ʻO Paphiopedilum: ka ʻōkeka paheʻe, i ulu ʻia i ka malu.

ʻO Paphiopedilum ka ʻokika paheʻe: hana ka petal lalo i ʻeke e like me ke kāmaʻa liʻiliʻi. Ma waho aʻe o kona ʻano, he ʻelua mau ʻano mahiʻai kū hoʻokahi e hoʻokaʻawale iā ia mai ke koena—ʻo ia ka genus kaulana loa e pono ai ka liʻiliʻi o ka mālamalama, a ʻo ia wale nō kahi e hōʻike maopopo ai ka lau i ka mahana a ka mea kanu e makemake ai.

Hōʻike ka pepa i ka mahana āna e makemake ai.

ʻO kēia ka pōkole pono loa o kona ʻano, a he mea kūpono ke noʻonoʻo ʻia ma mua o kekahi papa ʻaina. Aia ʻelua mau hui nui, a hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike iā lākou me ka ʻike ʻole i ka inoa o nā ʻano:

ʻO nā lau kinikini , me kahi ʻano māka māmā a ʻeleʻele: makemake i nā wahi mehana. ʻO nā lau ʻōmaʻomaʻo like : makemake i nā wahi anuanu. ʻO nā ʻano lau lipine, e hua ana i kekahi mau pua no kēlā me kēia kumu, e ʻimi pū ana hoʻi i nā wahi mehana.

I ka hana maoli, hoʻoholo kēia i kahi e noho ai ka mea kanu i loko o ka hale. Inā he kinikini kāu a ua kau ʻoe iā ia ma ke kihi anuanu loa no ka mea ua manaʻo ʻoe makemake nā ʻokika paheʻe āpau i ke anu, e ulu wale nō ia. Hāʻawi ka pepa ʻoiaʻiʻo o ka American Orchid Society i ka pae mahana maʻamau no ka genus he 12,7 a 22,2 °C i ka pō a me 21 a 29,4 °C i ke ao , a aia i loko o kēia pae i hoʻolaha ʻia ai nā hui ʻelua - nā mea kinikini ma ka ʻaoʻao o luna, nā mea ʻōmaʻomaʻo ma ka ʻaoʻao o lalo.

He koi ke kukui haʻahaʻa, ʻaʻole he hoʻomanawanui.

ʻO ka laulā kukui i ʻōlelo ʻia he 10.750 a 21.500 lumens (1.000-2.000 kapuaʻi-kukui) - like ia me nā orchids Phalaenopsis, a ma lalo loa o nā kukui 2.000-3.500 kapuaʻi-kukui o kahi orchid Cattleya. I loko, paipai ka AOS i kahi puka makani e kū pono ana i ka hikina, ʻākau, a i ʻole ke komohana me hoʻokahi a ʻehā hola o ka lā pololei.

E nānā i ka unuhi: ʻo "puka makani ʻākau" ma laila e pili ana i ka puka makani i maʻa mau ʻole ʻia no ka mea mai ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa mai nā kuhikuhi. Ma ka Hemisphere Hema, ʻo ke kūlike ka puka makani hema. ʻO kēlā me kēia mea e heluhelu ana i nā kuhikuhi a kau i ka mea kanu ma ka puka makani ʻākau ma ʻaneʻi ma Brazil ke hāʻawi nei iā ia i ke kuhikuhi ikaika loa i loko o ka hale, ʻaʻole ka mea kūpono loa.

ʻOi aku ka haʻahaʻa o ka makū ma mua o ke koena o ka hui.

Eia ka lua o ka nūhou maikaʻi no ka mahi ʻana i loko: ʻo ka pae i ʻōlelo ʻia he 40 a 50% ka haʻahaʻa pili. ʻOi aku kēia ma mua o Phalaenopsis (50 a 80%) a ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi ma mua o Masdevallia (70 a 90%). I nā huaʻōlelo ʻē aʻe, ʻo Paphiopedilum kekahi o nā mea liʻiliʻi ʻaʻole pono i kahi humidifier ma ka hapa nui o nā wahi home.

ʻOiai ʻaʻohe ona pseudobulb, pono e mālama mau ʻia ka substrate i ka pulu mau, akā ʻaʻole i piha i ka wai. ʻO ka ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo a AOS, ʻo ia ka hoʻoinu ʻana i ka wai i ka wā e hiki ai ke anuanu i kahi maloʻo—mai kali a maloʻo loa.

Mea hoʻomomona: mahele piha o ka formula nāwaliwali

He hoʻohuli kēia i ke ʻano hana e pili ana i ka hapa nui o nā ʻokikena, a he mea maʻalahi ke kuhihewa. ʻO ka ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo o kēia manawa he mahele piha o kahi mea hoʻoulu palupalu — ma waena o 5-5-5 a me 10-10-10 — ma kahi o ke ʻano hana kahiko o ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka hapaha mahele o kahi mea hoʻoulu ikaika e like me 20-20-20.

