I-Brassavola: i-orchid enephunga elimnandi ebusuku, ukutshala nokunakekela.

Ngithole iBrassavola yami ngengozi, ifakiwe ekushintsheni nomunye umlimi engahlangana naye eqenjini lama-orchid aku-inthanethi. Ngaqaphela umehluko wangempela walolu hlobo ngobusuku obuthile, lapho ngingena ekamelweni futhi ngizwa iphunga elimnandi engangingalazi, livela ngqo esitshalweni engangicishe ngisikhohliwe ekhoneni leshalofu.

Iphunga elinamandla lasebusuku: isici esiphawuleka kakhulu salolu hlobo.

Ngokungafani nephunga lasemini elicashile, elichazwe kwesinye isihloko mayelana neCattleya, iBrassavola ikhipha iphunga elinamandla nelimnandi ikakhulukazi ebusuku, isu lokuziphendukela kwemvelo lokuheha izinambuzane ezithutha impova zasebusuku njengezinundu, ezisebenza kakhulu ngemva kokuhlwa.

Iqabunga eliyindilinga elihlukanisa lolu hlobo ngokubonakalayo.

Ngokungafani namaqabunga ayisicaba ama-orchid amaningi asevele echazwe kwezinye izihloko, iBrassavola inamaqabunga ayindilinga namanzi acwebezelayo, okuwuhlobo olusiza ukugcina amanzi futhi lwembula ukubekezelela kwayo kwemvelo izikhathi zokomisa phakathi kwezimvula endaweni yayo yokuhlala.

Ngilandela inqubo yokunisela ehlonipha ubunjalo beqabunga elinamanzi.

Ngivumele i-substrate yome ngokuphelele phakathi kokunisela, isikhathi eside kakhulu kunalokho engikuchazile kwesinye isihloko mayelana neCattleya, njengoba iqabunga eliyindilinga leBrassavola lisebenza njengendawo yokugcina amanzi eyengeziwe, libekezelela kahle lesi sikhathi eside sokoma.

Lolu hlobo ludinga ukukhanya okukhulu ukuze luqhakaze kahle.

I-Brassavola idinga ukukhanya okukhulu impela, okufana nalokho engikuchazile nge-Vanda kwesinye isihloko, njengoba ingenye yezinhlobo ezifuna kakhulu kulesi sici phakathi kwalezo engizitshalile, ezibonisa ngqo imvelaphi yazo endaweni evezwe kahle elangeni.

Ngiyibeka kuphi iBrassavola yami ukuze ngihlangabezane nalesi sidingo?

Ngiyigcina ebalcony enelanga, efana nendawo ebekelwe i-orchid yami ye-Vanda, engiyichaze kabanzi kwesinye isihloko, ukuqinisekisa ukuthi isitshalo sikhula kahle futhi singakhiqizi amaqabunga kuphela ngaphandle kokuqhakaza.

I-substrate ekhululekile ekhuthaza ukoma okusheshayo okudingwa yilolu hlobo.

Ngisebenzisa igxolo likaphayini elinohlaza oluqinile, elikhululekile kakhulu kunalokho engikuchazile kwesinye isihloko mayelana ne-substrate ye-Cattleya, ngibeka phambili ukugeleza kwamanzi okusheshayo kanye nokungenisa umoya okuzungeze impande, okuhambisana nomjikelezo wokomisa ophelele i-Brassavola ewubekezelela kahle kangaka.

Isimo sembali esiyingqayizivele, esinamacembe amancane, amade.

Imbali yaseBrassavola ine-petal encane, ende, ngokuvamile eluhlaza okotshani noma enombala okhilimu, ene-labellum enkulu emhlophe evelele, isimo esihluke kakhulu embalini yePhalaenopsis eyindilinga, esevele ichazwe kwenye indatshana.

Ngingayisebenzisa kanjani kangcono iphunga lasebusuku lalolu hlobo ekhaya?

Ngibeka iBrassavola yami eduze kwegumbi lapho ngivame ukuchitha khona isikhathi ebusuku, njengegumbi lokuphumula, ukuze ngisebenzise iphunga elinamandla elilikhiphayo ngemva kobumnyama, into eyenza umehluko omkhulu uma ucabanga ukuthi yilapho iphunga livelela khona ngempela.

Umanyolo engiwulungisayo kulolu hlobo olukhula ngamandla.

Ngilandela isimiso esijwayelekile esivele sichazwe kwesinye isihloko mayelana nokukhulelwa, ngisisebenzisa njalo ngesikhathi sokukhula okusebenzayo, njengoba iBrassavola ivame ukusabela kahle ekuhlinzekweni njalo kwezakhamzimba lapho ivezwa ekukhanyeni okukhulu okukhuthaza lokhu kukhula okunamandla.

Ukulula kokutshala kwangimangaza ngemva kokuqala okungaqinisekile.

Naphezu kwesidingo sayo sokukhanya okukhulu, ngithole ukuthi iBrassavola iyabekezelela ngokumangalisayo ezinye izinkinga zokunakekelwa, ilulama kahle ezikhathini ezithile zokunganakwa—ukuqina okungafani nokuzwela okubucayi osekuchazwe kwesinye isihloko mayelana neMiltonia.

Indlela enginamathisela ngayo iBrassavola yami ebhodini lokhuni, enye indlela yokukhulisa.

