I-Coleus luhlobo lwesitshalo se-herbaceous saminyaka yonke noma isihlahla se-perennial shrub. Cishe izitshalo ezingama-150 zalezi zinhlobo. UColeus ungowomndeni uLabiaceae, noma uLamiaceae.
Ngokwokwahlukaniswa kwesimanje okwamukelwe ku-botany, lesi sitshalo sibizwa ngeSolenostemon (Solenostemon). Ngama-colloquial, i-Coleus ibizwa ngokuthi "i-nettle" ngoba amaqabunga ayo aqoshwe afana ne-nettle ejwayelekile.
Imininingwane ejwayelekile
Izwe lase-coleus ngamahlathi ashisayo ase-Afrika nase-Asia. Kodwa-ke, ngaphandle kokusuka eningizimu, uColeus akazithobanga kakhulu. Ngendlela, ukutshala i-coleus kuvulandi, ungabona ukuthi amaqabunga ayo aba makhulu futhi aqhakaze uma ihlobo limanzi futhi lifudumele.
I-coleus ikhula ukuphakama kusuka ku-30 kuya ku-50 cm. Iziqu zayo zingamagatsha, ama-quadrangular, anejusi futhi acishe abe sobala.
Into engajwayelekile ukuthi i-coleus ibe nayo ngamaqabunga ayo, aqhamukayo ngezinhlobonhlobo nokukhanya kombala. Ama-Variegated, anemibala ehlukahlukene, anephethini eyinqayizivele nobuningi obuhlukahlukene, amaqabunga e-coleus anqoba ngokuvela kwawo.
Umbala wesitshalo ungaba luhlaza, no-raspberry, no-tan, no-burgundy, no-pinkish-cream. Iphethini emboza amaqabunga ibuye ihluke: amachashazi, umngcele ohlukile, amabala, imivimbo, amabala ngisho nesibabule semabula. Kwezinye izinhlobo ze-coleus, amaqabunga afinyelela ubukhulu obungama-15 cm, kanti ezitshalweni ezikhiqizelwe ikakhulukazi ukukhula kwangaphakathi, ubukhulu bamaqabunga lincane.
Coleus blooms inconspicuous. I-inflorescence yayo iphupho elincane eliqoqwe kusuka kuzimbali eziluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka noma ze-lilac. Uma ukunakekela i-coleus ekhaya kukuhle, khona-ke akuqhakaze, futhi zonke izakhi ziya ekwakhekeni kwamahlamvu amaqabunga.
Uma i-coleus isaphonsa i-peduncle, khona-ke kusho ukuthi ayinawo amanzi anele noma ukudla (ikakhulukazi i-nitrogen compounds). Kulokhu, i-peduncle kumele iphinwe. Uma unesihlahla esisele ngakwesobunxele, lesi sitshalo siphulukana nengatsha yaso, bese amaqabunga eba mancane.
Kungenxa yamaqabunga ayo ukuthi i-Coleus ibaluleke ngokukhethekile kubathandi bezitshalo zasendlini ezikhulayo. Ngokubheka ukuthi i-coleus iyathobeka ngokuphelele ezimweni zokunakekelwa nokukhula, abalimi abasaqala bayathanda ukuyikhulisa.
Lesi sitshalo siphelele hhayi kuphela sekhaya, kepha futhi nasendaweni engaphandle (yangaphandle) yokubuka komhlaba. Ngemuva kokutshala izinhlobonhlobo eziningana ze-coleus embhedeni wezimbali, ungakha ukwakheka okuhle okungajwayelekile, okungeke kwenzeke ukuphinda okwesibili.
Futhi akunzima ukuthi unakekele i-flowerbed enjalo, ngoba zonke izitshalo zohlobo olufanayo zidinga izimo ezifanayo. Futhi, abathandi bezimbali bathanda ukutshala ama-coleuse kumakholoni.
Abaningi babheka i-coleus njengembali "engashintshi". Kodwa-ke, lokhu akulona iqiniso ngokuphelele. Kuze kube manje, abafuyi bokwethula futhi bethula emakethe yezimbali ezintsha ezahlukahlukene, kwesinye isikhathi izinhlobo ezahlukahlukene kakhulu.
Okusha kakhulu yi-coleus ebizwa ngokuthi i-Underwater World. Abaqeqeshi bezitshudeni baseCanada bazala izinhlobo eziyi-10 ezintsha. Lesi sitshalo siguqukile ngaphaya kokuqashelwa futhi sesibe njengomhlali wolwandle olujulile.
Ngakho-ke, ngokwesibonelo, i-hybrid "Yasolwandle inhlanzi" ifana kakhulu nesithambo senhlanzi, ngoba sinamaqabunga aluhlaza okotshani nokubomvu, anqabile.
I-Hermit Crab hybrid inamaqabunga acishe abe umbala opinki ofanayo nesalimoni.
