Mitengo yamakono imakondedwa chifukwa cha zipatso zake zokoma komanso zosapsa. Koma kuti chaka chilichonse aziwombera zipatso zabwino za mtengo, ndikofunikira kuzisamalira. Kupanga korona wa mtengo wokongola ndipo nthawi yomweyo kumapangitsa kuti chipatsocho chikhale cholimba, muyenera kudziwa nthawi komanso momwe mungadulire yamatcheri aang'ono ndi achikulire.
Ndikhoza liti kuchepetsa chitumbuwa?
Oyamba akalima nthawi zina amasangalatsidwa: kaya chitumbuwacho chidulidwa? Dziwani kuti kudula mtengo wa zipatso uwu umatsatira chaka ndi chaka. Ndipo n'kofunika kwambiri kudula chitumbuwa bwino m'chaka choyamba cha kukula kwake. Chomerachi chimakonzanso pamene kudula mitengo, kuthekera kwa matenda a mtengo kumachepa, ndipo kukoma ndi ngakhale mtundu wa chipatso kumakhala bwino.
Nthawi zambiri, chitumbuwa chimadulidwa kumapeto. Pano pali zinsinsi: kudulira kuyenera kuchitika pa kutentha kwa mphepo, koma isanayambe kutuluka mumtengo. Kudulira masika kumagwiritsidwa ntchito kupanga korona wa mtengo.
Anthu a wamaluwa omwe amadziwa bwino kudula chitumbuwa chokoma mu kugwa, taganizirani nthawi ino ya chaka yabwino kwambiri pa chochitika ichi. Pa nthawiyi, mphukira yowonjezera imachepetsedwa ku masamba atatu. Ngati kudulira kumapangidwira kuti zikhale zoyenera, ndiye kuti pamtengo onse odwala ndi owonongeka nthambi achotsedwa.
Wamaluwawo amachitanso chilimwe kudulira mchere wamatcheri, motero, mphukira imasiya kukula, ndipo korona wa mtengo umawoneka ngati fan.
Ngati mwagula mbeu yamakale yamtundu umodzi, musanayambe kubzala pansi, muyenera kudula mtunda wa 50-70 masentimita.
Mtengo wa chitumbuwa chaching'ono chimakula mofulumira kwambiri, motero kupanga mawonekedwe ochepa a fruiting mphukira. Choncho, nthambi zazikuluzikulu za zipatso ziyenera kudula nthawi zonse. Ngati mtundu wa chitumbuwa umakhala ndi mphukira zambiri, ndiye kuti masamba awiriwa ayenera kuchotsedwa pa iwo, chifukwa kuchoka kwa iwo kumakula pang'onopang'ono. Kudulira mitengo yamatcheri akale kumagwiritsiridwa ntchito kukonzanso mtengo. Pankhaniyi, nthambi zowuma, odwala, komanso zapamwamba kwambiri zimachotsedwa.
