ʻO ka pua Afelander kahi lālā hoʻohālike i ka moʻomeheu me 170 subspecies o nā pua pua o ka ʻohana Acanthus. Hoʻoulu ka pua Afelander i ʻAmelika. Hāʻawi mākou iā ʻoe i kahi mea i hāʻawi ʻia kahi wehewehe o ka mea kanu a ua wehewehe ʻia pehea e mālama pono ai i ka afelandra ma ka home, e hoʻokō nei i nā pua ulu a lōʻihi.
ʻO ka wehewehe ʻana iā Afelandra me kāna kiʻi
ʻO Afelandra kahi lāʻau evergreen one a ʻelua mau mika ka lōʻihi a waiho i nā ʻāpana hulu keʻokeʻo a hiki i 30 centimeter. Ua ulu nā pua me nā pua spense a me nā kiʻi nani.
ʻO kekahi o nā ʻano ʻano i nā lau ʻulaʻula a me nā inflorescences māmā i hoʻohana ʻia i lilo i hale mālama. Hiki ke kala i ka pua o nā pua o ka afelander ke kala ʻulaʻula, ʻulaʻula-ʻulaʻula. ʻO kēia ka wehewehe nui i ka pua, a laila hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i ka afelander i ke kiʻi.
Pehea e mālama ai i ka afelandra
ʻAʻole paʻakikī maoli ka mālama ʻana iā Afelandra inā hāʻawi ʻoe iā ia i kahi kiʻekiʻe o ka hoʻohaʻahaʻa a me nā ea mahana i ka wā e ulu ana. Ma mua o ka mālama ʻana no afelandra, e heluhelu i nā rula maʻalahi o kēia mau hanana agrotechnical.
Hiki iā ʻoe ke ulu iā ia wale nō i ka hale, akā nō hoʻi ma ka ʻaoʻao ākea i ke aniani a me nā lepo waiwai ʻo humus. Inā ʻaʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke hāʻawi i ka pua i kēia mau kūlana, a ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka neʻe ʻana i ia hale a i ʻole ka ʻōmaʻomaʻo.
Ke ulu a ulu i loko o ka hale ka hale a i ʻole ka ʻōmaʻomaʻo, e hoʻohana i ka ipu wai wai piha me ka lepo, ka pākī a me ke one ma nā ka like like. E kau i kahi ipu me nā afelandra i loko o kahi lumi me ka mālamalama māmā a ʻaʻole i kuhikuhi pololei. Hoʻomaʻamaʻa maikaʻi loa ia, akā pono e ʻike ʻo ka swampy a i ʻole ka ʻāina maloʻo hiki ke alakaʻi i ka hāʻule o ka lau.
I ka wā ulu, e mālama ana iā Afelandra, "hānai" i ka pua me ka maniua wai, a ma hope o ka pau ʻana o ke kaʻina, e hōʻemi i ka nui o ka wai. ʻAʻole pono ke hoʻomaʻemaʻe, no ka mea e kiʻi ʻoe i kahi lāʻau i kahi pua spike ma ke ala.
ʻO kahi hiʻohiʻona nui o ka mālama pono ʻana i ka afelandra ka manawa kūpono e hoʻololi ai i nā mea kanu i nā ʻano like ʻole a me nā ʻano. Hiki i ka Afelandra ke pālahalaha e nā ʻokiʻoki. I ka pūnāwai, e waiho i nā wana o ka ʻaoʻao a i ʻole ka lālā kahiko, a laila hoʻokomo iā lākou i loko o ke one (inā ulu i ka ʻōmaʻomaʻo). A hiki i nā lālā ke kumu, pono lākou e loaʻa ma ka ʻāina ākea i nā lā he nui. Aia wale nō ke hiki ke hoʻopaʻa ʻia i loko o nā ʻāpana kaʻawale.
Hāʻawi ʻia hoʻi nā hua i ke kanu ʻia i ka pūnāwai i loko o nā mea lawe me ke one me ka loam. ʻO ka mahana o ka lewa kiʻekiʻe a me ka hoʻōki maʻamau e hāʻawi ai i nā ulu mua e ulu i loko o kahi mau mahina.
Afelandra Squarrosa
ʻAi ʻia hoʻi ʻo Afelandra squarrosa i kahi mea kanu zebra ma muli o nā ʻāpana keʻokeʻo ma ka ʻaoʻao o nā lau. ʻO ia kekahi o nā ʻano o ka pua o ka ʻohana Acanthus, i ʻōlelo ʻia i ka ʻĀina ma ka ʻaoʻao o nā mea kanu lāʻau o Brazil. Hoʻohana pinepine ia e like me ka pua o ka hale ma muli o nā lau kiʻi i nā ʻpiha keʻokeʻo a me kahi nani melemele maikaʻi.
Makemake kekahi pua i ka nui o nā kukui, akā ʻaʻole ia he kumu kūpono. ʻAʻole pua pinepine ʻo Afelandra squarrosa, akā hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻoulu i ke kaʻina me ke ao, pālahalaha lōʻihi i ka wā o ka lā. He mea weliweli loa hoʻi i ka huhū - he nui a he hapa iki paha ka mea e hoʻokō ai i ka hōʻike ʻana i nā kiʻi ʻōmaʻomaʻo ma luna o nā lau a me kona neʻe ʻana aʻe (i ka wai pinepine, akā liʻiliʻi iki, akā naʻe liʻiliʻi a nui loa).
Hoʻopau ka mea kanu i ka mahana o 18-21 ̊̊, a inā e hāʻule i lalo o 15 mau degere a mālama iā ia no ka manawa lōʻihi, a laila kiʻekiʻe ka hopena o ka make o ka mea kūʻai aku.
