi abomvu klebhu, awolintshi noma abomvana. Bahluma entwasahlobo, imvamisa ekuqaleni kwesizini.

Yini ukunakekelwa okudingayo?

La I-Hatiora gaertneri Yi-cactus engakunika injabulo enkulu. Kuyathakazelisa kakhulu njengesitshalo sangaphakathi esinokukhanya, kanye namabhalkhoni noma izingadi lapho kungekho khona isithwathwa. Ngakho-ke, ngezansi sizochaza ukuthi singanakekelwa kanjani:

Indawo

• Ingaphakathi: luhlobo olungaba ngaphakathi ezindlini, egumbini elinokukhanya kodwa kungaqondile; okusho ukuthi, akudingekile ukuthi ulibeke kahle phambi kwewindi ngoba lingasha. Futhi, kufanele kube kude nokusalungiswa.
• yangaphandle: kufanele igcinwe emthunzini omncane, ngoba ukube ibiselangeni eligcwele ibingasha.

Inhlabathi noma i-substrate

Yi-cactus etshalwa zombili ezimbizeni nasensimini, ukuze inhlabathi iyehluka kuye ngokuthi itshalwe kuphi:

• Imbiza yezimbali: kungakuhle ukuthi uyigcwalise ngama-substrates anezimbobo amunca amanzi bese uwahlunga ngokushesha okukhulu. Isibonelo, inhlanganisela ethokozisayo yi-70% pumice (iyathengiswa lapha) nge-30% peat.
  Ibhodwe kumele libe nezimbobo esisekelweni, futhi uma lenziwe ngobumba, kungcono ukuthi isitshalo sikhule kalula, kodwa futhi sikhula nopulasitiki.
• Isibindi: inhlabathi engadini kumele ibe nemisele emihle kakhulu, ngoba lokhu kuzoqinisekisa ukuthi izimpande zikhula futhi zikhule ngokujwayelekile. Uma icwila ngokushesha, yenza umgodi omkhulu, okungenani u-50 x 50cm, bese uwugcwalisa ngompompi.

Ukunisela

Ngokuvamile, vumela i-substrate yome phakathi kokuchelela okukodwa nokulandelayo. Njalo uma unisela, kufanele uthele amanzi kuze kube yilapho yonke inhlabathi imanzi kakhulu; okungukuthi, ize iphume emigodini edonsa amanzi.

Uma ubona ukuthi umhlaba awumunce amanzi, kungenzeka ukuthi le substrate ayifanele kakhulu. Futhi kungenxa yokuthi i-cactus ikhuliswa kuphela ku-peat, noma uma ingeyona esezingeni eliphakeme kakhulu, uma yomile iyahlangana, futhi lokho kuyinkinga ngoba akunakwenzeka ukumunca amanzi ngokujwayelekile.

Ukuyixazulula, kufanele uthathe isitshalo bese ucwilisa imbiza emcengezini wamanzi isigamu sehora. Kepha inhloso ukushintsha i-substrate ukuze into efana nalena ingaphinde yenzeke.

Umbhalisile

Njengoba kuyisitshalo esikhula phakathi nezinyanga ezifudumele futhi siqhakaza entwasahlobo, Kunconywa kakhulu ukuqala ukufaka umanyolo ngamanyolo we-cacti (kuyathengiswa lapha) ngokushesha nje lapho amazinga okushisa ahlala ngaphezu kuka-15ºC. Njalo ngeviki noma ngamaviki amabili, kuya ngesikhombi somanyolo owusebenzisayo, futhi kuze kube sekupheleni kwehlobo lowo manyolo uzokwenza I-Hatiora gaertneri muhle.

Vele ngiyaphoqa, kubaluleke kakhulu ukuthi ufunde imiyalo yokusetshenziswa nokuthi uyilandele kuleyo ncwadi. Ukwenza iphutha lokungenzi kanjalo kungaholela ekweqeni ngokweqile, okungalimaza kakhulu izimpande.

Ukuphindaphinda

Umhlwathi wephasika iphindaphindwa ngokusikwa kwesiqu ngesikhathi sentwasahlobo. Ukuze wenze lokhu, kufanele uwasike ngesikele esihlanzekile bese uwafaka endaweni enomthunzi futhi eyomile cishe izinsuku ezingama-5-7. Ngemuva kwalesi sikhathi, amanxeba azobe esepholile, ngakho-ke kuzoba yisikhathi esihle sokuwabeka ezimbizeni ezinenhlanganisela ye-peat ne-perlite ezingxenyeni ezilinganayo.

Kubeke endaweni evikelekile elangeni eliqondile, bese unisela cishe izikhathi ezimbili ngesonto ukuze zingapheli. Cishe ezinsukwini eziyi-2-15 zizokhipha izimpande zazo.

Izinambuzane

Iqinile impela, kepha kwesinye isikhathi ingaba nayo mealybugs ezisuswa ngomhlaba owondayo, noma ngensipho namanzi. Ngesikhathi semvula kubalulekile ukuthi iminenke nama-slugs, njengoba lezi zingadla i-cactus.

Ukufakelwa

Kufanele itshalwe futhi ifakwe ku- intwasahlobo. Esimweni sokuthi ifakwa ebhodweni, izokwenziwa njalo eminyakeni eyi-3-4 ukuze iqhubeke nokukhula.

Isibindi

Imelana namazinga okushisa afinyelela ku-15ºC.
