ʻO ka manawa pinepine, mai nā māla kīnā ʻole i hiki iā ʻoe ke lohe i ka ʻōlelo e like me kēia: "ʻAʻohe manawa? No laila e kiʻi ʻoe i kahi cactus. ʻAʻole pono ʻoe e mālama pono iā ia. Akā aloha ka mea aloha i kā mākou mau mākeke ʻōpiopio me ka ʻike kūpono ʻole i ka cacti a me nā manu hōʻai ʻē aʻe hiki ʻole ke noho ʻoluʻolu me ka mālama ʻole iā lākou mai ka mea nona. ʻO ka unpretentiousness o cacti ka mea e ʻoi aku ai kahi stereotype ma mua o kahi leka i pili i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo. Loaʻa iā Cacti kahi kumukūʻai ola e maikaʻi i ka hoʻohālikelike ʻia me nā mea kanu ʻē aʻe, akā ʻaʻole pau ia, ʻike ʻoe iā ʻoe iho.
Heʻuʻuku ka poʻe e ʻike, no ka laʻana, ka pua cacti. A pua āpau. Inā ʻaʻole ʻoluʻolu kāu hoaaloha iā ʻoe me nā pua nani, ʻo kēia ke nānā ʻole nei iā ia. A inā uku ʻoe, ʻaʻole ia i hiki mai kona manawa, ʻaʻole hua kāna makahiki.
No laila ʻaʻole ia he ʻoihana pololei e mālama i nā mea kanu i ka home. ʻAʻohe mea paʻakikī loa e pili ana i kēia, akā iā ʻoe iho i kahi peka kūloko, mai hoʻalo ʻoe i kou lima iā ia, akā e hoʻomanaʻo pono iā ia i nā manawa he pono no kona ola ʻoluʻolu. I kēia manawa e nānā i kahi mea nānā pono cacti.
Inā hoʻoholo paʻa ʻoe e koho i kahi "poʻo poʻo" a laila e hoʻoholo koke i kona wahi noho. Ke noi ikaika aku nei mākou iā ʻoe e hoʻōki i ka manaʻoʻiʻo i kahi moʻoʻōlelo e pili ana i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo o ka cactus e umauma i ka poʻomanaʻo a lawe i ka radiation mai kāu kamepiula. ʻAʻohe mea like ma ia mea. Radiadi, inā he wahi ia, e loaʻa ana i kahi papa me ʻoe. No laila, aloha ʻoe i kāna mea hala ʻole. Inā ʻaʻole ia e hōʻike hou i nā hōʻailona o ke ola ma muli o kahi lōʻihi lōʻihi e kokoke ana i kāu kāʻei ʻana, ʻaʻole ke kiko o ke kuhi, akā i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo ʻaʻole i lawa ka mālamalama o ka mea ilihune. Akā ʻaʻole kēia e hāʻawi i ka cactus ma kahi o kahi kamepiula ua pāpā ʻia ma lalo o ka hōʻeha o ka make.
Inā pili kāu kamepiula i kahi puka aniani i kahi aniani e hāʻawi nui ana i ka māmā, no ke aha e hoʻonani ʻole ai i ka papa me ke kamaʻāina ʻono? I kahi kūlana, e loaʻa ai ka maikaʻi o nā succulents e like me echinopsis, rebutius a me hymnocalycium. Akā ʻo ka hapa nui o ka Mammillaria ʻaʻole makemake e like me ia wahi, no ko lākou olakino ʻoluʻolu, ka kūpono o ka sill o ka puka hikina. ʻAʻole ia e koi i ke ʻano o ka hoʻomālamalama ʻana, ka mea i kapa ʻia i ka wao cacti - Decembrist, epiphyllum, ripsalis. ʻAʻole lākou e hoʻonāukiuki ʻia e ʻoe no ka loaʻa ʻole o ka ʻike.
ʻO kahi mea nui o ka mālama pono o ka cacti a me nā mea ʻē aʻe o nā succulents e hoʻohālikelike pono. E hōʻike iā ia. I ke kauwela, pono ia e hoʻohāinu ʻia ka cacti ma ke ʻano like o nā mea kanu o loko ʻē aʻe - e like me ka lepo o ka lepo. Poina e pili ana i nā nika wā, ʻaʻole nui lākou. I ka hoʻoilo, pono kēia mau mea kanu i ka hōʻemi ʻana i ka hoʻōki - ʻekolu mau manawa i ka hoʻoilo, ʻo ia hoʻi, ʻo ka lawa ʻana o ka wai i kāu holoholona ʻōmaʻomaʻo i hoʻokahi manawa i hoʻokahi mahina.
He kūpono ke haʻi i kekahi stereotype kaulana. Kuhi kekahi mau pua "cactus" i kahi kūpono kahi e ulu ai kāna mea kanu i kahi kokoke i ke kaomi wela. A ʻaʻole! No ka ʻike, ma nā wahi kūlohelohe o ka ulu cactus aia nō ka manawa hoʻoilo, a ʻaʻole like ia me ke ʻano like me he mea lā iā mākou. No laila, ʻaʻole ia e hoʻopulapula i kou mea ulu i hele i ka hibernation a hana no ia he ana mahana e pili ana i 15 mau pae ma luna o zero, akā ʻaʻole i haʻahaʻa ma mua o 10 mau degere. ʻOiaʻiʻo, aia nā mau hiʻohiʻona mau o nā succulents hiki ke kūpaʻa ʻoiai i nā piʻo māmā, akā, ʻaʻole kākou e maʻa i ko mākou mau mea kanu a ho'āʻo e hana i nā kūlana maikaʻi loa no lākou e ola.
ʻO ka mālama ʻana i ka cacti ka pololei maoli, akā ʻo ia, ʻo ka mea a kekahi e ʻōlelo ai, pono nō hoʻi i kahi uku o ka manawa a me ka hoʻoikaika. Pono nā mea kanu i ka nānā ʻana, maikaʻi lākou i ka wā e mālama pono ai ka mea nona lākou me ka mālama pono a pane aku me ka mahalo iā ia. Ma lalo o nā kūlana kūpono, kou cacti e hauʻoli iā ʻoe me ka pua a me ka hiki ʻana mai o nā puna hou, kahi hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻohuli i kāu holoholona. Aia kekahi manaʻo inā ʻoe e kamaʻilio me nā mea home, e ulu wikiwiki ana lākou. Eia kahi manaʻo no kahi hoʻokolohua. No ke aha e kamaʻilio me cacti?
