Bulbophyllum: te momo ōkiti nui rawa atu, te kanorau me te tiaki.

I riro mai i ahau taku Bulbophyllum tuatahi i tētahi hui whakawhiti kaiwhakatipu, kāore au i te tino mōhio ki taku e uru atu nei. Nō muri mai ka kitea e au koinei te momo ōkiti nui rawa atu o te ao, me ngā mano tini o ngā momo kua whakarārangihia, he rerekē ngā āhuatanga o ia momo i roto i te rōpū whakarōpū kotahi.

He aha te Bulbophyllum i kiia ai ko te puninga ōkiti tino maha?

Ahakoa ngā mano tini o ngā momo kua whakaahuatia, he nui ake tēnei puninga i te kanorau kua whakaahuatia kētia mō te Dendrobium i tētahi atu tuhinga, mai i ngā mea iti e kore e kitea ki ngā tauira he nui, he ātaahua hoki ngā putiputi, ā, he tino mōrearea te whakawhanui i te tiaki.

He iti, he matara te tawhiti o te putiputi, he āhuatanga tipu motuhake tēnei o tēnei momo.

He rerekē tēnei i ngā putiputi whakapūpū o Cattleya, kua whakamāramahia kētia i tētahi atu tuhinga, ko te tikanga ka tipu a Bulbophyllum me ngā putiputi whakapūpū iti, e wehea ana i te taha o tētahi pūtake ngokingoki, ka hanga he tauira tipu whakapae he rerekē rawa atu i ngā pūpū kiato ake e kitea ana i ētahi atu momo.

He kohua pāpaku, he kete tuwhera rānei, kua urutau ki tēnei tipu whakapae.

E ai ki taku kōrero i roto i tētahi atu tuhinga mō ngā momo kohua, ka whiriwhiria e au he ipu e rite ana ki te tipu o te tipu, ā, mō te Bulbophyllum, he pai ake ki ahau he kohua pāpaku, whānui, he kete poka rānei, kia nui ai te wāhi hei horapa whakapae o te pakiaka, me te kore he here.

Kāore i te pai tonu te kakara o ētahi momo o tēnei puninga.

Ahakoa he kakara reka a Cattleya me Brassavola, kua whakamāramahia kētia i roto i ētahi atu tuhinga, kua puta he kakara kaha, he kakara kino hoki i ētahi momo Bulbophyllum, e whai ana i te mīti pirau hei kukume i ngā ngaro whakapūpū, he rautaki whanaketanga whakamīharo e tika ana kia rangahauhia i mua i te hoko.

Me pēhea taku rangahau i te kakara e tumanakohia ana i mua i te hoko i tētahi momo hou?

Ka whakaū tonu ahau ki te kaihoko, ka rangahau rānei i te ipurangi mēnā he kakara kino tō te momo Bulbophyllum e whakaarohia ana e au, kia kore ai e ohorere i muri i te pua o te tipu i roto i te whare, inā koa ka roa te pua o ētahi.

Ko te haumākū teitei te mea e pai ana ki te nuinga o ngā momo o tēnei puninga.

E ai ki taku kōrero i roto i tētahi atu tuhinga mō te haumākū, he mea nui tēnei mō ngā ōkiti katoa, ā, ko te Bulbophyllum, nā te mea kāore he pseudobulb pakari hei pupuri i te makuku i roto i te nuinga o ngā momo, ka tino whai hua mai i te haumākū nui me te pumau puta noa i te tau.

Ka whai ahau i te tikanga whakamakuku, me te pupuri i te oneone kia paku makuku tonu.

Whakainumia i ia wā, i ia wā, he rite ki te mātāpono kua whakamāramahia kētia mō Paphiopedilum me Masdevallia i roto i ētahi atu tuhinga, me te karo i ngā wā maroke roa ka pā kino ki te pseudobulb iti me te pakiaka angiangi o tēnei momo.

Mārama taurite, tātarihia, me te karo i te pānga tika nui.

Ko te nuinga o ngā momo o tēnei puninga ka taea te aro atu ki te mārama ngawari, he rite ki taku i kōrero ai mō te Phalaenopsis, e whakaata ana i tō rātou takenga mai i ngā ngahere raro pārūrū matotoru e kore nei e tae te mārama tika ki te whenua, ki ngā manga o raro rānei.

He tino rerekē te āhua o te putiputi i roto i tēnei puninga kotahi.

Kua kite ahau i ngā tauira he ririki ngā putiputi, tata kore e kitea e te kanohi tahanga, ā, ko ētahi he roa, he piko ngā rau, e rūrū ana i te nekehanga o te hau—he rerekētanga whānui tēnei, kāore au i te kite i roto i tētahi atu momo kua whakamāramahia i roto i ētahi atu tuhinga i runga i tēnei pae tukutuku.

Ko te kaupapa matua o te papa oneone e whakamahia ana e au he pai te rerenga hau mō te mata o te pakiaka.

Whakamahia te pūkohu sphagnum, te kiri paina rānei, kia tata tonu te pūtake ki te mata o te oneone, kaua e tanumia, nā te mea ka pai ake te tipu o tēnei momo me te pai o te hau e karapoti ana i tōna hanganga tipu whakapae.

He tongi kua whakatōkia, e whakamahia ana e au i ia wā, i ia wā.

E whai ana ahau i te mātāpono whānui kua whakamāramahia i roto i tētahi atu tuhinga mō te whakamomona, mā te whakamahi i te kukū kua whakaranua, nā te mea kāore te pseudobulb iti o tēnei momo e aro ki ngā matūkai kukū nui rawa atu, ā, ka taea hoki e ngā momo he nui ake ngā rahui wai te mimiti.

