He aha ka mea inā he wela ke aniani, a ʻoluʻolu ʻole ka lumi. Mālama wale ke ea uila, akā he mea kōkua ia i nā kānaka wale nō, akā e pili ana i nā mea kanu loko.
ʻO Cacti a me nā mea kanu ʻē aʻe o ka genus succulent i loko o nā kūlana e leʻaleʻa wale nō. A he manaʻo kūpono ʻole loa kēia e manaʻoʻiʻo ai ʻaʻole weliweli ka wela no nā mea kanu. Noiaʻi, ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻole lākou e make, ʻoiai inā pau loa lākou i ka makika. ʻAno wale nō e hoʻolilo ka cactus i kāna ikehu āpau i kona kō waiʻa ʻana, e hoʻohana ana i nā mālama kūloko, pehea ka nani a me ka pua. No laila pono pono ka nānā ʻana a pau e waiho i ka lepo, mai haʻalele i ka lepo i kahi ʻano maloʻo a hānai i ka mea kanu. Eia naʻe, kūpaʻa kēia mau mea kanu i nā mahana kiʻekiʻe, akā pehea ka mea ʻē aʻe?
ʻO kekahi o nā mea kanu i ka wela wela e hiki ke nalowale loa. Ke manaʻoʻiʻo ʻia ʻo ka puka aniani ma ka ʻaoʻao komohana ka mea palekana loa, akā hiki ma ʻaneʻi ua hiki i ka mea kanu ke hoihoi aku inā he mea ʻole e ʻalo ana ma ke alanui. Pono e lōlū ʻia nā mea kanu i loko i ka manawa o ke kauwela, ma kahi o kēlā ʻaoʻao o ka puka i kū ai lākou. ʻO ka manawa wale nō a me ka hoʻolaha ʻana i nā mahana mahana kiʻekiʻe e hana i kā lākou hana maikaʻi ʻole me ka mea kanu.
Inā hiki, pono pono e hoʻokaʻawale i ka pua i ka pale, e kaʻi aku i ke alanui. I ka wā wela, e pono i nā mea kanu e pua ai ka nānā kūikawā. ʻO ke ʻano he nui nūle kekahi, ʻaʻole e kōkua i kekahi o lākou e ʻae i ke ʻano kiʻekiʻe o ka wela me ka hōʻeha ʻole. Hiki iā ʻoe ke kau i ka pua i ka wai i kapa ʻia ʻo ka wai. A i ʻole e waiho i ka pala palala, nā ʻōpala, nā hoʻomaʻemaʻe ma loko o ka pā a hoʻopiha i nā mea āpau me ka wai.
He mea kūpono nui e nānā pono ana i kāu mau mea kanu a hoʻomaikaʻi hou aku a nānā i nā ʻano o kā lākou mālama. ʻAʻole hiki ke maʻalahi a hoʻomanaʻo a ʻike i nā mea āpau, no laila hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻohana i nā kumu like o ia ʻike. ʻO ka pōmaikaʻi, ua nui kā lākou helu: aia nā ʻano o nā papa kuhikuhi a me nā pūnaewele floriculture ma ka Pūnaewele.
I ka mahana wela, pono i nā lāʻau kūloko ke mālama pālua. ʻO ka laʻana, make ka capricious streptocarpus inā wela ke kauwela. ʻAʻole kanu nā mea kanu i nā mea āpau a ua helu ʻia nā deciduous e ʻūkū ʻia ʻelua i ka lā. He mea nui ia e hana ai me nā pua i koi ai i ka nui o ka wai (chamedorrhea, no ka laʻana). Inā haʻalele nā mea kanu i ka makuhū ʻokoʻa (hou aʻe), a laila, huli ka lau i ka ʻulaʻulaʻula, ʻōwili ke ʻano me nā ʻāpana maloʻo.
ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi ma e kāʻei i nā ʻeleʻeleʻele kahi i loko ai nā mea kanu, no laila e emi iki ka honua. ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi o ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā minelala mineral no ke kapa o ka lole ma ke kauwela, ke hoʻolako ʻia e hana ʻia ka lole luna luna wale nō ma hope o ʻelua mau hola mai ka inu ʻana, pono kēia!
Inā loaʻa kahi mea hau i ka lumi, pono ia e hōʻoia i ka ʻale malū ʻaʻole i hoʻopōʻino i nā mea kanu, ʻaʻole pono pono e loaʻa i nā pua.
A ʻoiai, i ka wā kauwela maloʻo, hōʻike pinepine ka hana o nā ʻano pōpoki āpau. ʻO kēia nā aphids, nā iniseti nui, spider mites a me nā mea'ē aʻe. Pono e nānā pinepine i nā lāʻau āpau a i nā hihia ʻole i nā manawa leʻaleʻa, e hana.
