Kuhunyushwa kusuka ku-Greek phlox kusho "ithoshi". Kunenganekwane ethokozisayo ngemvelaphi yale mbali. Behlela emgodini lapho iHadesi labusa khona, amatilosi e-Odysseus aphatha izifutho ezivuthayo ezandleni zabo. Futhi lapho bephuma endaweni yangaphansi komhlaba, baphonsa izigaxa ezingadingekile emhlabathini. Futhi lapho nje sebethinte umhlabathi, ngokushesha zaphenduka izimbali ze-phlox.
I-Phlox iyisitshalo sensimu engakhethi, ebonakala ngemibala ehlukahlukene, izinhlobo nezinhlobonhlobo. Ungumuntu othanda umswakama omkhulu, akabekezeleli isomiso. Lapho ukhetha indawo ongayitshala, kufanele ukhethe indawo enomthambeka (ukuze amanzi angagxili emhlabathini) nasethunzini elincane elincane. Musa ukutshala i-phlox ngaphansi komqhele wesihlahla esikhulu nezihlahla ezinkulu.
Isitshalo sidinga ukuthambisa njalo futhi kuningi, ngoba izimpande zaso zingaphansi kwamasentimitha ayishumi nanhlanu futhi ngokushesha zizokuzwa ukushoda komswakama. Lokhu kuzothinta ukukhula nokukhula kwesitshalo. Ama-phloxes anamaqabunga omisiwe futhi isikhathi sokuqhakaza asibi. Ngaphandle kokunisela okwanele, ama-phloxes akhula kahle ekuphakameni futhi abe nenani eliphansi lama-inflorescence.
Izinhlobo eziningi ze-phlox ziyehluka ngombala wezimbali, ukwakheka kwamaqabunga nokuphakama kweziqu. Izinhlobo ezinde zivame ukuboshelwa kusekela elikhethekile ukuze iziqu zingonakaliswa.
Ngesikhathi sokukhula okusebenzayo nokwakhiwa kwezitshalo, ukusekelwa ngendlela yokugqoka ephezulu kuzodingeka. Imvamisa, ukondla kwenziwa kathathu ngesizini: ngaphambi kokuqhakaza, ngesikhathi nangemva kokuqhakaza. Njengomanyolo wokuqala, sebenzisa isixazululo nge-urea (izipuni ezimbili ngelitha ngalinye lamanzi), esesibili - sebenzisa umanyolo wezimbali okhethekile (ngokwesibonelo, isipuni esisodwa se-Agricola nezipuni ezimbili ze-nitrophase), owesithathu - potassium sulfate ne-superphosphate (isipuni esisodwa somuthi ngamunye amalitha ayishumi amanzi).
I-Phlox isakazeka ngezindlela ezahlukahlukene: ngokusika iqabunga, isiqu, izimpande, nangokuhlukanisa isihlahla nezinqubo.
