I-Odontoglossum: i-orchid ekwindawo ephakamileyo, ekhuliswe kumaqondo obushushu aphantsi.

Ndifumene i-Odontoglossum ngefoto endiyibonileyo kwiqela elikhulayo, nditsalwa yipateni entsonkothileyo yamabala entyatyambo, phantse ipeyintwe ngesandla. Ndayithenga ndingazi ukuba ndilindele ntoni, kwaye kungekudala ndafumanisa ukuba olu hlobo lufuna ulungelelwaniso lobushushu oluqinileyo kakhulu kunezinye ii-orchids endandizityalile.

Ukuvela kwindawo ephakamileyo kuchaza ukuba ubushushu bunjani.

I-Odontoglossum ivela kummandla weentaba eziphakamileyo eMzantsi Melika, apho ubushushu buhlala buphantsi unyaka wonke, ngaphandle kobushushu obuphezulu, indawo yokuhlala echaza ngokuthe ngqo isizathu sokuba olu hlobo lwesityalo lubandezeleka kwiindawo ezishushu kakhulu ngendlela ezinye ii-orchids zasezitropiki ezinyamezela kakuhle.

Ubushushu obufanelekileyo endifuna ukubugcina kolu hlobo.

Ngokungafaniyo nokunyamezelana okubanzi esele kuchaziwe kwelinye inqaku malunga nePhalaenopsis, i-Odontoglossum ikhetha amaqondo obushushu aphantsi rhoqo, iphephe ubushushu obugqithisileyo basehlotyeni kunye nokubanda kakhulu kwasebusika, ulungelelwano olufuna ingqalelo eqhubekayo kwimozulu engqongileyo.

Ndingayibeka phi i-Odontoglossum yam xa ndiqwalasela le mfuneko?

Ndiyigcina kwigumbi elipholileyo endlwini, kude nemithombo yobushushu ethe ngqo njengezixhobo ze-elektroniki okanye iifestile ezinelanga elinamandla emva kwemini, ndifuna indawo ezinzileyo kangangoko ngaphakathi kwemida yendalo yekhaya lam.

Uphawu loxinzelelo lobushushu endilufundileyo ukuluqonda kolu hlobo.

Xa evezwa kubushushu obugqithisileyo, amagqabi e-Odontoglossum avelisa umbala otyheli ongaqhelekanga, kwaye isityalo siyeka ukuvelisa ukukhula okutsha—uphawu olungabonakaliyo kunokutsha ngokuthe ngqo, kodwa kubaluleke ngokulinganayo ukuchongwa ngokukhawuleza.

Umswakama ophezulu yinto ethandwa kakhulu lolu hlobo.

Njengoko sele ndicacisile kwelinye inqaku malunga nokufuma, le nto ibalulekile kuyo nayiphi na i-orchid, kodwa i-Odontoglossum, evela kummandla weentaba onenkungu exhaphakileyo, ingakumbi ixhamla kumswakama ophezulu kunye nomoya opholileyo, ulungelelwano olufuna ingqalelo eyongezelelweyo.

Ndiyinkcenkceshela rhoqo, ngaphandle kokuyivumela yome ngokupheleleyo.

Ndigcina i-substrate ifumile kancinci rhoqo, njengoko sele ndichazile kwelinye inqaku malunga neMiltonia, kuba i-Odontoglossum, ene-pseudobulb encinci kunye namanzi angaphantsi, ayinyamezeli ixesha elide lomile phakathi kokunkcenkceshela kakuhle.

I-substrate entle endiyisebenzisayo ukuze kube lula ukufunxa amanzi rhoqo.

Ndisebenzisa ixolo lepayini elicolekileyo kakhulu elixutywe ne-sphagnum moss encinci, nto leyo ekhuthaza ukugcinwa komswakama rhoqo ngaphandle kokuphazamisa ukutsalwa kwamanzi okufunekayo ukuthintela ukubola kweengcambu ezibuthathaka zolu hlobo.

Olu hlobo luthanda ukukhanya okuphakathi, okungathanga ngqo.