Te huarahi i whakatau ai ahau ki te whakawhānui ake i taku kohinga i muri i taku mōhio ki te momo pukapuka.

I muri i taku mōhio ki te tiaki taketake i taku Bulbophyllum tuatahi, ka kohia e au ētahi atu momo me ngā āhua me ngā kakara rerekē, me te whakamahi i te kanorau o tēnei puninga hei waihanga i tētahi rōpū iti kaupapa i roto i taku kohinga ōkiti whānui, ia tauira e kawe mai ana i tētahi ohorere tirohanga motuhake.

Ko tētahi hapa i mahia e au i mua ko te tanumia hohonu rawa o te pūtake.

I ngā wiki tuatahi, i whakatōkia e au taku Bulbophyllum me te pūtake kua taupokina te papa oneone, he rite ki taku i mahi ai ki te momo pseudobulb tuku iho, ā, i kite ahau i te puhoi haere o te tupu hou tae noa ki te whakatikatika i te tupu, ka waiho te pūtake kia kitea ki te mata, koia hoki te mea e pai ana ki tēnei momo.

He hapori motuhake hei rauemi whai hua mō tēnei momo whānuitanga.

Kei te whai wāhi atu ahau ki tētahi rōpū ipurangi e aro nui ana ki te Bulbophyllum, e whakawhitiwhiti kōrero ana ētahi atu kaiwhakatipu mātau mō ngā momo motuhake e uaua ana ki te kimi i roto i ngā puna whānui, he rauemi kua tino hiahiatia i runga i te uaua o tēnei puninga me te iti o ngā rauemi pono i te reo Pōtikī.

Me pēhea te tuhi i ia momo kia kore ai e whakapoauau i ngā whakaritenga tiaki motuhake?

I roto i taku pukatuhi whakatipu, kua whakahuatia kētia i tētahi atu tuhinga, ka tuhia e au te ingoa motuhake o ia Bulbophyllum me ngā kakara, ngā whakaritenga tiaki rānei kua kitea e au, nā te mea he tino kanorau tēnei momo, he māmā noa iho te whakapoauau i ngā hiahia o tētahi momo me ērā o tētahi atu.

He mea nui te tiaki i tēnei pūtake e kitea ana me te hauhautanga tonu.

E ai ki taku kōrero i roto i tētahi atu tuhinga mō te whakapūhautanga, he mea nui tēnei tiaki mō ngā ōkiti katoa, ā, mō te Bulbophyllum, me te mea kei te kitea ōna pakiaka i te mata, me te mea kei te makuku tonu te papa, he mea nui te rere o te hau hei ārai i te pirau o tēnei hanganga tipu e āhua ana ki te momo.

Te āhua o taku whakanoho i ia momo rerekē me te whakaaro ki te kakara e tumanakohia ana.

Mō ngā momo he kakara kino, ka rāhuitia e au tētahi kokonga i tawhiti atu i te wāhi noho o te whare, pērā i te taupee ratonga, kia kore ai e whakararuraru te tangata i te pua i ētahi wā i te wā e tino kaha ana te kakara.

Te rerekētanga o te tere tipu i waenga i ngā momo i roto i te puninga

I kite ahau he tere ake te tipu o ētahi momo Bulbophyllum i ētahi atu, me te kitea te tipu haere o te pūtake i ia wiki torutoru, engari ko ngā momo puhoi ake ka roa pea ngā marama ka puta mai ngā tohu hou.

Me pēhea te whakatō hou i te tipu ina kua tupu te pūtake ki tua atu i te taha o te kohua o nāianei?

Kia kite atu ahau i te pūtake e whakatata mai ana ki te taha o te ipu, ka whakawhitia e ahau ki tētahi kohua nui ake, pāpaku ake, me te tūpato kei kino te hanganga i te wā e mahia ana, kia nui ai te wāhi hei pupuri i te tipu whakapae kore here i ngā wā e haere ake nei.

Ngā pātai kua pātaihia mai ki ahau mō te Bulbophyllum

He kakara kino tō ngā momo Bulbophyllum katoa?
Kāo, ko ētahi anake o rātou i whakaputa i taua momo kakara hei kukume i tētahi kaiwhakapoipoi motuhake, nō reira he mea tika kia rangahauhia te momo tika i mua i te hoko mēnā he mea nui tēnā i roto i tāu whakatau hoko.

He pai te whakamahi i te Bulbophyllum mō ngā tīmatanga e tīmata ana ki te whakatipu ōkiti?
He nui te whakawhirinaki ki te momo motuhake i roto i te puninga, nō reira ka tūtohu ahau kia rangahau hōhonu i mua i te whiriwhiri, nā te mea he nui ake te manawanui o ētahi momo i ētahi atu i roto i tēnei whānuitanga o te kanorau.

Me whai kohua motuhake ahau hei whakatipu i te Bulbophyllum?
Kāore i te tino motuhake, engari ka tūtohu ahau kia whiriwhiria he kohua pāpaku, whānui, kaua te kohua whānui noa, nā te mea he pai ake te urutau o te tipu whakapae o tēnei momo ki tēnei momo ipu i te kohua hohonu, tuku iho.

Nā te whakatipu Bulbophyllum ahau i whakamōhio ki tētahi kanorau kāore anō kia mōhiotia e au kei roto i te ao ōkiti, ā, i whakakaha ake i te whakaaro he nui tonu ngā mea hei ako me te tūhura, ahakoa ngā tau maha o te whakatipu momo rerekē i te kāinga me te kohi wheako ki ngā momo momo rerekē.
