Paphiopedilum: te ōkiti pahekeheke, e whakatipuria ana i te marumaru.

Ko te Paphiopedilum te momo orchid: ko te rau o raro he putea e rite ana ki te hū iti. Haunga tōna āhua, e rua ngā āhuatanga whakatipu ahurei e wehewehe ana i a ia i ētahi atu—koinei te momo rongonui e iti ana te mārama e hiahiatia ana, ā, koinei anake te momo e whakaatu mārama ana te rau i te pāmahana e pai ana ki te tipu.

E whakaatu ana te pepa i te pāmahana e hiahiatia ana e ia.

Koinei te ara poto tino whai hua o tōna momo, ā, he mea tika kia whakaarohia i mua i tētahi ripanga. E rua ngā rōpū matua, ā, ka taea e koe te tautuhi i a rātou me te kore e mōhio ki te ingoa o te momo:

He rau māpere , he tauira kōwhai mārama, he tauira pōuri hoki: he pai ake ki ngā taiao mahana ake. He rau kakariki ōrite : he pai ake ki ngā taiao matao ake. He momo rau rīpene, e whakaputa ana i ētahi putiputi mō ia kakau, ka aro atu hoki ki ngā taiao mahana ake.

I roto i te mahi, ka whakatauhia e tēnei te wāhi e noho ai te tipu i roto i te whare. Mena he māpere tōu, ā, i whakanohoia e koe ki te kokonga hauhautanga nā te mea i whakaaro koe he pai ki ngā orchid katoa te makariri, ka tipu noa iho. E homai ana e te pepa meka a te American Orchid Society te awhe pāmahana whānui mō te momo he 12,7 ki te 22,2 °C i te pō me te 21 ki te 29,4 °C i te awatea , ā, kei roto i tēnei awhe ka tohatohahia ngā rōpū e rua - ko ngā mea māpere kei te taha o runga, ko ngā mea kakariki kei te taha o raro.

He whakaritenga te rama iti-hihi, ehara i te mea e whakaaetia ana.

Ko te whānuitanga mārama e taunakitia ana ko te 10.750 ki te 21.500 lumens (1.000-2.000 putu-kanara) — he rite tonu ki ngā ōkiti Phalaenopsis, ā, he iti iho i te 2.000-3.500 putu-kanara o te ōkiti Cattleya. I roto i te whare, e taunaki ana te AOS kia whai matapihi e anga ana ki te rawhiti, ki te raki, ki te hauauru rānei, me te whiti tika mai o te rā mō te kotahi ki te whā hāora.

Mātakitaki te whakamāoritanga: ko te kupu "matapihi raki" i reira e pā ana ki te matapihi kāore i te tino kitea nā te mea nō te Hononga o Amerika ngā tohutohu. I te Ao Tūroa ki te Tonga, ko te matapihi tonga te rite. Ko te tangata e pānui ana i ngā tohutohu, e whakanoho ana i te tipu ki te matapihi raki i konei i Brazil, kei te hoatu e ia te aronga tino kaha ki roto i te whare, ehara i te mea tino pai.

He iti iho te makuku i tō te toenga o te rōpū.

Anei te tuarua o ngā rongo pai mō te whakatipu i roto i te whare: ko te awhe haumākū e taunakitia ana ko te 40 ki te 50% . He iti iho tēnei i te Phalaenopsis (50 ki te 80%), he iti iho hoki i te Masdevallia (70 ki te 90%). Arā, ko te Paphiopedilum tētahi o ngā mea torutoru kāore e hiahiatia he whakamakuku i te nuinga o ngā taiao kāinga.

Nā te mea kāore he putiputi tipu, me pupuri tonu te makuku o te papa, engari kaua e noho ki roto i te wai. Ko te taunakitanga a te AOS kia whakamakukuhia ina maroke te papa—kaua e tatari kia maroke rawa.

Tongi: horopeta katoa o te ranunga ngoikore

He hurihanga tēnei o te ariā e pā ana ki te nuinga o ngā ōkiti, ā, he ngāwari noa iho te hē. Ko te taunakitanga o nāianei he horopeta katoa o te tongi ngoikore — kei waenganui i te 5-5-5 me te 10-10-10 — kaua ki te tikanga tawhito o te whakamahi i te hauwhā horopeta o te tongi kaha pēnei i te 20-20-20.

