I-Peat yinto engokwemvelo, efunyenwe ngenxa yesigamu-nobomi bezityalo ezityalwa kwiimeko zokuphakama okuphezulu (i-swamp). Kwi-peat substratum, umthamo we-peat uwonke ungathabatha ukusuka kwi-50 ukuya kwi-100% yemali yenani.
I-peat eyona nto ibaluleke kakhulu yipraat ephezulu , yinto enomdla kakhulu kwaye inomsoco. Ingumgca wesiseko esekelwe kwi-peat esetyenzisiweyo njengenxalenye yomhlaba kwiintlobo ezininzi zezityalo.
Ezinye izityalo zifuna kakhulu i-peat substrate. Ngokomzekelo, i-orchids: xa uqulunqa i-substrate kubo, kufuneka ukhumbule ukuba kufuneka kube nokunyusa okunyanzelekayo kunye nokuphefumula. I-substrate kunye ne-peat, i-bark kunye ne-sphagnum ye-phalaenopsis (orchids) idibana nale mfuno ngokuzeleyo.
Izixhobo ze-peat nutrient substrate
Iindawo zokutya eziqhelekileyo zi-sphagnum moss. Futhi i-sphagnum peat bogs yimiba eqhelekileyo ye-peat ne-substrate. Kule sphagnum ineziganeko zayo, ezizibonakaliso zolu hlobo olubunjwa ngabo.
Inxalenye ephambili ye-sphagnum peat bogs yintsika enkulu kwaye, ngokufanelekileyo, amandla okufuma. I-sphagnum enamandla kakhulu yamanzi iyakwazi ukuthoba umswakama ngaphezu kwama-50 ngaphezu kobunzima obumileyo. Kunengqiqo ukuba i-peat iyancipha kakhulu umswakama.
Ukongezelela, i-peat substrate ihlangabezana nezidingo zezityalo kwiimveliso ezincinci kunye nezikhethiweyo, kuba isoloko isetyenziselwa ukukhula kwezityalo kwiimbiza kunye nezitya, kunye nokulima ukutsalwa kwezityalo. Kuyo, iinkqubo zokuhluma kwembewu zikhawuleza, ngoko-ke umgca we-substrate uhlala ukhethwa ukunyanzelisa izityalo.
Iingxaki ze-peat substrate
I-Peat njenge-substrate ayikho yonke indawo kwiintlobo zezityalo. Indawo ye-asidi ehambelana ne-peat substrates ayifani nabo bonke abameli beeflora.
Ukunciphisa u-asidi kumacwecwe amacwecwe okanye i-peat, i-chaki okanye i-lime isoloko ifakwe. Kodwa oku, kunokubangela umxholo ogqithiseleyo we-calcium kwi-substrate, echaphazela kakubi ukuphuhliswa kwezityalo, kuba ikhokelela ekunqongopheni kwe-phosphorus kunye nezinto ezithile.
Ukongezelela, kwinkqubo yokunciphisa i-acidity, umsebenzi wezinto ezinomdaka we-peat unganciphisa, kwaye oku kunciphisa ubuchule be-peat kwaye kwenza ukuba kungenakwenzeka ukusebenzisa izixhobo ezinobungcali ze-peat ngokuzeleyo.
Kwaye enye into: ngenxa yesakhiwo esilula kunye nesigxina se-peat substrate, ngokukhawuleza ilahlekelwa ngumswakama, kuba izityalo zifuna ukuthambisa ngokuphindaphindiweyo. Ngenxa yomswakama oqingqileyo wobumanzi kunye nokuhla kweqondo lokushisa, ingcambu yezinto ezinokuthi ihlupheke, ingakumbi phantsi kweemeko zomgaqo.