Futhi i-hybrid "Sea Crab" ehlanganayo ihlaba umxhwele ngamaqabunga ayo amakhulu abomvu ngendlela yenhliziyo futhi inomngcele ophuzi ophuzi nxazonke. Ukuhlanganiswa okumnandi kwemibala nobumba bamaqabunga ezinhlobo ezintsha ze-coleus kwenza lesi sitshalo sathandwa kakhulu.
Ukunakekelwa kwasekhaya kweColeus
Naphezu kokuqina kwayo kanye nemvelaphi yayo yendawo eshisayo, ukunakekela i-coleus akunzima nakancane. Kuyinto engacabangi kakhulu futhi ikhula kahle ezimeni ezijwayelekile.
UColeus ekhaya uthanda inhlabathi evulekile enokuqukethwe kwe-nitrogen ephezulu. Izwa intle kakhulu ingxube yesihlabathi, i-peat, iqabunga kanye nenhlabathi ye-turf, ethathwe ngenani elilinganayo. Uma kungekho inani le-nitrogen elidingekayo, lesi sitshalo sizoqala ukuphonsa ama-peduncle futhi sikhule sincane.
Njengoba i-coleus iyisitshalo esishisayo, ikhetha umoya omanzi. Kodwa-ke, uma ungazithobi, ingakwazi ukuzivumelanisa nomoya owomile ekhaya. Kulokhu, amaqabunga awo kufanele afafazwe ngamanzi afudumele amile. Ebusika, ukufafaza akudingeki kuColeus.
IColeus inesigaba sokukhula esisebenzayo entwasahlobo nasehlobo. Ngalesi sikhathi, kufanele iniselwe futhi iniselwa njalo, kepha qiniseka ukuthi amanzi awagxili epanini.
Ebusika, i-coleus empeleni ayikhuli, okusho ukuthi idinga ukuniselwa ngezikhathi ezithile kuphela, okuwukuthi, lapho ukoma kwodaka kubuna. Akunandaba nesikhathi sonyaka, kungcono ukunisela isitshalo ngamanzi afudumele nasimile.
I-hypoesthes yezimbali ehlobisa kakhulu futhi enemibala eminingi izongeza imibala eminingi engadini yakho yezimbali, ngokunakekelwa okufanele ekhaya, ungazijwayela ngalesi sitshalo lapha.
Coleus lokushisa lokuqukethwe
Lesi sitshalo sise-thermophilic impela. IColeus ikhula kahle emazingeni okushisa angama-18-25 degrees. Uma umakhela umswakama ophakeme, uzokhula emazingeni okushisa aphakeme.
Ebusika, i-coleus idinga ukugcinwa emakamelweni apholile, khona-ke ngeke yelula. Kepha, kunoma yikuphi, izinga lokushisa akufanele libe ngaphansi kwama-degree ayi-15 ukuze angawashiyi amaqabunga.
Isibani seColeus
Isitshalo sithanda ukukhanya okukhanyayo. Kuphela ngesilinganiso sokukhanya esanele lapho kuzoba si-bushy, futhi amaqabunga ayogcina umbala wawo okhanyayo.
Kodwa-ke, imisebe eqondile ngokweqile kufanele igwenywe ukuze amaqabunga angashisi.
Umanyolo weColeus
UColeus udinga umanyolo we-nitrogen. Ehlobo, idinga ukondliwa masonto onke.
Kepha ebusika, umanyolo uyekwa ngokuphelele.
Ukufakelwa kweColeus ekhaya
Isikhathi esihle sokufakelwa kwesitshalo intwasahlobo. Kulokhu, i-coleus idinga ukutshalwa ngokujulile, ngoba kulokhu izimpande ezengeziwe zingakheka esiqwini sazo, futhi ziyozala kangcono.
Lapho ufakelwa, kuyadingeka ukuncipha iziqu nezimpande. Kepha kaningi, i-coleus ayitshalwa, kodwa ivuselelwa ngokutshala okusikiwe. Benza futhi lokhu entwasahlobo. Udinga ukuthatha imbiza ebanzi, wenze amanzi, bese ngokushesha nje isihlahla esisha se-coleus sijabulisa umhlaba ngobuhle baso.
Ukusakazwa kweColeus ngokusikwa
Izisiki zisikwa entwasahlobo bese ziyimpande esihlabathini noma emanzini. Kungakapheli isonto, sezivele zinikeza izimpande ezincane ezikhula ngokushesha.
Akumele sikhohlwe ngokunamathisela amahlumela, ukuze isihlahla esisha sihle kakhulu.
I-Coleus ekhula embewini ekhaya
Imbewu yeColeus ihlwanyelwa kangcono ngasekupheleni kukaFebhuwari noma ekuqaleni kukaMashi. Ukusabalalisa isitshalo ngembewu, ungafinyelela imibala ehlukahlukene emangalisayo.
Izilimo kumele zimbozwe ngefilimu noma ngengilazi futhi zigcinwe endaweni efudumele futhi ekhanyayo emazingeni okushisa okungenani angama-20 degrees. Kungekudala, i-coleus igxibha izinkomishi ezincane, ngemuva kokuvela kwamaqabunga amabili angempela, futhi ngemuva kwamasonto ambalwa kufanele ancine iziqongo.
