Epidendrum: te ōkiti e puāwai tonu ana, he aratohu tipu.

I riro mai i ahau taku Epidendrum tuatahi i te mea he tipu iti noa iho, me te mea he ringa noa iho o ngā kakau angiangi, kāore i te tino kitea. Kāore au i tino tumanako ki taua tipu iti, engari i roto i ētahi marama ka ohorere ahau i te kitenga i tētahi putiputi matotoru o ngā putiputi iti, kanapa i runga i ia kakau, e whakaatu ana i tētahi pua nui kāore anō kia kitea e au i roto i tētahi atu momo i roto i taku kohinga tae noa ki taua wā.

Ko te tipu o te tō, he āhuatanga e wehewehe ana i tēnei momo.

Ka tupu te Epidendrum i runga i tētahi kakau roa, angiangi e kiia nei ko te tokotoko, he rite ki taku i kōrero ai mō te Dendrobium i tētahi atu tuhinga, ahakoa he angiangi ake, he tū tika ake, ka hanga he pūhui matotoru i te putanga ake o ngā kakau hou i roto i te wā.

He tino puāwai tonu, he āhuatanga onge i waenga i ngā momo.

He rerekē tēnei i te nuinga o ngā ōkiti kua whakaahuatia i roto i ētahi atu tuhinga, e puāwai ana i tētahi wā motuhake o te tau, ka taea e Epidendrum te whakaputa pua tata tonu i te tau i raro i ngā āhuatanga pai, he whanonga atawhai e waiho ana hei tētahi o ngā momo tino whai hua i roto i taku kohinga.

He putiputi matotoru o ngā putiputi iti kei te tihi o ia kakau.

He rerekē tēnei i te putiputi Cattleya nui, takitahi, kua whakamāramahia kētia i tētahi atu tuhinga, ka puta he tautau putiputi iti ki te tihi o te kakau o Epidendrum, ka hanga he āhua ataahua rite ki te putiputi putiputi, he rerekē rawa atu i te toenga o te kohinga.

He ngawari te whakatipu i tēnei momo, he pai mō te hunga tīmata.

He pai te Epidendrum ki te tu atu ki ngā momo āhuatanga maha, ā, he nui ake tōna manawanui ki ngā hapa tiaki i ērā momo uaua ake pērā i a Vanda, i a Odontoglossum rānei, kua whakamāramahia kētia i roto i ētahi atu tuhinga, ā, he kōwhiringa haumaru tēnei mō te hunga kei te ako tonu.

Ko te ātete o tēnei momo ki te mārama kei waenga i te ngawari ki te kaha.

He pai te tu atu a tēnei tipu ki te mārama ngawari me te mārama kaha, he ngāwari hoki ki te urutau ki ngā tūranga rerekē o roto, ahakoa kua kite ahau i te nui haere o te pua ina pāngia e te mārama kaha ake, he rite ki taku i kōrero ai mō Cattleya.

Ko te tikanga whakamakuku ka whai ahau, engari kāore e tino kaha rawa te wā i waenga i ia whakatōnga.

Whakainumia ina tata maroke te oneone, kaua e manukanuka nui ki te tino tika, nā te mea ka taea e Epidendrum te whakamanawanui i ngā wā maroke i ētahi wā me te whakainu pinepine ake, he ngāwari tēnei e tino āwhina ana i te mahi a te hunga e whakatipu ana i tēnei momo.

He papa noa e whakamahia ana e au, kāore he whakaritenga motuhake.

E whakamahia ana e au te kiri paina waenga-kiko kua whakahuatia kētia i tētahi atu tuhinga, kāore e hiahiatia he whakarerekētanga motuhake mō tēnei momo, nā te mea ka urutau pai ki te ranunga paerewa kua whakamahia e au mō te nuinga o te kohinga.

He māmā noa te whakatipu mā te tamariki, he āhuatanga noa tēnei momo.

E ai ki taku kōrero taipitopito mō Dendrobium i tētahi atu tuhinga, he maha ngā wā ka puta ake ngā tamariki i Epidendrum, arā, ngā tipu iti e puta ake ana i te taha o te rākau, he tikanga whakatipu ngāwari noa iho kua whakamahia e au i ētahi wā hei whakawhānui ake i taku kohinga o tēnei momo.

He whānuitanga o ngā tae e wātea ana i roto i tēnei momo.

Ka kitea e au a Epidendrum i roto i te karaka, te whero, te māwhero, te kōwhai, me te papura, he whānuitanga o ngā tae e āhei ai ahau ki te kohikohi i tētahi kohinga iti o tēnei momo anake me te whānuitanga o ngā tae tirohanga me te kore e tāruarua te tae i waenga i ngā tauira rerekē.

Te whakatō kai i ia wā, e whakamahia ana e au i nga wa katoa i te wa e pua ana.

E whai ana ahau i te mātāpono whānui kua whakamāramahia kētia i tētahi atu tuhinga mō te whakamomona, engari he paku teitei ake te auau i taku e whakamahi ai mō ngā momo pua o te wā, nā te mea me nui ake te whakarato o ngā matūkai mō te tipu tonu me te whakaputa pua.

Me pēhea te tapahi i te kakau i muri i te wā pua roa?

