Te tongi rau me te tongi pakiaka: te rerekētanga me te wā e whakamahia ai ia tongi.

Kua whakamāramahia e au ngā mātāpono whānui o te whakatō ōkiti i tētahi atu tuhinga, engari he maha ngā pātai motuhake kua tae mai ki ahau mō te rerekētanga i waenga i te whakatō tongi ki ngā pakiaka me te whakatō tongi ki ngā rau. Whai muri i te whakamātautau i ngā huarahi e rua i roto i ngā tau, kua mārama ake ahau ki te mahi tahi a ia huarahi i roto i te whakatipu.

He pēhea te mahi a te mimiti matūkai mā te pakiaka?

Ko te whakatōnga tuku iho, e whakamahia tahitia ana me te wai whakamakuku, ka mimitihia e ngā pakiaka, e whai ana i te ara mimiti wai me ngā matūkai o te tipu mō te tipu. Koinei te tikanga tino noa, ā, koinei te pūtake o taku mahinga o ia rā.

He pēhea te mahi a te rau ki te mimiti i ngā matūkai?

Ka rehuhia tika te tongi rau ki te mata o te rau, ā, ka mimitihia mā roto i ngā pūwero ririki e kiia nei ko te stomata. He tere ake tēnei ara mimiti, engari he iti ake te rahinga ki te whakaritea ki te mimiti o te pakiaka.

Ko te painga matua o te whakamomona rau: te tere o te urupare.

Kua kite ahau i te tere ake o te urupare a ngā tipu i whakaatu i ngā tohu ngawari o te kore kai whai muri i te paninga o te tongi rau, ki te whakaritea ki te wā e pau ana kia kitea te hua o te tongi pakiaka.

Ki taku whakaaro he mea nui ngā herenga mō te whakatō kai rau.

He iti iho te nui o ngā matūkai ka taea e te rau te mimiti i tō te pakiaka, nō reira kāore au e whakaaro he whakakapinga nui te whakamomona rau mō te whakamomona pakiaka noa, engari he tāpiringa motuhake mō tētahi āhuatanga motuhake.

Ina whiriwhiria e au te whakamahi i te tongi rau i runga i te kaupapa

Ka whakamahia e au i te nuinga o te wā mō ngā tipu e ora ake ana i tētahi momo ahotea, pērā i te taunga tata nei (e ai ki te kōrero i tētahi atu tuhinga), i mua tata rānei i tētahi wā nui pērā i te pua, e rapu ana i tētahi atu whakatipu tere ake i aua wā motuhake.

Me pēhea te whakamahi tika i te tongi rau?

Ka rehuhia e au he wai tino waimeha, he ngoikore ake i tāku e whakamahi ana mō te whakamakuku, tika tonu ki te taha raro o te rau, ki te wāhi e nui ake ai te kukū o ngā stomata, kia kore ai e pāngia te rau mākū e te rā kaha.

Te wā pai mō te whakamahi i te tongi rau

He pai ake ki ahau te whakamahi i te atatu, kia mōhio ai ka maroke te rau i mua i te pō, me te whai i te mātāpono tiaki kua whakamāramahia e au i tētahi atu tuhinga mō te rehu wai ki ngā tipu.

Te kukū e whakamahia ana e au hei karo i te wera o te rau.

Ka whakaranua e au te tongi rau ki te kukū o te tongi kia iti iho i te haurua o te horopeta kua whakaitihia e au mō te tongi pakiaka, e ai ki te kōrero i tētahi atu tuhinga, nā te mea he tairongo ake te rau ki ngā kukū teitei i te pakiaka, kua taunga hoki ki te mimiti i ngā matūkai pērā.

Te auau e whakamahia ana e au mō te whakatō kai tāpiri rau.

Ka rāhuitia e au te whakamomona rau mō ngā āhuatanga motuhake, ehara i te mea he mahinga auau tonu, kotahi, e rua rānei i te marama te roa, hei tāpiri atu ki te mahinga matua mai i te pakiaka me te kore e tino whakararuraru i te tipu.

He tongi motuhake i hangaia mō te tono rau.

He tongi kua hangaia mō te mimiti rau, he rerekē te hanganga i tērā o te tongi whakamakuku tuku iho, ā, he pai ake ki ahau te whakamahi i tēnei momo tongi ina wātea, nā te mea kua hangaia te hanganga mō tēnei momo whakamahinga.

Te whakakotahi i ngā tikanga e rua i roto i te huarahi taurite

I roto i taku mahinga o ia rā, ko te whakawairakau pakiaka tonu te pūtake matua, me te whakawairakau rau hei whakakaha i ētahi wā i ētahi wā motuhake—he huinga tēnei i kitea e au mā te whakamātautau me te whakarerekē i roto i ētahi huringa tipu.

Me pēhea taku whakatau mēnā me whakamahi te tongi rau ki tētahi tipu e taunga tonu ana ki te taiao?

Kua whakamārama kē ahau i roto i tētahi atu tuhinga ka karohia e au te whakamomona pakiaka i ngā wiki tuatahi o te taunga mō tētahi tipu hou, engari i ētahi wā ka whakamahia e au he whakamomona rau kua tino whakaranua hei tāpiri, nā te mea he ngāwari ake tēnei tikanga, ā, he iti ake te mōrearea mō tētahi pūnaha pakiaka e taunga tonu ana ki te taiao me te papa hou.

He tohu tēnei kāore i pai te urupare a te rau ki te whakamahinga rau.

