Kuchaza Lesihlahla

Litsanga lisuka emndenini wetibhidvo te cucurbit. Letinye ti cucurbits tifaka ekhatsi marrows, ema cucumbers nelitsanga. Tikhulela phansi bese emacembe akhona enta intfo lengatsi iyatfusa. Lesihlahla sinemacembe leme ngatsi inhlitiyo. Lesihlahla si moneecious, loku kusho kutsi timbali letisikati naletidvuna tiyahlangana. Timbali letisikati letenta sitselo tikhulu kunaleti letidvuna letingeni titselo.

Kusebenta Lwelitsanga

Litsanga lelikhulile lingadliwa losiwe, libilisiwe, kwentiwe lisobho noma lilungiswe bese lifakwa etikoteleni. Liphetse umsoco lomunyenti, liphetse Calcium, Vitamin A, C na E. emacembe akhona kanye netimbali tiyadliwa njenge tibhidvo todvwa noma tihlanganiswe naletinye tibhidvo.

Umhlabatsi Lodzingekako Nekuwulungisa

Litsanga njengaletinye ti cuurbits, titsandza umhlabatsi wesanti, lohambisa kahle emanti futsi ube uvudzile. Umhlabatsi lone pH lengu 6 na 6.8. uma lomhlabatsi uacidic, ngeta litfunyela emhlabatsini ungakahlanyeli.
Cala kulungisa umhlabatsi kusasele emaviki lasitfupha kutsi uhlanyele. Uma umhlabatsi uhlangene kakhulu, yenta siciniseko kutsi uyawutsambisa ungakahlanyeli. Uma kudzingeka umcuba noma litfunyela, umcuba noma manyolo uyafakwa emhlabatsini ngalesi sikhatsi. Umhlabatsi ulungiswa kushobela lekungu 300 mm kuya ku 400 mm kuhlanganisa umcuba nelitfunyela. Kumcoka kutsi utame kulungisa umhlabatsi kute kube katsatfu.
Loku kusita kususa likhula nalokunye lokungafuneki ensimini. Nasekusele emalanga lamancane kutsi uhlanyele, lendzawo ingaphindze ilungiswe ngelikhuba kususa likhula lelingaba khona futsi nekucondzisa lendzawo.

Simo Selitulu

Litsanga likhula kahle endzaweni leshisako, kufanele uhlanyele makutfwasa lihlobo nasekucaleni kwelihlobo. eSouth Africa kusukela nga August kuya ku December. Lesihlahla asivani nekubandza kakhulu, kungasibulala lesihlahla. Uma nje lelitsanga lingatfuli kushisa kakhulu emalanga lamanyenti alandzelana kushisa lokundlula ku 35°C (loku kwenta kwandze timbali letidvuna letingakhiciti titselo) noma kubandza lokungaphansi kwa 12°C (loku kunciphisa noma kumise kukhula), lelitsanga lingahlanyelwa ekucaleni kwa July kute kube ngu February. Kushisa lokukahle lokwenta kumile inhlanyelo kungaba ngu 20°C kuya ku 30°C.

Tinhlobo Tetinhlanyelo