Ka mahia tēnei mahi puta noa i te tau, ka horoia te oneone kotahi i te marama, i te hauwhā rānei hei tango i te tote kua kohia. Ka whakatōkia anō i ia rua tau , ina pirau rānei te oneone; ka mahia ngā tapahi iti i ia tau.

E toru ngā momo me ngā momo ranu hei tīmatanga.

He rerekētanga nui te kōwhiringa i konei, nā te mea ko te rōpū tika e whakawhirinaki ana ki te āhuarangi o tō whare — ā, ko te hoko i te mea hē te tino take o te pouri ki tēnei momo hua.

Ko ngā momo ranu o te rōpū Maudiae te tīmatanga haumaru mō te āhuarangi o Brazil: he rau māpere ō rātou, nō reira e pai ake ana ki a rātou ngā wāhanga mahana o te whānuitanga tipu, he ngāwari te puāwai, ā, ko rātou te mea ngāwari ki te kitea. Mena kei te noho koe i tētahi wāhi mahana, ā, kotahi anake te mea ka hokona e koe, koinei te mea tika māu.

He rite tonu ngā rau kakariki o te Paphiopedilum insigne , ā, ko tētahi o ngā mea tino manawanui o tōna momo—he pai ake te manawanui ki ngā momo tiaki rerekē i te toharite, ā, he kōwhiringa pai mō te hunga he mātao ake ō rātou kāinga, he hunga rānei e noho ana i ngā rohe maunga.

He māwhero ngā putiputi o Paphiopedilum delenatii , ā, he kakara anō hoki, he mea rerekē tēnei mō te momo nei. He nui ake te hiahia ki te tipu i ngā mea e rua o mua, ā, kāore au e tūtohu kia waiho hei kōwhiringa tuatahi—he pai rawa atu mō te wā kua tino tau te taiao.

Wai: he mea nui ake te kounga i te rahinga

He tairongo te Paphiopedilum ki te tote e kohia ana i roto i te papa oneone—ehara i te mea tino nui pērā i te Masdevallia, engari he nui rawa te pānga ki te wai mārō mō ngā marama. Koia te take e taunaki ana ngā aratohu a te AOS (American Society of Ophthalmology) kia horoia te papa oneone i ia wā: ko te horoinga he tango i te tote e toe ana i muri i ia whakamakuku me ia whakamomona.

Ki te mārō te wai o tō puna, ka puta te rerekētanga ki te pito o te rau, ka pōuri, ka maroke, ka tīmata mai i ngā rau tawhito rawa. He ngāwari te pohehe ki tēnei he harore, ā, ko te maimoatanga he ritenga kē: horoia rawatia te papa ki te wai kounga pai ake, ka whakawhiti i te wai, kaua e whakamahia te patu harore.

Mā te wai ua e whakaoti te raruraru. Ki te kore e taea, mā te taurite i te whakainu me te horoi nui i te marama kotahi ka whakaiti i te nui o te wai e toe ana.

Kaua e whakamakuku i waenganui o te rosette.

Ka tipu te Paphiopedilum i te āhua o te pā, ka tīmata ngā rau i te pūwāhi pokapū, ā, mā te wai e tū ana i taua pūwāhi i roto i te taiao kāore e hauhautanga ka pirau te pūwāhi tipu. He rite tonu te tikanga ki te pirau karauna o ngā ōkiti Phalaenopsis, ā, ka rite tonu te tiaki: whakamakukuhia te taha o te kohua i te ata , ā, ki te taka te wai ki waenganui, whakamarokehia ki te tauera pepa.

He pono rawa atu tēnei i konei nā te mea he iti te haumākū (40 ki te 50%), ā, he maha ngā tāngata e whakamāori ana mā te tauhiuhi i te tipu ki te kohu. Ko te tauhiuhi i ngā rau o te slipper orchid te mea kāore i te tūtohutia — ki te hiahia koe ki te whakanui ake i te haumākū, whakamahia he paepae me te uku whānui maku huri noa, kaua e tauhiuhi tika ki te tipu.

