Amasebe omdiliya ayakhula ze ande ngexesha lase ntwasahlobo kwaye alungela ukuvunwa ukususela ekuqaleni ukuya ekupheleni kwehlobo. Umthi womdiliya unabile unamagqabi, njengoko ekwindla imithi iphulukana namagqabi iphinde ikhule kwakhona namagqabi amatsha ekupheleni kobusika.
Umdliliya ukhula kumthi, kwaye kwimveliso yomdiliya wetafile owenzelwa intengiso, imithi iyasekwa imengqo oku kwenziwa ngenjongo yokonyusa umthi ukuze uvelise kakuhle. Ngaphandle koncedo lokumisa imithi ingagobi, imithi iye isasazeke emhlabeni okanye inyukele phezulu. Imidiliya iyasasazwa ngokuthi inqunyulwe kwaye ngenxa yezifo ezisemhlabeni ezifana ne phylloxera, inkoliso yemithi yomdiliya anentlobo ezimbini zomdiliya. Olona hlobo lukhethwayo ngenjongo yemveliso likhula ukodlula umhlaba kodwa lincamathele kwingcambu ezinyamezelayo kwizifo zengcambu sesidiliya.
Imidiliya yetafile inentanga, zikhona intlobo ezingenazo iintanga. Kule mihla kuxhaphake iintlobo ezingenazo iintanga. Imidiliya iyohluka kakhulu ngoko mbala ubungakanani nobume, kunye nencasa nokulungela ukukhula phantsi kwemeko zommandla othile.
