Ngā rau kua memenge i runga i te orchid: te kore, te nui rānei o te wai, me pēhea te wehewehe?

I pōhēhē ahau i taku kitenga tuatahi i te rau ōkiti e miro ana, e memeha haere ana, nā te mea ko taku hiahia kia nui ake te whakamakuku, me te whakaaro he matewai noa iho te tipu. Nō muri mai ka kitea e au ko ngā rau memenge he tohu mō te korenga me te nui o te wai, he whakaaro hē tēnei kua kite ahau i ētahi atu kaiwhakatipu tīmata e pāngia ana e te whakaaro.

He aha te tikanga o te rau memenge he rerekē rawa.

Ka taea e te kore wai me te nui o te wai te whakararu i te kaha o te pakiaka ki te mimiti me te kawe tika i te makuku ki te rau, ka puta te tohu tirohanga kotahi o te ngaronga o te pakari, ahakoa he tino rerekē te pūtake i roto i ia horopaki.

Me pēhea taku tirotiro i te pakiaka i mua i te whakatau mēnā me nui ake, me iti iho rānei te wai?

Ka tirohia e au te pūnaha pakiaka mā roto i te kohua mārama, e ai ki te kōrero i roto i tētahi atu tuhinga, ka tangohia katoatia rānei te kohua mēnā e tika ana, me te rapu i ngā pakiaka hauora, pakari hoki, e tohu ana i te kore wai, i ngā pakiaka parauri, ngohengohe rānei, e tohu ana i te nui o te wai me te pirau pea.

Ko te kore wai, te take māmā rawa atu hei whakatau ina whakaūngia.

Mena kei te ora te pakiaka engari kua roa rawa te maroke, me whakanui haere i te auau o te whakamakuku, me te tirotiro i te pakari o te rau i ngā rā e whai ake nei i te mea ka makuku anō te tipu mā te tiaki tika.

He nui rawa atu te mākūkū me te pirau o ngā pakiaka, he āhuatanga whakararuraru tēnei.

Mena kua parauri, kua ngohengohe hoki te pakiaka, kua nui rawa atu te raruraru, ā, me whai i te tikanga tango pakiaka kua whakamāramahia kētia i tētahi atu tuhinga, nā te mea kāore te whakaiti noa i te whakamakuku e whakatau i te kino kua pā ki te hanganga pakiaka o nāianei.

Me pēhea taku wehewehe i te tauira tirohanga i waenga i ngā take e rua e taupatupatu ana?

Ko te rau kāore he wai, ka tere te miro haere, ka āhua maeneene, ā, ka āhua ngoikore. Ko te rau ia kua maroke te wai, ā, kua ngoikore ngā pakiaka, ka tere te memeha haere, ā, i ētahi wā ka kowhai te tae o te pūtake.

Te pāmahana nui rawa, tētahi atu take pea ka whakaarohia anō hoki e au.

E ai ki taku kōrero i tētahi atu tuhinga mō te pāmahana pai, ka tere ake te ngaronga o te wai i te wera nui, ā, ka memenge ngā rau ahakoa te nui o te whakamakuku, ā, ka ora hoki ngā pakiaka i roto i te oneone.

Me pēhea taku whakaū mēnā ko te pāmahana te tino pūtake o te raruraru?

Ka tirohia e au mēnā i taurite te memengetanga me tētahi wā wera rerekē, inā koa mēnā he ora te pakiaka, ā, he auau te whakamakuku, he tauira e tohu ana ko te pāmahana te take, kaua ko te kore taurite o te wai.

He iti rawa te kohua mō te pūnaha pakiaka o nāianei, he take kāore i te tino kitea engari he take nui.

E ai ki taku kōrero i tētahi atu tuhinga mō ngā momo kohua, ko ngā pakiaka e kuiti rawa ana i roto i tētahi ipu iti, tera pea ka uaua ki te mimiti i te wai, ahakoa te whakainu auau, ā, me whakawhiti ki tētahi kohua e pai ake ana mō te rahi o te tipu o nāianei.

Me pēhea te whakahoki mai i te mārō o te rau i muri i te whakaū me te whakatika i te take?

I muri i te tautuhi me te whakarerekē i te take, ahakoa he whakamakuku, he pāmahana, he wāhi rānei i roto i te kohua, ka tatari marie ahau, nā te mea ka roa ngā rā, ngā wiki rānei te roa o te hokinga mai o te mārō, i runga i te kaha o te kore taurite taketake.

Ina kore te rau kua memenge e ora anō ahakoa i muri i te whakatikatika tika.

Ki te kore tonu te rau e whakaatu i tētahi tohu o te whakapai ake i roto i ngā wiki, ki taku whakaaro kua mau tonu te kino i roto i taua rau, ā, ki te pērā, ka arotahi ahau ki te whakarite kia ora, kia kaha hoki te rau hou e tupu ana i muri mai.

Kua hē ahau i mua, nā te nui rawa o te whakamakuku, me te whakaaro he kore wai.