Hana ʻia ka hana maʻamau i ka makahiki holoʻokoʻa, me ka holoi ʻia ʻana o ka substrate i hoʻokahi manawa i ka mahina a i ʻole hapaha paha e wehe i ka paʻakai i hōʻiliʻili ʻia. Ke hoʻololi hou ʻia nei i kēlā me kēia ʻelua makahiki , a i ʻole i ka wā e pala ai ka substrate; hana ʻia nā ʻoki liʻiliʻi i kēlā me kēia makahiki.

ʻEkolu mau ʻano a me nā hybrids e hoʻomaka me.

He ʻokoʻa nui ke koho ma ʻaneʻi, no ka mea, ʻo ka hui kūpono e pili ana i ke aniau o kou home - a ʻo ke kūʻai ʻana i ka mea hewa ke kumu maʻamau no ka hoʻonāukiuki ʻana me kēia ʻano huahana.

ʻO nā hybrids mai ka hui Maudiae kahi hoʻomaka palekana loa no ke aniau Palakila: he lau kinikini ko lākou, no laila makemake lākou i nā ʻāpana mahana o ka laulā mea kanu, pua maʻalahi, a ʻo ia ka mea maʻalahi loa ke loaʻa. Inā ʻoe e noho ana ma kahi mahana a hoʻokahi wale nō kāu e kūʻai ai, ʻo ia kēia.

He lau ʻōmaʻomaʻo like ko Paphiopedilum insigne a ʻo ia kekahi o nā mea hoʻomanawanui loa o kona ʻano—ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ke kū ʻana i nā ʻano mālama like ʻole ma mua o ka awelika, a he koho maikaʻi ia no ka poʻe nona nā hale anuanu a noho paha ma nā wahi mauna.

He pua ʻulaʻula ko Paphiopedilum delenatii a he ʻala hoʻi, he mea maʻamau ʻole ia no ka ʻano. ʻOi aku kona koi ma mua o nā mea ʻelua ma mua a ʻaʻole wau e paipai iā ia ma ke ʻano he koho mua—ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi no ka wā i hoʻokumu maikaʻi ʻia ai ke kaiapuni.

Wai: ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi ma mua o ka nui

He ʻano maʻalahi ʻo Paphiopedilum i ka hōʻiliʻili ʻana o ka paʻakai i loko o ka substrate—ʻaʻole i ke ʻano kiʻekiʻe like me ka Masdevallia, akā ua lawa ia e hiki ai i ka wai paʻakikī ke hoʻopilikia i nā mahina. ʻO ia ke kumu e ʻōlelo ai nā alakaʻi AOS (American Society of Ophthalmology) e holoi i ka substrate i kēlā me kēia manawa: ʻo ka holoi ʻana e wehe pono i ka paʻakai i koe ma hope o kēlā me kēia hoʻoinu ʻana a me ka hoʻoulu ʻana.

Inā paʻakikī kāu wai paipa, ʻike ʻia ka ʻokoʻa ma ka piko o ka lau, kahi e ʻeleʻele a maloʻo, e hoʻomaka ana me nā lau kahiko loa. He mea maʻalahi ke huikau i kēia me ka fungus, a ʻo ke ʻano o ka mālama ʻana he ʻokoʻa ia: e holoi pono i ka substrate me ka wai ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi a hoʻololi i ka medium, mai hoʻopili i ka fungicide.

Hoʻoponopono ka wai ua i ka pilikia. I kahi hiki ʻole ai, ʻo ka hoʻololi ʻana i ka hoʻoinu mau ʻana me ka holoi nui i hoʻokahi manawa i ka mahina e hōʻemi nui ai i ka hōʻiliʻili ʻana.

Mai hoʻomaʻū i ke kikowaena o ka rosette.

Ulu ʻo Paphiopedilum i ke ʻano peʻahi me nā lau e hoʻomaka ana mai kahi kiko waena, a ʻo ka wai kū ma ia kikowaena i kahi ʻoluʻolu ʻole e pala ai ke kiko ulu. ʻO ia ke ʻano hana like me ka pala o ka lei aliʻi i nā orchids Phalaenopsis, a pili ka mālama like: e hoʻoinu a puni ka lihi o ka ipuhao i ke kakahiaka , a inā hāʻule ka wai i waenakonu, e hoʻomaloʻo me kahi kāwele pepa.

ʻOi aku ka ʻoiaʻiʻo o kēia ma ʻaneʻi no ka mea he haʻahaʻa kona pae haʻahaʻa (40 a 50%) a nui ka poʻe e uku ma o ka noe ʻana i ka mea kanu. ʻO ka noe ʻana i nā lau o ka slipper orchid ka mea kūpono ʻole - inā pono ʻoe e hoʻonui i ka haʻahaʻa, e hoʻohana i kahi pā me ka lepo hoʻonui pulu a puni, ʻaʻole e hoʻoinu pololei ma luna o ka mea kanu.

