Naphezu kwegama layo elithi "Desert Rose" (ngenxa yemvelaphi yalo yasogwadule nezimbali ezinjengama rose), empeleni ingeyomndeni wakwa-Apocynaceae (Oleander)!

I-Desert Rose (i-Adenium obesum), eyaziwa nangokuthi i-Sabi Star noma i-Mock Azalea, isihlahla esinamanzi noma isihlahla esincane sohlobo lwe-Adenium yomndeni wakwa-Apocynaceae. Isici sayo esihluke kakhulu yi-caudex (isisekelo) evuvukele, emise okwebhodlela. Itholakala ezifundeni eziseduze nezingwadule futhi inezimbali ezigqamile njenge-rose, ithole igama elithi "Desert Rose".

Njengoba idabuka eKenya naseTanzania e-Afrika, iDesert Rose yethulwa eNingizimu yeChina ngeminyaka yawo-1980s futhi manje isilinywa ezindaweni eziningi zaseShayina.

I-Morphological Characters

I-Caudex: Indawo evuvukile, enefindo, efana nebhodlela lewayini.

Amaqabunga: Aluhlaza okotshani, ahlangene phezulu kwe-caudex. Ziwa ngesikhathi sokulala kwehlobo.

Izimbali: Imibala ihlanganisa pink, emhlophe, ebomvu, nephuzi. Zibukeka zinhle, ziqhakaza njengezinkanyezi ezihlakazekile.

Isikhathi Sokuqhakaza: Isikhathi eside sokuqhakaza, esiqala ngoMeyi kuya kuZibandlela.

Imikhuba Yokukhula

Incamela izimo ezishisayo, ezomile, nezinelanga. Ibekezelela ukushisa okukhulu kodwa ayiqinile ku-frost. Igwema inhlabathi egcwele amanzi. Ikhula kahle enhlabathini enesihlabathi evundile kahle, exegayo, evundile.

Umhlahlandlela Wokunakekela

Ukuchelela: Landela umgomo othi “womisa kahle, bese uchelela kakhulu”. Khulisa imvamisa kancane ehlobo, kodwa gwema ukugcwala kwamanzi.

Ukuvundisa: Faka umanyolo we-PK nyanga zonke ngesikhathi sokukhula. Yeka ukuvundisa ebusika.

Ukukhanya: Kudinga ukukhanya kwelanga okuningi, kodwa nikeza umthunzi oyingxenye phakathi nemini yelanga lasehlobo.

Izinga lokushisa: Ibanga elifanele lokukhula: 25-30°C (77-86°F). Gcina ngaphezu kuka-10°C (50°F) ebusika.

Ukubuyisela kabusha: Phinda njalo ngonyaka entwasahlobo, uphungule izimpande ezindala futhi uqabule umhlabathi.

Inani Eliyinhloko

Inani Lokuhlobisa: Iklonyeliswa ngezimbali zayo ezinhle ngokumangazayo, okuyenza ibe isitshalo esihle kakhulu esisebhodweni lasendlini.

Inani Lokwelapha: Izimpande zayo/i-caudex isetshenziswa ekwelashweni kwendabuko ukuqeda ukushisa, ukukhipha ubuthi, ukuhlakaza i-stasis yegazi, nokukhulula ubuhlungu.

I-Horticultural Value: Ifaneleka kahle ukutshala ezingadini, kuvulandi, namavulandi ukuze kuthuthukiswe uhlaza.

Amanothi Abalulekile

Nakuba ikwazi ukumelana nesomiso, ukuncishwa amanzi isikhathi eside kuzodala ukuwohloka kwamaqabunga, kunciphise ukukhanga kwawo kokuhlobisa.

Ukuvikela ubusika kubalulekile ukuze kuvikelwe ukulimala kwesithwathwa.

Nikeza umthunzi wantambama ngesikhathi sokushisa kwehlobo okukhulu ukuze ugweme ukuhangula kwamaqabunga.
