ʻO Agave no ka nani, maikaʻi a me ka leʻaleʻa

Agave (Agave) - kahi kumulāʻau succulent me kahi rosette lau o nā lau maloʻo, e like me ke kānāwai, aia nā ʻōpala ma nā kihi o nā lau. Kāhea ʻia nā mea kanu momona i nā lau ʻiʻo kahi e mālama ai ka lepo. ʻO ka wahi hānau o ka agave, ʻo ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, kahi i hoʻohana ʻia ai kekahi mau ʻano o ke agave maʻa no nā kumuwaiwai. Hoʻopau ʻo Agave i kēlā me kēia 10 a 25 mau makahiki, ma hope iho o ka make ʻana o ka mea kanu.

ʻOkoʻa loa ka kala kala o nā lau agave. ʻO ka agave kaulana loa o ka ʻAmelika "Marginata" (Agave americana "Marginata"), he lau ʻōmaʻomaʻo me nā ʻōpio, a i nā kihi ke kihi, hiki i 1 - 1,3 m ka lōʻihi me ka makahiki. ʻO nā "Mediopikta" (Agave americana "Mediopicta") he pelemelu lau me nā kihi kūpaʻu. Ma muli o kona nui nui, kūpono loa nā aga agaʻAmelika i nā conservatories a me nā keʻena keʻena ma mua o nā hale. Aia ka nānā i ka maka o ka filveous agave (Agaveounaera), kahi e waiho ana he 30 cm ka lōʻihi e kaulua ana i luna a pulu nā lauoho i lalo mai ko lākou mau poʻo. Ua kūpono kūpono ia no Agave Queen Victoria (Agave victoriae-reginae) no ka ulu ʻana i nā hale, ua loaʻa iā ia nā ʻalani kūloko ʻōmaʻomaʻo me kahi palena keʻokeʻo a me nā ʻeleʻele uliuli, ʻo ke kiʻekiʻe o ka mea kanu e like me 15 cm. He ʻano nui, akā, ʻaʻole i loaʻa nā ʻano Agave parassana (Agave parassana) ), nā mea uliuli-hina me nā mālamalama ʻulaʻula ulaula e hopu koke i kou maka. Hoʻopili ʻia nā kaula ma ka lau i ka nui a loaʻa nā agave pua liʻiliʻi-pua (Agave parviflora). Kūkulu nui ʻia ka ʻune marve "Marginata" (Agave angustifilia "Marginata") i kahi mākaʻi o 70-100 cm lōʻihi lau lau me nā ʻōpala keʻokeʻo he mau puʻupuʻu liʻiliʻi ma nā kihi. Eia kekahi, ma ke kūʻai aku hiki iā ʻoe ke loaʻa i ia ʻano ʻano agave e like me ka agave drawment (Agave attenuata), nā keiki agave (Agave striata), mauʻu hina (Agave perrine), agave sisal (Agave sisalana), ka weliweli agave (Agave ferox), agave Franzosini ( Agave franzosinii) a me ka agave mūmū ʻulaʻula (Agave coccinea).

He lāʻau kanu loilo ʻole ʻo Agave. E makemake nui ia i ka kukui kukui a ʻaʻole hoʻi ke makaʻu i ka lā pololei. I ke kauwela, pono ke kiʻekiʻe o ka mahana, i ka hoʻoilo he mea kūpono ia e mālama ma 10 - 12 mau degere, ʻoiai ke hoʻomae nei i kahi hōʻemi i 6 mau degere. Makemake nā Agaves i kahi ākea nui ma waena o ka pō a me ke ao wela. ʻAʻole pono ʻia ʻo Agave e pīpī ʻia, ʻo ka lumi kahi e kau ʻia ai, pono e hoʻokaʻawale ʻia, i ke kauwela he maikaʻi ia e lawe i ka mea kanu i waho i ka lewa.

E ho'ōla mau ʻia ʻo Agave i ka manawa wela, i ka hoʻoilo - paʻakikī loa (1 - 2 mau manawa i ka malama). Ua hānai liʻiliʻi ʻo Agaves, ʻaʻole iʻoi aku ma mua o hoʻokahi mahina i ke kauwela, hoʻololi e like me ka mea e pono ai, ʻaʻole pono ka mea kanu i ka nui o ka lepo. Kahi ʻia ka lepo no ka succulents i koho ʻia no ke kanu ʻana, a i mākau ʻia paha kahi hui ʻana mai ka turf a me ka lau lau, humus a me ka one ma kahi hoʻohālike o 2: 1: 1: 0.5. Hoʻoulu ʻia ka agaves ma nā hua a i ʻole nā ​​huaʻai.

Hoʻokomo pinepine ʻia ka maʻi Agave a me nā maʻi. ʻO ka hapa nui o nā pilikia e hoʻoiho ʻia e ka nui o ka umu, keu i ka hoʻoilo. I kēia hihia, pohō nā kumu o ke kumu, a lilo nā lau a palupalu. Pono e ʻokiʻoki i ka piko o ke agave a kau hou aʻe i ka wai, emi ka wai, me ka noʻonoʻo pono ʻole i nā hala mua. Inā ʻaʻole lawa ka waiu i ke kauwela, a laila e ʻike ʻia nā ʻōpala maloʻo ma nā lau, a laila pono ʻoe e hoʻonui i ka wai.

Mai nā lau o nā ʻano ʻano leve, nā kaula, nā kaula, ka maʻa, nā ʻalā, nā mea a me nā mea i ulana ʻia. hana ʻia nā pepa mai ka lepo, ʻoi pūpū. ʻO kekahi ʻano ʻano agave i pīkī i nā ʻāpana o nā hemispheres e hana i ka fiber. ʻO ka waiwai nui loa e pili ana i ka agave sisal (Agave sisalana), e hāʻawi ana i ka mea i kapa ʻia ʻo sisal, agave furciform, a i ʻole Yucatan hemp (Agave fourcroydes) - geneken (Yucatan sisal), Agave cantala (Agave cantala) - cantaloux, a me nā mea'ē aʻe.
