I-Lagerstroemia indica

I-Lagerstroemia indica ingenye yalezo zihlahla ezibukeka njengesihlahla. Futhi lokhu akuyona into embi nhlobo; empeleni, kuyinto enhle kakhulu, ngoba kusho ukuthi ingatshalwa ngaphandle kwezinkinga kuzo zonke izinhlobo zezingadi, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ingakanani, kanye nasezitsheni.

Izinga lokukhula kwayo alisheshi kakhulu, ngakho-ke ungakwazi ukuqapha kalula ukukhula kwayo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, izimbali zayo ezinhle ziyaqhakaza kusukela zisencane kakhulu.

Uyini umsuka wazo nezici zawo?

Ikhula ifinyelele ukuphakama okuphezulu kwamamitha ayi-15 , yize ngokuvamile ingadluli amamitha ayi-8. Isiqu sayo, esinobumpunga obubushelelezi, obupinki, kanye negxolo elinamabala, ngokuvamile sinamagatsha asuka ekuphakameni okuphansi. Amaqabunga anobude obungu-2,5-7 cm, aluhlaza okotshani okumnyama ngaphandle kwasekwindla lapho ephenduka abe nombala o-orenji ngaphambi kokuwa, futhi aphambene.

Izimbali ziqhakaza kusukela ehlobo kuya ekwindla ngama-terminal panicles. Ziyi-hermaphroditic futhi zipinki, zibomvu, noma zimhlophe. Isithelo siyi-capsule engaba ngu-0,8-1,2 cm ububanzi ephenduka ibe nsundu uma isivuthiwe.

Izinhlobo zemifino

Uma ungathanda ukuba nesifanekiso kodwa ukhathazekile ngendawo, ngincoma lezi zinhlobonhlobo ezifana nezihlahla ezincane futhi ezingafani nezihlahla:

• I-Dwarf Purple: izimbali ze-lavender. Ikhula ibe ngamamitha ayi-1,2-1,8.
• Ama-ruffles apinki: izimbali ezipinki. Ikhula ibe ngamamitha ama-2.

Ikuphi ukunakekelwa okudingayo ukuze uphile?

Isihlahla iJupiter siwumuthi noma umuthi omncane okudingeka ube ngaphandle , elangeni eligcwele noma, uma uhlala endaweni eshisayo kakhulu (njengeMedithera), emthunzini ongaphelele. Njengoba ngishilo ekuqaleni, ngenxa yobukhulu baso obungafinyelela, ungasitshala kunoma iyiphi indawo oyithandayo, noma usigcine ebhodweni.

Kodwa ukuze ikhule kahle, kubaluleke kakhulu ukuthi inhlabathi noma i-substrate ivundile, ikhipha amanzi kahle, futhi ingathathi hlangothi noma ibe ne-asidi . Uma inhlabathi ine-calcareous, okusho ukuthi ine-pH ephakeme kune-6.5, amaqabunga ayo azoba phuzi ngenxa yokuntuleka kwensimbi.

Uma kukhulunywa ngokunisela, kufanele kube okulingene . Lesi sitshalo asibekezeleli isomiso, kodwa futhi asithandi ukugcwala kwamanzi. Ngakho-ke, kungcono ukugcina inhlabathi noma isisekelo simanzi kancane, sinisele izikhathi ezintathu kuya kwezine ngesonto ehlobo, kanye nezikhathi ezi-1 noma ezimbili njalo ezinsukwini eziyisikhombisa ezisele zonyaka. Sebenzisa amanzi emvula noma amanzi angenawo ulamula.

Ngasekupheleni kobusika ungayinquma ngokususa amagatsha omile, anesifo, abuthakathaka noma aphukile, bese usika lawo akhula isikhathi eside kakhulu ukuze ugcine isitayela esincane, nomqhele oyindilinga.

Okokugcina, kufanele wazi ukuthi isakazwa ngembewu kanye nezicucu entwasahlobo-ehlobo, nokuthi imelana nesithwathwa kuze kufike ku--18ºC.