I-Odontoglossum inyamezela ukukhanya okuthambileyo nokungangqalanga, okufana noko sele ndikuchazile ngePhalaenopsis kwelinye inqaku, ithintela ukuvezwa ngokuthe ngqo okunokunyusa kakhulu ubushushu obujikeleze igqabi kunye ne-pseudobulb encinci yolu hlobo.

Ipateni yeentyatyambo entsonkothileyo eyenza olu hlobo lwentyatyambo lufunwe kakhulu.

Le ntyatyambo inamabala angaqhelekanga kwimibala emdaka, ebomvu, okanye emthubi kwimvelaphi ekhanyayo, ipateni efana ne-kaleidoscopic eyahluka kakhulu phakathi kwemizekelo eyahlukeneyo, nto leyo eyenza isityalo ngasinye sahluke kakhulu kolu hlobo lutyebileyo ngokubonakalayo.

Ukuchumisa okulula endikufaka rhoqo.

Ndilandela umgaqo jikelele osele uchaziwe kwelinye inqaku malunga nokuchumisa, ukuwusebenzisa ngoxinzelelo oluncitshisiweyo kakhulu, kuba uphawu lokukhula olucothayo lolu hlobo luphezulu alufuni unikezelo olunamandla lwezondlo olufunekayo kwisityalo esikhula ngamandla.

Impazamo endiyenzileyo ngokuzama ukukhawulezisa ukukhula kwale ntlobo.

Kwiiveki ezimbalwa zokuqala, ndifake isichumiso esixineneyo ndizama ukukhuthaza ukukhula ngokukhawuleza, kwaye ndaphawula ukuqokelelwa kwetyuwa yeeminerali kumphezulu wesiseko, isikhumbuzo sokuba olu hlobo lwesityalo lukhetha indlela ethambileyo nenomonde ngakumbi kunalo naluphi na umzamo wokukhawulezisa inkqubo yalo yokukhula kwendalo.

Indlela endisebenzisa ngayo ifeni ukunceda ukugcina ubushushu buzinzile ehlotyeni.

Ngeentsuku ezishushu kakhulu, ndisebenzisa ifeni encinci ebekwe kufutshane, ngaphandle kokuvuthela ngqo kwisityalo, ndijikelezisa nje umoya osegumbini. Le ndlela inceda ekususeni ubushushu obuqokelelweyo ngaphandle kokubangela ukoma okugqithisileyo okubangelwa kukungena komoya ngokuthe ngqo. Ndikwaphepha nokuvula ifestile kweli gumbi ngexesha elishushu kakhulu emva kwemini, ndikhetha ukungenisa umoya kwangethuba kusasa xa ubushushu bangaphandle busapholile kwaye bulungele isityalo.

Ukudibanisa i-Odontoglossum ne-Miltonia, iintlobo ezineemfuno ezifanayo.

Ndilandela umgaqo ofanayo osele uchaziwe kwelinye inqaku malunga nokulungiselela inkqubo, ukubeka i-Odontoglossum kufutshane neMiltonia, kuba zombini zifuna ukufuma okungaguqukiyo, ubushushu obuphantsi, kunye nesiseko esingamiyo ngokupheleleyo.

Umahluko kwiimfuno phakathi kwe-Odontoglossum kunye ne-hybrid enyamezelayo ngakumbi.

Kukho iintlobo ezahlukeneyo zorhwebo ezidityaniswe nohlobo olunyamezelayo olugcina ubuhle be-Odontoglossum yokuqala, kodwa ngeemfuno zobushushu eziguquguqukayo kancinci, ukhetho endiluqwalaselayo kwabo bafuna olu buhle ngaphandle kwemozulu embi yeentlobo ezicocekileyo.

Kutheni ndicebisa olu hlobo kuphela xa kukho imozulu okanye iindawo ezilawulwa ngcono?

Kwabo bahlala kwimimandla enehlobo elishushu kakhulu kwaye kungekho moya upholileyo, ndicebisa ukuba ucinge ngononophelo ngale nto ngaphambi kokuba utyale imali kwi-Odontoglossum ecocekileyo, njengoko ubunzima bokugcina ubushushu obufanelekileyo kule meko ithile bunokuphazamisa kakhulu iziphumo ezilindelekileyo.