I taku kitenga tuatahi i tētahi rau memenge, i whakaaro tonu ahau nā te kore wai, me te nui haere o te whakamakuku me te kore e tirotiro i te pakiaka, ā, ka kino haere te raruraru nā te nui rawa o te whakamakuku i puta ai—he hapa i ako i ahau kia tirotirohia i mua i te mahi ohorere.

Me pēhea taku whakarerekē i taku huarahi whai muri i taku ako mai i taua hapa.

Ināianei ka tirohia e au te pūtake i mua i te whakatau i te whakanui, te whakaiti rānei i te whakainu, me te mōhio kāore e ranea te tohu tirohanga anake, me te kore tēnei rangahau tāpiri, hei whakatau pono i te tino pūtake o te raruraru.

Me pēhea taku tohutohu i tētahi e pātai mai ana ki ahau mō tēnei tohu tino noa, tino pōhēhē hoki?

Ka tono tonu ahau ki te tangata kia tirohia tuatahi te āhua o te pūtake o te mate i mua i te pātai atu i ētahi atu pātai, nā te mea he nui noa iho aua mōhiotanga hei tautuhi wawe ko tēhea o ngā take e pā ana ki taua tohu.

Kei te tuhi i ia wā e memenge ana ngā rau ki roto i taku pukatuhi e tipu ana.

Ka tuhituhi ahau ki taku pukatuhi tipu, kua kōrerotia kētia i tētahi atu tuhinga, ina kite ahau i tētahi rau kua memenge, i aku kitenga i te pakiaka me te whakarerekētanga i whakamahia e au—he tuhinga tēnei e āwhina ana i ahau ki te mahi tere ake me te nui ake o te maia i te wā e whai ake nei ka tupu tēnei.

Ko te mate urutā huna, he take anō e tika ana kia whakakorehia.

E ai ki taku kōrero i roto i ētahi atu tuhinga mō ngā pepeke mealybug me ngā mite, ka taea hoki e ngā pepeke e kai ana i te wai tipu te whakangawari i ngā rau, ahakoa te pūnaha pakiaka tika me te whakainu tika, nō reira ka tirotirohia e au ngā tohu o ēnei pepeke i mua i te whakakore katoa i taua tūponotanga.

Me pēhea taku tauhohe ina kitea e au ko te take he huinga o ngā āhuatanga maha?

I ētahi wā ka kitea e au he maha ngā āhuatanga i te wā kotahi, pērā i te wera nui me te iti rawa o te oko toto, e hiahia ana kia whakatikahia e au ngā mea e rua i te wā kotahi, kaua e aro ki tētahi take takitahi e kore e tino whakamārama i te raruraru.

Me pēhea taku whakamahi i te tirotiro ā-wiki kua oti kē te taipitopito hei hopu wawe i tēnei tohu?

E ai ki taku kōrero i roto i tētahi atu tuhinga mō te whakarite i tō mahinga, mā te tirotiro auau i ia tipu ka kitea wawe te ngoikore o ngā rau, i mua i te whanaketanga o te raruraru, ā, ka tere ake te tautuhi me te whakatika i te raruraru, ki te whakaritea ki te kitenga i te raruraru ina kua tino horapa.

Me pēhea taku whakatairite i te ahua o te rau i roto i te wā hei whakaū i te whakaoranga?

Ka tangohia e au ngā whakaahua o te rau kua pāngia ina kite ahau i te raruraru, ka whakahokia anō tēnei i ia torutoru rā, me te whakatairite taha ki taha hei whakaū mēnā kei te hoki mārire te pakari, he tikanga e whakakore ana i te nuinga o te ruarua mō te mahi a te whakatikatika.

Ngā pātai kua pātaihia mai ki ahau mō ngā rau kua memenge.

Me whakanui tonu taku whakainu ina kite ahau i ngā rau kua memenge?
Kāore pea, nā te mea ko ngā rau memenge he tohu pea mō te kore wai, te nui rānei, nō reira ka tūtohu tonu ahau kia tirohia te pūnaha pakiaka i mua i te whakatau he aha te whakarerekētanga e tika ana mō taua take.

Kia pēhea te roa ka ora ake te rau memenge i muri i te whakatikatika tika?
He rerekē rawa atu i runga i te pūtake me te kaha o te mate, engari ko te tikanga ka tatari ahau mō te kotahi ki te rua wiki i mua i te aromatawai mēnā kua ea te raru pūtake i te whakarerekētanga.

He mea noa rānei kia memeha te rau kotahi anake, engari kei te ora te toenga o te tipu?
Ae, i ētahi wā ka pā noa te raru ki tētahi rau motuhake, inā koa ko te mea tawhito rawa, he kino ā-rohe rānei ki te pakiaka e pā ana ki taua wāhanga, me te kore e whakararu i te hauora whānui o te toenga o te tipu.

Nā te ako ki te rapu i te pūtake o te raruraru i mua i te urupare ohorere, i ako ahau i tētahi akoranga nui mō te manawanui me te mātakitaki tupato, e whakaatu ana kāore te tohu tino kitea e tohu i te otinga tino kitea i roto i te tiaki o ia rā i ngā ōkiti me te toenga o te kohinga.
