ʻO Bulbophyllum: ka ʻano orchid nui loa, ka ʻokoʻa a me ka mālama.

Ua loaʻa iaʻu kaʻu Bulbophyllum mua ma kahi hanana hoʻololi mea kanu, me ka ʻike ʻole i kaʻu mea e komo nei. Ma hope wale nō i ʻike ai au ʻo ia ka ʻano orchid nui loa e ola nei, me nā tausani o nā ʻano i papa inoa ʻia, kēlā me kēia me kona mau ʻano ponoʻī e hiki ke ʻokoʻa i loko o ka hui taxonomic like.

No ke aha i manaʻo ʻia ai ʻo Bulbophyllum ka ʻano orchid nui loa?

Me nā tausani o nā ʻano i wehewehe ʻia, ʻoi aku kēia ʻano ma mua o ke ʻano like ʻole i hōʻike mua ʻia e pili ana iā Dendrobium ma kahi ʻatikala ʻē aʻe, mai nā miniatures aneane ʻike ʻole ʻia a hiki i nā specimens me nā pua nui a hōʻikeʻike, e hoʻolilo ana i kekahi ʻōlelo laulā e pili ana i ka mālama ʻana i mea pilikia loa.

ʻO ka pseudobulb liʻiliʻi a kaʻawale, kahi ʻano ulu maʻamau o kēia ʻano.

ʻAʻole e like me nā pseudobulbs i hui ʻia o Cattleya, i hōʻike kikoʻī ʻia ma kahi ʻatikala ʻē aʻe, ulu pinepine ʻo Bulbophyllum me nā pseudobulbs liʻiliʻi i hoʻokaʻawale ʻia ma kahi o ka rhizome e kolo ana, e hana ana i kahi ʻano ulu ākea ʻokoʻa loa mai nā puʻupuʻu liʻiliʻi i ʻike nui ʻia i nā ʻano ʻē aʻe.

He ipuhao pāpaʻu a i ʻole he hīnaʻi openwork, i hoʻololi ʻia i kēia ulu pālahalaha.

E like me kaʻu i wehewehe kikoʻī ai ma kahi ʻatikala ʻē aʻe e pili ana i nā ʻano ipuhao, koho wau i kahi ipu e kūpono i ke ʻano ulu o ka mea kanu, a no Bulbophyllum makemake wau i kahi ipuhao pāpaʻu a ākea a i ʻole kahi hīnaʻi perforated, e hāʻawi ana i kahi lawa no ka rhizome e pālahalaha ākea me ke kaohi ʻole.

ʻAʻole ʻoluʻolu mau ka ʻala o kekahi mau ʻano o kēia ʻano.

ʻOiai ʻo Cattleya lāua ʻo Brassavola, i hōʻike mua ʻia ma nā ʻatikala ʻē aʻe, he ʻala ʻoluʻolu ko lākou, ua hoʻomohala kekahi mau ʻano Bulbophyllum i kahi ʻala ikaika a ʻoluʻolu ʻole, e hoʻohālike ana i ka ʻiʻo palaho e huki ai i nā nalo pollinating, kahi hoʻolālā evolutionary hoihoi e pono ke noiʻi ʻia ma mua o ke kūʻai ʻana.

Pehea e noiʻi ai i ke ʻala i manaʻo ʻia ma mua o ka loaʻa ʻana o kahi ʻano hou?

Ke hōʻoia mau nei au me ka mea kūʻai aku a noiʻi paha ma ka pūnaewele inā he ʻala ʻoluʻolu ʻole ko ka ʻano Bulbophyllum aʻu e noʻonoʻo nei, e pale ana i nā mea kupanaha ma hope o ka pua ʻana o ka mea kanu i loko o ka hale, ʻoiai ke noʻonoʻo nei ua pua kekahi no kahi manawa lōʻihi.

ʻO ke kiʻekiʻe o ka haʻahaʻa ka mea e makemake nui ai ka hapa nui o nā ʻano o kēia genus.

E like me kaʻu i wehewehe mua ai ma kahi ʻatikala ʻē aʻe e pili ana i ka haʻahaʻa, he mea nui kēia mea no kekahi orchid, a ʻo Bulbophyllum, nele i kahi pseudobulb mālama paʻa i ka hapa nui o nā ʻano, ʻoi aku ka pōmaikaʻi mai ka haʻahaʻa kiʻekiʻe a mau i ka makahiki.

Ke hahai nei au i kahi hana hoʻoinu wai, e mālama mau ana i ka lepo i kahi pulu iki.