Ukurekhoda ubushushu obungqongileyo kwincwadi yam yokukhulisa izityalo.

Kwincwadi yam yokulima, esele ikhankanyiwe kwenye inqaku, ndiphawula ubushushu obuqikelelweyo bendawo endigcina kuyo i-Odontoglossum yam ngamaxesha ahlukeneyo onyaka. Le ngxelo indinceda ukuba ndibone ngokukhawuleza ukuba kukho ixesha elithile lonyaka elingaphandle koluhlu olufanelekileyo lolu hlobo, olunobuthathaka kakhulu kutshintsho olukhawulezileyo lobushushu.

Indlela endikhethe ngayo igumbi elifanelekileyo endlwini emva kokuzama iindlela ezimbalwa.

Ngaphambi kokuba ndihlale kwigumbi elipholileyo ngoku, ndazama ukugcina i-Odontoglossum yam ekhitshini ndaza ndayigcina kwigumbi lokuhlala, iindawo ezimbini ezishushu kakhulu ngamaxesha athile emini, ndade ndaqonda ukuba igumbi leendwendwe elingasetyenziswa rhoqo, elinomoya opholileyo kwaye lingenazo izixhobo ze-elektroniki ezibangela ubushushu, yayiyeyona ndawo izinzileyo endlwini yam.

Umahluko ngobukhulu phakathi kwe-Odontoglossum yendabuko kunye neentlobo ezincinci.

Ngaphandle kohlobo lwemveli, olunamagqabi aphakathi kunye nesiqu seentyatyambo, ndibone nesampulu encinci ngakumbi kwi-genus efanayo, efanelekileyo kwabo banendawo encinci ekhoyo, nangona imfuneko yobushushu obuphantsi ihlala ifana nokuba ingakanani na isityalo esikhethiweyo.

Imibuzo endiyibuziweyo malunga ne-Odontoglossum

Ingaba i-Odontoglossum lukhetho olufanelekileyo kwabo bahlala kwiindawo ezishushu nezishushu?
Kunzima ngakumbi kule meko, kuba olu hlobo lwezilwanyana luthanda amaqondo obushushu aphantsi nahlala ehleli, ngoko ke ndicebisa ukuba kuqwalaselwe uhlobo oluxutyiweyo olunyamezelayo okanye kuqinisekiswe ukuba kukho indawo elawulwa yimozulu ngaphambi kokuba kutyalwe uhlobo oluhlambulukileyo.

Ndingazi njani ukuba i-Odontoglossum yam inomonakalo wobushushu?
Uphawu oluthembekileyo kukuba igqabi likhula umbala otyheli ongaqhelekanga kunye nokukhula okutsha okungalindelekanga, ngokungafaniyo nokutsha okucacileyo okuboniswa zezinye iintlobo ezinyamezela ukukhanya kwelanga ngokuthe ngqo.

Ngaba ndifuna umoya opholileyo ngalo lonke ixesha ukuze ndikhulise olu hlobo lwezityalo?
Akunyanzelekanga ukuba kube njalo ngamaxesha onke, kodwa ngamaxesha obushushu obukhulu, iiyure ezimbalwa kwindawo enomoya opholileyo ngexesha lobushushu obuphezulu emini sele kunceda kakhulu ukuphepha uxinzelelo lobushushu oluhlala lufunyanwa lolu hlobo lubuthathaka kwiimeko ezimandundu ngakumbi.

Ukukhulisa i-Odontoglossum kundifundise ukuxabisa ngakumbi ulawulo oluhle lobushushu kwinkqubo yokunyamekela, nto leyo ebonisa ukuba ngamanye amaxesha eyona nto iphambili kwimpumelelo ayikokukhanya okanye ukunkcenkceshela, kodwa kukulinganisela ubushushu bendawo ekhethiweyo kwintlobo nganye ethile kwiqoqo.