Pehea ka lōʻihi o ka pua, a he aha ka mea e hana ai ma hope?

ʻO ka pua Paphiopedilum kekahi o nā pua ʻokikina hale lōʻihi loa—noho mau ia no kekahi mau pule, a i kekahi mau ʻano no ʻelua mahina. ʻO kēia kekahi hapa o ka hoihoi o ka genus: he kakaikahi nā pua, akā no ka manawa lōʻihi.

Ma hope o ka mae ʻana o ka pua, e ʻoki i ke kumu ma ke kumu. ʻAʻole e like me nā ʻoki Phalaenopsis, ʻaʻole e pua hou kēia mea kanu ma ke kumu hoʻokahi: pua hoʻokahi kēlā me kēia peʻahi lau, a laila hoʻokomo ka mea kanu i ka ulu ʻaoʻao hou, ʻo ia ka mea e pua aʻe. No laila, ʻaʻole e pua kahi mea kanu me hoʻokahi peʻahi lau i ʻelua mau makahiki i ka lālani—ʻo ia kona pōʻaiapuni kūlohelohe, ʻaʻole he pilikia me kona mālama ʻana.

Māhele: e makaʻala, ʻaʻole ʻo ia e kala mai.

Me ka ʻole o kahi pseudobulb, ʻaʻohe waihona o Paphiopedilum e kākoʻo i ka mahele ʻana o nā lau. He ulu ʻokoʻa kēlā me kēia peʻahi lau, a ʻo ka mahele ʻana o kahi ulu hoʻokahi e hoʻōki loa i ka ulu ʻana—hiki ke hala nā makahiki e hoʻomaka hou ai, inā hana ia.

ʻO ka palena palekana, ʻo ia ke waiho ʻana i ʻelua a ʻekolu mau wana no kēlā me kēia ʻokiʻoki . He ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o ka ʻoki ʻana ma mua o ka mea āu e loaʻa ai mai kahi Cattleya o ka nui like, a ʻo ia ke kumukūʻai o kahi ʻano i mālama ʻole i ka wai. Pono e hana ʻia ka māhele ʻana me ka repotting, ma hope koke o ka pua ʻana.

Nā lāʻau lapaʻau multifloral, a no ke aha e pono ai ke ahonui.

Aia kekahi hui ʻekolu e pono ke ʻike, ʻoiai inā ʻaʻole ʻoe he mea hoʻomaka: nā ʻokika multifloral , me nā lau lōʻihi e like me ka lipine, e hua mai ana i kekahi mau pua ma kahi kumu kiʻekiʻe ma kahi o hoʻokahi wale nō. ʻO ka mea kaulana loa ʻo Paphiopedilum rothschildianum , me nā petals ʻaoʻao lōʻihi e wehe kokoke ana i ka ʻaoʻao, ʻo ia kekahi o nā ʻokika i makemake nui ʻia.

ʻO ke kumu nui, ʻo ia ka manawa. He nui nā mea kanu multifloral a lohi ka ulu ʻana—he pinepine lākou e hala i kekahi mau makahiki e hiki ai i ka nui o ka pua, a he nui ka pua wale nō ke hiki ka peʻahi o nā lau i kahi nui. ʻO ke kūʻai ʻana i kahi hua liʻiliʻi me ka manaʻo e pua i ke kau aʻe he mea ia e hoʻohoka ai.

Hoʻopili pū lākou i ka hopena mahana o ka pae mahana, e like me nā ʻano kinikini. Inā ʻo ka manaʻo e hōʻea i kēia hui, ʻo ke ala kūpono e hoʻoponopono mua i ke kaiapuni me kahi hybrid Maudiae, a laila e hoʻopukapuka wale i kahi mea kanu e pono ai nā makahiki o ka ulu mau ma mua o ka uku ʻana iā ʻoe.

No wai ʻo ia ke koho kūpono?

Inā ʻaʻole nui ka mālamalama o kou home a me ka ea maloʻo—kahi hui pū ʻana e keakea ana i ka aneane o nā ʻōkeka kaulana—ʻo ka Paphiopedilum paha ka ʻōkeka kūpono loa nou. He ʻokoʻa ia o ka ʻōkeka Vanda, kahi e pono ai ka lā ikaika a me ka hoʻoinu ʻana i kēlā me kēia lā.

ʻO ke keakea wale nō ka pua: hoʻokahi pua maʻamau no kēlā me kēia kumu i ka hapa nui o nā ʻano, e mau ana no nā pule, akā nele i ka nui o ka pua Phalaenopsis. He ʻōkeka ia no ka poʻe makemake i nā ʻano ʻē, ʻaʻole ka nui.
