Nui koʻu hoihoi i kēia mea kanu. ʻO ka uluʻana, loaʻa iā mākou he "lāʻau lāʻau" nui ma ko mākou hale. ʻO ka mea iʻikeʻia e hoʻopōmaikaʻi i kēlā me kēiaʻano hanaʻole. Ua hoʻohāinuʻia i ka waiʻole, ua hoʻoneʻeʻia ma luna o ka hale a pau,ʻaʻole i nui kona mālamalama ... akā naʻe, uaʻano ola ia no nā makahiki. A laila hoʻokahi malama,ʻaʻole ola hou. Pau nā lau a make ka mea kanu. ʻAʻole au iʻike i ke kumu o ka mea i pepehiʻia (ʻaʻole wau ka mea mālama iā ia, no laila,ʻaʻole wau iʻike i ka mea e hana ana i ka mea), akā, hoʻomanaʻo wau i ka manaʻo e like paha me kahi ala e ho'ōla ai , me kona mau lālā nunui, palupalu a me ka inoa o keʻano liʻiliʻi.
Inā makemake wau e koho, manaʻo wau he meaʻole ka wai i hana i loko.
ʻO F. elastica he mea liʻiliʻi i nā mea kanu o ka tropical plant e hele mai ana mai Asia Hikina. Aia ma laila, hiki ke ulu i 50 kapuaʻi me kahi kāpili nui o ka hukiʻana, nā lau olonā wāwae. E like me ka nui o nā ficus , ke kau nei lākou i ke aʻa a hoʻolālā i nā koʻokoʻo i ka manawa. Ma ka home,ʻo F. elastica kahi lāʻau maikaʻi maikaʻi loa e ulu ana me ka mālamalama mālamalama, ka wai maʻamau, ka mahana, a me nā mea liʻiliʻi nui.
Nā Kūlana Hoʻoulu:
Mālamalama: F. elastica makemake i ke kukui, me ka māmā i hoʻopiliʻia a hiki keʻae i ka lā kakahiaka. ʻO nā lālā i mālamaʻia i ka pōʻeleʻele nui loa, e lilo lākou i legical, e hāʻule i ko lākou lau lau, aʻo ke kele e lilo iʻeleʻele ma mua o ka nani a me ka nani.
Wahi wai: E hoʻomau i ka'ōmole; He palekana lākou i ka maloʻo nui.
Ka Honua: Hiki paha ke hana i kahi lepo maikaʻi o ka lepo.
Fertilizer: E hānai me ka wai maloʻo ma loko o ka wā ulu. He mau mea paʻakikī nui lākou i ke olakino.
Pākuʻi:
Hiki ke hoʻolahalahaʻia nā mea kanu Rubber mai nā hua o ka lau-lahi, akāʻaʻole maʻalahi. Heʻoi aku paha kaʻoi aku o ka kūʻai aku i kahi lāʻau kanu. Inā ho'āʻoʻoe e lawe i nā pōpoki, e hoʻohana i kahi hormone hopena a kiaʻi e pili ana i ka hoʻokiʻekiʻe kiʻekiʻe a me ka nui o ka mahana. Mai hoʻonāwaliwali ināʻaʻole lākou e maʻalahi; He hanaʻepekemaʻole ia e lawe ana i kekahi manawa.
Hoʻohana hou:
Hiki kokeʻo F. elastica ma nā kūlana maikaʻi a makemakeʻia e hoʻoponopono houʻia i kēlā me kēia makahiki a hiki i ka nui o ka mea kanu. Hiki i nā mea kanu nui ke paʻakikī no ka hoʻopukaʻana ināʻaʻole hiki iāʻoe ke hoʻoneʻe i ka pahu, e hoʻopau i nā'iniha o ka mea e hoʻolapalapa ai ka meaʻaila me ka pani houʻana me ka lepo lepo hou . Manaʻo kekahi poʻe kauka'ōlelo wale i ka hoʻomaʻamaʻaʻana i nā mea kanu i loko o ka hale e pale i ke ākea a me nā mea kanu i lilo i paʻa paʻa no ka mea e ulu nui ana.
ʻAno:
ʻO ka pekelaica maʻamau ka 'Decora' cultivar. ʻO kēia ka lāʻau ululāʻau kaulana me nā lau uliuli'ōmaʻomaʻo me kahi'āpanaʻulaʻula aiʻole keleawe paha i nā lalo o nā lau. Ma keʻano laulā, ua hānaiʻiaʻo F. elastica no ka nui, aʻoi aku ka nui o nā lau.
Nā mea kōkua a Grower:
E like me kaʻu i'ōlelo ai,ʻaʻole kēia mau mea kanu paʻakikī. Hoʻoikaika ka uluʻana o kekahi ma keʻano,ʻo ka loaʻaʻana o ka palekana kūpono i kāu'ōnaehana: ka mālamalama akāʻaʻole ka māmā, ka pa'ū, akāʻaʻole ka mūmū, ka momona nui no ka mālamaʻana iā ia i ka hauʻoli akāʻaʻohe nui e hoʻoikaika i ka ulu ulu. E like me nāʻano likeʻole o ka pila, hiki ke maʻalahi lākou i nā kikoo momona. ʻO nā mea kanu no ka hopena o ka kumu e lilo ai i leggy, me ka hoʻolālāʻana o nā puka, aʻo ka lau mua paha e liʻiliʻi i ka melemele a laila eʻeleʻele a laila e pau loa.
E nānāʻo F. elastica i ka maikaʻi loa i ka wā eʻaʻahuʻia me nā lau, no laila eʻokiʻoki i ka'ōmole (e like paha me ka'ōmole o ka lau i ka'ōmaʻomaʻo, ua hele mua paha ia). Inā nānā pono nā lau a e hāʻule ana, hiki ke kiʻekiʻe loa kāu mau māmā. ʻO ka Ficus elastica he mea maʻalahi ia i nā meaʻeha e like me nā aphids , mealy bugs , mites, scale, and white fly. Inā hiki, e hoʻomaopopo i ka hōʻailona i ka wā hiki a hiki ke hana me kahi kohoʻoihana'eleʻa loa.