Kia pēhea te roa o te pua, ā, he aha te mahi i muri mai?

Ko te putiputi Paphiopedilum tētahi o ngā putiputi ōkiti whare e roa ana te ora—he maha ngā wiki e puare ana, ā, i ētahi momo neke atu i te rua marama. Koinei tētahi o ngā āhuatanga o te momo: he torutoru ngā putiputi, engari he roa te wā e puare ana.

Kia maroke te pua, tapahia te kakau i te pūtake. Kāore i rite ki ngā ōkiti Phalaenopsis, kāore tēnei tipu e puāwai anō i runga i te kakau kotahi: kotahi te puāwaitanga o ia rau pā, kātahi ka whakangao te tipu ki tētahi tipu taha hou, koia te mea ka puāwai i muri mai. Nō reira, kāore te tipu he rau pā kotahi e puāwai mō ngā tau e rua karapīpiti—ko tōna huringa tūturu tēnei, ehara i te raruraru ki tana tiaki.

Wehewehenga: kia tūpato, kāore ia e muru hara.

Ki te kore he rau tipu, kāore he rahui o te Paphiopedilum hei tautoko i te wehenga kaha. He tipu motuhake ia rau, ā, ko te wehenga o tētahi tipu takitahi ka mutu te tipu katoa—tērā pea ka roa ngā tau ki te tīmata anō, mēnā ka pērā anō.

Ko te mea haumaru ko te waiho i te iti rawa kia rua, kia toru rānei ngā wana mō ia tapahi . He iti ake tēnei tapahi i te mea ka riro mai i tētahi Cattleya o te rahi ōrite, ā, koinei te utu mō tētahi momo kāore e pupuri wai. Me mahi te wehewehe me te whakahou i ngā kohua, i muri tonu i te pua.

Ngā rongoā maha-pūawai, me te take e hiahiatia ai te manawanui.

Tērā tētahi rōpū tuatoru e tika ana kia mōhiotia, ahakoa ehara koe i te tīmatanga: ko ngā ōkiti maha-puawai , he roa, he rite ki te rīpene ngā rau, e whakaputa ana i ētahi putiputi i runga i te kakau teitei, kaua i te kotahi anake. Ko te mea rongonui ko Paphiopedilum rothschildianum , me ngā rau taha roa e tuwhera ana me te mea he whakapae, ko tētahi o ngā ōkiti tino hiahiatia.

Ko te mea nui ko te wā. He nui ngā tipu maha-puawai, ā, he puhoi te tipu—he maha ngā tau ka roa ka pua, ā, he maha ka puāwai ina tae te rahi o ngā rau ki tētahi rahi kua whakaritea. Ko te hoko i tētahi tipu iti me te tumanako ka puāwai i te wā e whai ake nei he tohu mō te pouri.

Ka anga atu hoki rātou ki te pito mahana o te awhe pāmahana, pērā i ngā momo māpere. Ki te hiahia koe ki te toro atu ki tēnei rōpū, ko te huarahi tika ko te whakarite i te taiao tika mā te whakamahi i te ranu Maudiae, kātahi ka haumi ki tētahi tipu e hiahia ana kia tupu tonu mō ngā tau maha i mua i te utu i a koe.

Ki a wai ia te kōwhiringa tika?

Mena he iti te mārama o tō whare, he maroke hoki te hau—he huinga e ārai ana i te nuinga o ngā ōkiti rongonui—ko te Paphiopedilum pea te ōkiti tino pai mōu. He rerekē tēnei i te ōkiti Vanda, e hiahia ana ki te rā kaha me te whakainu i ia rā.

Ko te ngoikoretanga anake ko te putiputi: kotahi te pua i ia kakau i te nuinga o ngā momo, ā, ka roa mō ngā wiki, engari kāore i te rite te hihiko ki te tautau Phalaenopsis. He ōkiti tēnei mō te hunga e pai ana ki ngā āhua rerekē, kaua ki te rahi.