E hoʻoinu pinepine, e like me ke kumumanaʻo i hōʻike mua ʻia no Paphiopedilum lāua ʻo Masdevallia ma nā ʻatikala ʻē aʻe, e pale ana i nā wā maloʻo lōʻihi e hiki ai ke hoʻopilikia i ka pseudobulb liʻiliʻi a me ke aʻa maikaʻi o kēia ʻano.

Mālamalama kaulike, kānana ʻia, e pale ana i ka pili pololei ʻana.

Hoʻomanawanui ka hapa nui o nā ʻano o kēia ʻano i ka mālamalama palupalu, e like me kaʻu i hōʻike kikoʻī ai e pili ana iā Phalaenopsis, e hōʻike ana i ko lākou kumu mai ka papahele ulu lāʻau nui kahi i hiki ʻole ai ka mālamalama pololei i ka lepo a i ʻole nā ​​​​lālā haʻahaʻa.

ʻAno like ʻole ke ʻano o ka pua i loko o kēia ʻano pua hoʻokahi.

Ua ʻike au i nā ʻano pua liʻiliʻi, kokoke ʻike ʻole ʻia e ka maka ʻōlohelohe, a ʻo nā mea ʻē aʻe me nā pua lōʻihi e kulou ana e luliluli ana me ka neʻe ʻana o ka ea—he ʻano like ʻole a ʻaʻole loa wau e loaʻa iā ia ma kekahi ʻano ʻē aʻe i hōʻike kikoʻī ʻia ma nā ʻatikala ʻē aʻe ma kēia pūnaewele.

ʻO ke kumu aʻu e hoʻohana nei e hoʻoikaika i ka aeration maikaʻi no ka rhizome o ka ʻili.

E hoʻohana i ka sphagnum moss a i ʻole ka ʻili paina maikaʻi loa, e mālama ana i ka rhizome kokoke i ka ʻili o ka substrate ma kahi o ke kanu ʻana, no ka mea, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka ulu ʻana o kēia ʻano me ka aeration maikaʻi a puni kona ʻano ulu ākea.

ʻO ka mea hoʻomomona i hoʻoheheʻe ʻia aʻu e hoʻopili pinepine ai a me ke kaulike.

Ke hahai nei au i ke kumumanaʻo laulā i hōʻike mua ʻia ma kahi ʻatikala ʻē aʻe e pili ana i ka hoʻoulu ʻana, me ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka nui o ka hoʻoheheʻe ʻia, ʻoiai ʻaʻole ʻae ka pseudobulb liʻiliʻi o kēia ʻano i nā meaola i hoʻonui nui ʻia e like me nā ʻano me nā waihona wai nui e hiki ke omo.

Pehea wau i hoʻoholo ai e hoʻonui i kaʻu hōʻiliʻili ma hope o koʻu ʻike maikaʻi ʻana i ke ʻano moʻolelo.

Ma hope o ke aʻo ʻana i ka mālama maʻamau o kaʻu Bulbophyllum mua, ua loaʻa iaʻu nā ʻano ʻē aʻe me nā ʻano like ʻole a me nā ʻala, e hoʻohana ana i ka ʻokoʻa o kēia ʻano e hana i kahi hui liʻiliʻi i loko o kaʻu hōʻiliʻili orchid holoʻokoʻa, e lawe mai ana kēlā me kēia ʻano i kahi mea kupanaha ʻike.

ʻO kahi hewa aʻu i hana ai ma mua, ʻo ia ka kanu hohonu ʻana i ka ʻōhiʻa.

I nā pule mua, ua kanu au i kaʻu Bulbophyllum me ka rhizome i uhi hapa ʻia e ka substrate, e hoʻohālike ana i kaʻu i hana ai me nā ʻano pseudobulb kuʻuna, a ua ʻike au i ka ulu lohi hou a hiki i ka wā i hoʻoponopono ai au a waiho i ka rhizome ma luna o ka ʻili, e like me ka makemake o kēia ʻano.

He kaiāulu kūikawā ma ke ʻano he kumuwaiwai waiwai nui no kēia ʻano moʻolelo ākea.

Ke komo nei au i kahi hui pūnaewele i hoʻolaʻa kūikawā ʻia no Bulbophyllum, kahi e kaʻana like ai nā mea kanu ʻike ʻē aʻe i ka ʻike e pili ana i nā ʻano kikoʻī i paʻakikī ke loaʻa ma nā kumu laulā, kahi kumuwaiwai i lilo i mea nui loa i ka noʻonoʻo ʻana i ka paʻakikī o kēia ʻano a me ka nele o nā mea hilinaʻi ma ka ʻōlelo Pukiki.

Pehea e hoʻopaʻa ai i kēlā me kēia ʻano ʻano like ʻole i ʻole e huikau i nā koi mālama kikoʻī?