Ngizamile ukunamathisela iBrassavola ngqo ephepheni lokhuni elinomswakama ozungeze impande, indlela efakwe efana naleyo engiyichaze ngeVanda kwesinye isihloko, esebenza kahle kulolu hlobo ngenxa yokubekezelela kwalo kakhulu izikhathi zokomisa phakathi kokunisela.

Umehluko phakathi kokutshalwa kwembiza okuvamile nokutshalwa okufakwe ezitsheni kulolu hlobo

Ekuhlelweni kokukhula okufakwe ebhodweni, ngidinga ukunisela kaningi, njengoba kungekho substrate egcina umswakama, kodwa ngenxa yalokho, umoya ozungeze impande ungcono kakhulu, okunciphisa kakhulu ingozi yokubola ngisho noma kudingeka ukunisela kaningi.

Ukuhlanganisa iBrassavola neVanda kanye neCattleya endaweni efanayo yokukhanya okukhulu.

Ngilandela isimiso esifanayo esivele sichazwe kwesinye isihloko mayelana nokuhlela imikhuba, ukuhlanganisa iBrassavola nezinye izinhlobo ezinezidingo ezifanayo zokukhanya okuphezulu, okwenza kube lula ukugcina leli qembu elidinga kakhulu ndawonye ngaphakathi kweqoqo lonke.

Ngenze iphutha esikhathini esidlule ngokubukela phansi isidingo sokukhanya salolu hlobo.

Ngesikhathi ngiqala ukuthola iBrassavola yami, ngayibeka ekhoneni elinokukhanya okulinganiselwe, okufana nalokho engikunikeza ama-orchid ePhalaenopsis, futhi lesi sitshalo asizange siqhakaze cishe unyaka wonke, kwaze kwaba yilapho ngiqaphela futhi ngisithutha ngisiyisa endaweni enokukhanya okukhulu kakhulu.

Umphumela ngemuva kokulungisa indawo yokukhanya.

Ezinyangeni ezimbalwa ngemva kokuthuthela endaweni enelanga eliningi, iBrassavola yami yagcina ikhiqize i-spike yayo yokuqala yezimbali, okuqinisekisa ukuthi ukuntuleka kokukhanya okwanele kwakuyisici esivimbela ukuqhakaza kuze kufike kulelo phuzu elithile.

Ukurekhoda isikhathi sosuku lapho iphunga linamandla kakhulu encwadini yami yokukhulisa.

Encwadini yami yokukhulisa, esesivele sishiwo kwenye indatshana, ngiphawula isikhathi esilinganiselwe lapho ngibona khona iphunga elinamandla kakhulu leBrassavola, irekhodi elimangalisayo elingisiza ukuhlela ukuthi ngizoba nini ukuze ngijabulele kangcono lesi sici esikhethekile semizwa salolu hlobo.

Umoya opholile ogcwele yinto lolu hlobo lweqabunga eliyindilinga oluyazisayo.

Njengoba sengivele ngichaze kabanzi kwesinye isihloko mayelana nokungenisa umoya, lokhu kunakekelwa kubalulekile kunoma iyiphi i-orchid, futhi endabeni ye-Brassavola, evame ukukhuliswa ifakwe noma endaweni ekhululekile kakhulu, ukujikeleza komoya okuqhubekayo kuqinisa ukoma okusheshayo okuvele kusiza impilo yempande eveziwe yalolu hlobo.

I-Brassavola iqhathaniswa kanjani ngokwekhwalithi iyonke neqoqo lami lonke?

Ngemva kokulungisa izimo zokukhanya, ngaqaphela ukuthi iBrassavola empeleni ayidingi ukunakekelwa kwansuku zonke kunezinhlobo ezifana neMiltonia noma iVanda, ezichazwe kwezinye izihloko. Ukuqinisekisa ukukhanya okukhanyayo kanye nomjikelezo wokunisela ohlukanisiwe kwanele ukuthi ikhule kalula ngaphakathi kwesimiso esimisiwe samasonto onke.

Imibuzo engibuzwe yona ngeBrassavola

Ingabe iBrassavola uhlobo oluhle kulabo abathanda ama-orchid anephunga elimnandi?
Yebo, kuyisinqumo esihle kakhulu ngenxa yaleso sizathu, yize iphunga ligcwele ebusuku, ngokungafani nephunga lasemini elivele lichazwe kwesinye isihloko mayelana neCattleya.

Kungenzeka yini ukukhulisa iBrassavola endlini efulethini elingenabhalkhoni?
Kuyinselele ngaphandle komthombo wokukhanya oqinile kakhulu, njengoba lolu hlobo ludinga ngempela ukukhanya okukhulu ukuze luqhakaze, ngakho-ke ngincoma ukuthi ucabangele ukukhanya okwenziwe okwengeziwe, okuchazwe kakade kwesinye isihloko, uma kungekho ndawo yangaphandle etholakalayo ekhaya.

Ingabe kukhona ingozi yokuthi iphunga lasebusuku lingaba namandla kakhulu ekamelweni lokulala?
Kungase kube nzima kakhulu kwabanye abantu abazwela kakhulu amakha ngenkathi belele, ngakho-ke ngincoma ukuthi kubekwe endaweni evamile, njengegumbi lokuphumula, esikhundleni segumbi lokulala, ukuze ukwazi ukujabulela iphunga ngaphandle kokuthi liphazamise ebusuku.

Ukukhulisa iBrassavola kwangifaka esicini sokuzwa se-orchid engangingakasihlolisisi ngokugcwele, okubonisa ukuthi iphunga layo lasebusuku lingaba mnandi njenganoma yisiphi isici esibonakalayo sembali.