Ki te kite ahau i tētahi wāhi iti, i tētahi wera rānei e puta mai ana i muri tata mai i te paninga rau, ka whakaaro ahau he tohu tēnei kua nui rawa te kukū, kua pania rānei i te wā kāore i te tika, me te pānga mai o te rā kaha ki te rau mākū tonu. Ka whakarerekētia e ahau te waimehatanga me te wā i te nganatanga e whai ake nei, me te tino tupato tonu ki tēnei tikanga tairongo ake.

Te whakamātautau i te urupare a te tipu i mua i te whakataurite i te whakamahinga rau.

I mua i te whakamahi i te whakamomona rau hei mahi auau ki tētahi tipu motuhake, ka whakamātauria e au mā te whakamahi kotahi, ka tirohia te urupare i roto i te wiki kotahi, e rua rānei, hei whakaū kāore he urupare kino i puta i mua i te whakaaro ki te mahi anō i te tukanga ki taua tipu.

Te rerekētanga o te urupare i waenga i ngā momo rau angiangi me ngā momo rau matotoru

Ko ngā momo he angiangi ake, he ngawari ake ngā rau, he nui ake te aro ki ngā tono rau kua tino kukū rawa, ki te whakaritea ki ngā momo he matotoru ake, he pakari ake ngā rau, pērā i ētahi orchids Cattleya, kua whakamāramahia i roto i tētahi atu tuhinga. Ka whakarerekētia e au te waimehatanga i runga i te whakaaro ki tēnei rerekētanga o te aro i waenga i ngā momo i roto i taku kohinga.

Ka tuhia e au ia mahi whakatipu rau ki roto i taku pukatuhi.

Ia wā ka whakamahia e au te tongi rau, ka pupuri au i tētahi pūkete motuhake mai i taku rārangi whakatō purapura, nā te mea he rerekē ngā wātaka e whai ana i ngā tikanga e rua, ā, mā te whakaranu i ēnei mōhiohio ki te rārangi kotahi ka uaua ki te whai tika i te tawhiti e hiahiatia ana i waenga i ngā tono o ia momo.

Te whakaranu i te tongi rau ki te wai whakapūkara hei utu mō te wai noa.

He pai ake ki ahau te whakamahi i te wai kua whakakorengia, kua tātarihia rānei hei whakawai i te tongi rau, nā te mea ka waiho pea e ngā toenga kohuke kei roto i te wai puna noa he paru e kitea ana i runga i te rau i muri i te maroke, he āhuatanga ātaahua tēnei i kitea e au i taku whakatairite i ngā hua i waenga i ngā momo wai e rua i te whakamahinga kotahi.

Te whakamahi i tētahi pūwero kounga teitei hei whakarite kia ōrite te ringihia.

Ka hoko au i tētahi mīhini pupuhi kounga pai, he kohu pai, he ōrite hoki, nā te mea ka tere te rere o ngā pata wai nui rawa atu i te rau, ā, kāore e nui te wā e mimiti ai ngā rau, ka whakaiti i te whai huatanga o te tono rau ahakoa te whakamahi i te tongi tika me te kukū tika.

Te tīmatanga o taku mōhio he tino rerekētanga te whakamomona rau.

I roto i tētahi tipu i kitea he puhoi ake te tipu i ētahi atu, ahakoa te whakainu me te whakamomona i ia wā, i whakamahia e au te tongi rau mō ētahi wiki, ā, i kite ahau i te tere o te tipu o ngā rau hou i te tauira o mua mō taua tipu. Nā tēnei wheako tūturu i whakamana i ahau ki te uara tūturu o tēnei tikanga tautoko, i tua atu i te ariā kua pānuihia e au i mua i te whakamātautau.

Kia pēhea te roa e tika ana kia rongoatia ai te tongi rau kua whakaranua?

Kāore au e rongoa i te wai rau kua whakaranua mō te neke atu i te kotahi rā, me te whakarite i tētahi rahinga hou mō ia whakamahinga, nā te mea ka ngaro te pumau me te whai huatanga o te ranunga kua whakaranua i te roanga o te wā, me te mōrearea anō hoki o te poke mēnā ka rongoatia mō te wā roa i roto i tētahi ipu tuwhera.

Ngā pātai kua pātaihia mai ki ahau mō ngā maniua rau me ngā maniua pakiaka.

Ka taea te whakamahi i te tongi rau anake, kaua rawa e whakatōngia ki te pakiaka?
Kāore au i te tūtohu, nā te mea kāore e ranea te nui o ngā matūkai e mimitihia ana e te rau hei whakatutuki i ngā hiahia o te tipu mō te wā roa—ko te pakiaka tonu te puna matua o te kai.

Ka taea e au te tāpiri i ngā momo tongi e rua i te rā kotahi?
Kāore au i te pai ki te whakakotahi i ēnei i te rā kotahi, me wehe kia torutoru ngā rā i waenga i ngā tono, me te karo i te whakakīkī rawa i te tipu ki te nui rawa o ngā matūkai e puta mai ana i ngā pūtake e rua i te wā kotahi, i ngā pūtake rerekē.

Nā te mārama ki tēnei rerekētanga i whānui ake ai aku taputapu tiaki, ā, ka taea e au te aro atu ki te āhuatanga kua hoatu, me te kore e whakawhirinaki noa ki te tikanga whakamomona noa e whakamahia ana e au i te nuinga o te wā, me te whakarerekē i te tiaki kia rite ki ngā hiahia tūturu o ia wāhanga o te whakatipu.