Ma kaʻu puke moʻolelo ulu, i ʻōlelo mua ʻia ma kahi ʻatikala ʻē aʻe, ke kākau nei au i ka inoa kikoʻī o kēlā me kēia Bulbophyllum a me nā ʻala a i ʻole nā ​​​​koi mālama aʻu i ʻike ai, ʻoiai ʻo ka ʻokoʻa nui o kēia ʻano e maʻalahi ai ka huikau ʻana i nā pono o kekahi ʻano me nā mea ʻē aʻe.

He mea nui ka mālama ʻana i kēia rhizome i hōʻike ʻia no ka ea mau.

E like me kaʻu i wehewehe mua ai ma kekahi ʻatikala e pili ana i ka ea, he mea nui kēia mālama no kekahi orchid, a no Bulbophyllum, me kona rhizome i hōʻike ʻia ma luna o ka ʻili a mālama mau ʻia ka substrate i ka pulu, lilo ka holo ʻana o ka ea i mea nui e pale ai i ka pala ʻana o kēia ʻano ulu i ʻano o ka genus.

Pehea wau i koho ai e kau i kēlā me kēia ʻano like ʻole e noʻonoʻo ana i ka ʻala i manaʻo ʻia.

No nā ʻano like ʻole me kahi ʻala ʻoluʻolu ʻole i ʻike ʻia, mālama wau i kahi kihi ma kahi mamao aku mai kahi e noho ai ka hale, e like me kahi lānai lawelawe, e hōʻoia ana ʻaʻole e hoʻopilikia ka pua i kekahi manawa i ka poʻe i ka wā e ikaika loa ai ke ʻala.

ʻO ka ʻokoʻa o ka wikiwiki o ka ulu ʻana ma waena o nā ʻano i loko o ka genus

Ua ʻike au he ʻoi aku ka wikiwiki o ka ulu ʻana o kekahi mau ʻano Bulbophyllum ma mua o nā ʻano ʻē aʻe, me ka rhizome e holomua ana i kēlā me kēia mau pule, ʻoiai hiki i nā ʻano lohi ke hala i nā mahina e hōʻike i nā hōʻailona ʻike ʻia o ka ulu hou ʻana.

Pehea e hoʻololi ai i ka ipu i ka wā e ulu ai ka rhizome ma mua o ka lihi o ka ipu o kēia manawa?

I koʻu ʻike ʻana aku i ka rhizome e hoʻokokoke ana i ka lihi o ka ipu, hoʻoili wau iā ia i kahi ipu nui a pāpaʻu, me ka makaʻala ʻaʻole e hōʻino i ke ʻano i ka wā o ke kaʻina hana, e hōʻoia ana i ka lawa ʻana o kahi no ka ulu ʻana i ka pae ākea me ka palena ʻole e hoʻomau i nā kau e hiki mai ana.

Nā nīnau i nīnau ʻia mai iaʻu e pili ana i ka Bulbophyllum

He ʻala ʻoluʻolu ʻole anei nā ʻano Bulbophyllum a pau?
ʻAʻole, ʻo kekahi o lākou wale nō i hoʻomohala i kēlā ʻano ʻala e huki ai i kahi pollinator kikoʻī, no laila he mea pono ke noiʻi ʻana i ke ʻano like ma mua o ke kūʻai ʻana inā he mea nui ia i kāu hoʻoholo kūʻai.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻia ʻo Bulbophyllum no nā poʻe hoʻomaka e hoʻomaka ana e ulu i nā orchids?
Aia nui ia i ke ʻano kikoʻī i loko o ka genus, no laila ke paipai nei au e hana i ka noiʻi piha ma mua o ke koho ʻana, ʻoiai ʻoi aku ka hoʻomanawanui o kekahi mau ʻano ma mua o nā mea ʻē aʻe i loko o kēia ʻano like ʻole.

Pono anei au i kahi ipu kūikawā e ulu ai ʻo Bulbophyllum?
ʻAʻole kūikawā loa, akā ke paipai nei au e hoʻoikaika i kahi ipu pāpaʻu a ākea ma mua o ka ipu hohonu maʻamau, ʻoiai ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka ulu ʻana o kēia ʻano i kēia ʻano ipu ma mua o ka ipu hohonu a kuʻuna.

Ua hoʻolauna mai ka ulu ʻana o Bulbophyllum iaʻu i kahi ʻano like ʻole aʻu i ʻike ʻole ai aia i loko o ka honua orchid, e hoʻoikaika ana i ka manaʻo he nui nā mea e aʻo ai a ʻike ai, ʻoiai ma hope o nā makahiki o ka mahi ʻana i nā ʻano like ʻole ma ka home a me ka hōʻiliʻili ʻana i ka ʻike me nā ʻano like ʻole.
