Kwari da cututtuka da aka fi gani

Yawanci ba ya da matsala. Kula da scale, mealybugs, da aphids a kan sandunan fure, da kuma cizon katantanwa/slug a waje lokaci-lokaci. A cikin gida, fungus gnats galibi alama ce ta ƙasa mai yawan danshi. Tabon ganye da matsalolin fungi sun fi faruwa idan danshi ya yi yawa, iska ta yi ƙasa, ko shayarwa ta yi sama—inganta zagayawar iska, shayar a layin ƙasa, kuma ku yi amfani da sabulun kashe kwari ko neem idan ya zama dole.

Guba

Guba ne idan an ci, musamman ga dabbobin gida (kare/mage) da dabbobin kiwo saboda saponins—na iya haifar da zubar yawu, amai, ko gudawa. Hakanan akwai haɗarin jiki: ƙarshen ganyaye masu kaifi na iya huda ido da fata. A sanya shi a wuri da ya dace kuma a mu’amala da shi da safar hannu (da kariyar ido idan kana yanke).

Alama:Juriya, ɗorewa, kariya, da sabbin farawa—kamar shuka da ke bunƙasa inda wasu ke fāɗi.

Tarihi da tatsuniyoyi:Yucca ta daɗe tana zama “shuka mai amfani” ga al’ummomin asali na Amurka, ana darajarta saboda ƙarfan zarurrukan ganye (don igiya da kwanduna) da tushen mai wadatar saponin da ke yin kumfa kamar sabulu. Ɗaya daga cikin shahararrun haɗin gwiwar halitta shi ne yucca da kwarin yucca moth (Tegeticula spp.): kwarin yana yin pollination na furanni da gangan yayin ajiye ƙwai, kuma tsaba da ke tasowa suna ciyar da larva—misali na ƙaƙƙarfan juyin halitta tare.

Amfani:Ado: Ƙawancen da ke jan ido ga xeriscapes, lambunan dutse, da tukwane; sandunan fure kuma na iya zama yankan ado mai ban sha’awa.
Amfani: Wasu tushe na yucca ana amfani da su a gargajiya don sabulu/shamfu; zarurrukan ganye an yi amfani da su don igiya da saka. Wasu nau’ikan yucca suna da fure ko ‘ya’ya masu ci (yi taka tsantsan—yawan ci ya dogara da nau’in da kuma yadda aka sarrafa).

Sau nawa ya kamata in shayar Allurar Adamu?

Zai iya girma a cikin gida?

I—ba shi taga mafi haske, mafi rana da kuke da ita da kuma gauraya mai sa ruwa ya zube da sauri. Juya tukunyar lokaci-lokaci don daidaitaccen girma, kuma a kula da kaifin ƙarshen ganyaye a wuraren da suka matse.

Me yasa yucca dina ba ta yin fure?

Mafi yawan dalilai su ne rashin isasshen rana, shukar tana da ƙuruciya, ko yanayi mai yalwar abinci/inuwa. Cikakken hasken rana da ƙasa mai kyau wajen zubewar ruwa suna taimakawa. Wasu shekarun kuma kan fi yin fure fiye da wasu gwargwadon yanayi.

Shin Yucca filamentosa na gaske tana jure sanyi?

I—na daga cikin yucca mafi juriya (ana yawan nomanta a USDA Zone 4). Babban barazanar hunturu ita ce ƙasa mai rigar sosai, don haka magudanar ruwa yana da muhimmanci kamar zafin jiki.

Me yasa ganyayen ƙasa ke zama rawaya?

Ɗan kaɗan na tsofaffin ganyaye na ƙasa su zama rawaya al’ada ce. Idan da yawa sun yi rawaya cikin sauri ko tushe ya yi laushi, yi zargin yawan shayarwa ko rashin magudanar ruwa.