Ka tapahia e au te kākano tata ki te pūtake ina mutu te pua hou mō ētahi wiki karapīpiti, nā te mea he maha ngā wā ka puāwai tonu te kākano kotahi mō ngā marama, he rerekē ki te tauira kua tautuhia ake o ētahi atu momo me te huringa kotahi, e taea ai te matapae.

Te teitei ka taea e ētahi momo Epidendrum te eke.

Ka taea e ētahi momo te tipu teitei rawa, neke atu i te kotahi mita te teitei i raro i ngā āhuatanga pai, ā, me nui ake te tautoko i taku e whakamahi ai mō ētahi atu momo i roto i taku kohinga, ā, i kitea e au tēnei āhuatanga i muri i te tipu nui o taku tipu tuatahi.

Me pēhea te whakamahi i tētahi tautoko pakari hei akiaki i te tipu roa o tēnei momo?

I tāuta e au he pou pāpaka pakari, he ātete ake i te pou angiangi e whakamahia ana e au mō ētahi atu ōkiti, kia kore ai te tokotoko roa, taumaha e hinga i a ia e tipu haere tonu ana, e piki haere ana hoki te teitei i ngā marama e whai ake nei o te tipu kaha.

Te whakakotahi i a Epidendrum me te toenga o te kohinga me te kore he here nui.

He rerekē tēnei i te rōpū whiriwhiri kua whakamāramahia kētia i roto i tētahi atu tuhinga mō te whakarite i ngā mahi o ia rā, he tino pai te noho tahi o Epidendrum me ētahi atu momo, nā te whānui o te manawanui i kōrerotia e au i mua ake nei, ā, he mea nui tēnei hei āwhina i te whakaritenga whānui o te kohinga katoa.

I hē ahau i mua nā te whakaiti i te tipu o tēnei momo.

I whakatōkia e au taku Epidendrum tuatahi ki roto i tētahi kohua iti rawa, kāore i whakaarohia te nui o tōna tipu i roto i te wā poto, ā, me whakatō wawe atu ki tētahi ipu nui ake i te wā i whakaarohia, hei whakamahara he tika kia nui te wāhi mō tēnei momo atawhai mai i te tīmatanga o te whakatipu.

Kei te tuhi i te wā pua tonu ki roto i taku pukatuhi whakatipu.

Ka tuhia e au ki taku pukatuhi whakatipu, kua whakahuatia kētia i tētahi atu tuhinga, te maha o ngā marama karapīpiti o ia Epidendrum motuhake e puāwai ana, he tuhinga tēnei e āwhina ana i ahau ki te whakatairite i ngā momo rerekē me te tautuhi ko tēhea momo e tino kitea ana mō tōna nui me tōna roa o te puāwaitanga.

Te rerekētanga i waenga i te momo ngokingoki me te momo kākano roa o tēnei puninga.

Haunga te momo kākano roa kua kōrerotia kētia e au, kei reira anō tētahi rōpū Epidendrum e ngokingoki ana, e whāiti ana hoki, e horapa whakapae ana, he rite ki te tauira tipu i whakaahuatia mō Ludisia i tētahi atu tuhinga, he kōwhiringa whakamere tēnei mā te hunga e pai ake ana ki tētahi tipu poto ake i roto i te momo kotahi, he nui hoki te pua.

Me pēhea taku whakamahi i a Epidendrum hei whakakī i ngā āputa takoto kau i roto i taku kohinga puta noa i te tau.

Ka whakamahia e au te puāwai tonu o tēnei momo kia mau tonu ai te puāwai o ētahi tipu ki te kāinga, ahakoa i ngā wā he rau anake te nuinga o ngā ōkiti kē atu o te kohinga, kāore he pua e tupu ana i taua wā tonu o te huringa ā-tau o ia momo.

Ngā pātai kua pātaihia mai ki ahau mō Epidendrum

He pai te Epidendrum hei putiputi tuatahi mā te tangata kāore anō kia whakatipuria i mua?
Ae, he kōwhiringa pai rawa atu tēnei nā te mea he whānui tōna manawanui ki ngā momo tiaki rerekē, ā, he māmā ake te uru atu ki tēnei momo i ngā momo uaua ake pērā i a Vanda, i a Odontoglossum rānei, kua whakamāramahia kētia i roto i ētahi atu tuhinga.

He aha i mutu ai te puāwaitanga o taku Epidendrum i muri i ētahi marama maha o te wai?
He wā okiokinga noa iho pea tēnei i muri i te huringa whakaputa roa, nō reira me pupuri tonu te tiaki me te tatari, i te mea ka hoki anō te pua i muri i te wā okiokinga poto.

Me hiahia ahau ki tētahi kaiako mai i te tīmatanga o te whakatipu i tēnei momo?
Kāore pea i te tīmatanga tonu, engari ka tūtohu ahau kia wātea he taputapu tautoko hei tāuta ina kite koe i te tokotoko e teitei ake ana i te mea i whakaarohia, kia kore ai e hinga i mua i te taea e koe te whakarato i te tautoko e tika ana.

Nā te whakatipu i a Epidendrum i ako ahau, ko te tipu tino whakahīhī i te tīmatanga ehara i te mea tino whai hua i ngā wā katoa, ā, kua noho ko tēnei momo whakaiti hei tētahi o aku tino pai nā te atawhai me te auau e tukuna ana e ia puta noa i te tau, me te kore e hiahiatia he tiaki uaua, he aro nui rawa atu rānei i ia rā.
