He kaituhi motuhake a Mackenzie Nichols, he tohunga ki ngā purongo māra me te whakangahau. He tohunga ia ki te tuhituhi mō ngā tipu hou, ngā auahatanga māra, ngā tohutohu me ngā tinihanga māra, ngā auahatanga whakangahau, ngā pātai me ngā whakautu me ngā kaiārahi o te umanga whakangahau me te māra, me ngā auahatanga o te ao o ēnei rā. Neke atu i te 5 tau ia e tuhituhi ana i ngā tuhinga mō ngā whakaputanga nui.
Kua kite pea koe i ēnei tapawhā matomato, e mōhiotia ana ko te pahuka putiputi, ngā oasis rānei, i roto i ngā whakaritenga putiputi i mua, ā, kua whakamahia pea e koe hei pupuri i ngā putiputi kia mau tonu. Ahakoa kua roa te pahuka putiputi e whakamahia ana, kua whakaatuhia e ngā rangahau pūtaiao tata nei he kino pea tēnei hua ki te taiao. Ina koa, ka pakaru ki roto i ngā kirihou moroiti, ka poke i ngā puna wai me te kino ki ngā mea ora i roto i te wai. Hei tāpiri, ka raru pea te manawa o te tangata i te puehu pahuka. Nā ēnei take, kua neke atu ngā huihuinga putiputi nui pērā i te Whakaaturanga Puawai Chelsea a te Royal Horticultural Society me te Slow Flower Summit i te pahuka putiputi. Engari, kei te huri haere ngā kaihanga putiputi ki ngā momo pahuka putiputi hei whakakapi mō ā rātou mahi. Anei te take me mahi anō hoki koe, me ngā mea ka taea e koe te whakamahi hei utu mō ngā whakaritenga putiputi.
He mea māmā, he mea mimiti te pahuka putiputi, ka taea te whakatakoto ki raro i ngā vase me ētahi atu ipu hei hanga i te turanga mō ngā hoahoa putiputi. I mea a Rita Feldman, te kaiwhakaū o te Whatunga Putiputi Tauwhiro o Ahitereiria: "Mō te wā roa, i whakaaro ngā kaiwhakapai putiputi me ngā kaihoko he hua taiao tēnei pahuka kakariki pakarukaru."
Kāore i te tuatahi i hangaia ngā hua pahuka matomato mō ngā whakaritenga putiputi, engari nā Vernon Smithers o Smithers-Oasis i patent mō tēnei whakamahinga i ngā tau 1950. E ai ki a Feldmann, i tere te rongonui o te Oasis Floral Foam i waenga i ngā kaiwhakapai putiputi ngaio nā te mea "he tino iti te utu, ā, he tino ngāwari ki te whakamahi. Ka tapahia noa e koe, ka rumakina ki te wai, ka tāpirihia te kakau ki roto." I roto i ngā ipu, ka uaua ki te whakahaere i ēnei ipu me te kore he turanga pakari mō ngā putiputi. "Nā tana mahi hou i tino ngāwari ai ngā whakaritenga putiputi ki ngā kaiwhakarite kore wheako kāore i taea te pupuri i ngā kakau ki te wāhi e hiahiatia ana e rātou," tāna tāpiri.
Ahakoa he mea hanga te pahuka putiputi mai i ngā matū whakaputa mate pukupuku e mōhiotia ana pērā i te formaldehyde, he iti noa iho ngā matū paitini e toe ana i roto i te hua kua oti. Ko te raruraru nui ki te pahuka putiputi ko te mea ka puta ina maka atu. Kāore e taea te hangarua te pahuka, ā, ahakoa he mea pirau i te taha hangarau, ka pakaru hei matūriki iti e kiia nei ko ngā kirihou iti ka noho tonu ki te taiao mō ngā rau tau. Kei te piki haere te āwangawanga o ngā kaipūtaiao mō ngā tūponotanga hauora ki te tangata me ētahi atu rauropi e puta mai ana i ngā kirihou iti i roto i te hau me te wai.
Hei tauira, i roto i tētahi rangahau nā te Whare Wānanga o RMIT i whakaputaina i te tau 2019 i roto i te Science of the Total Environment, i kitea mō te wā tuatahi ka pāngia ngā mea ora wai e ngā kirihou iti i roto i te pahuka putiputi. I kitea e ngā kairangahau he kino ā-tinana, ā-matū hoki ēnei kirihou iti ki ngā momo momo wai māori me te moana e kai ana i ngā matūriki.
I kitea tuatahitia e tētahi atu rangahau hou nā ngā kaipūtaiao i te Kura Hauora o Hull York ngā kirihou moroiti i roto i ngā pukahukahu tangata. E whakaatu ana ngā hua he pūtake nui te manawa o ngā kirihou moroiti ki te horapa. Haunga te pahuka putiputi, ka kitea anō hoki ngā kirihou moroiti e rere ana i te rangi i roto i ngā hua pēnei i ngā pounamu, ngā takai, ngā kākahu me ngā mea whakapaipai. Heoi, kāore i te mārama me pēhea te pānga o ēnei kirihou moroiti ki te tangata me ētahi atu kararehe.
Kia tae rā anō ki te wā e whakapuakina ai e ngā rangahau anō te māramatanga mō ngā tūponotanga o te pahuka putiputi me ētahi atu pūtake o ngā kirihou moroiti, kei te āwangawanga ngā kaihanga putiputi pērā i a Tobey Nelson o Tobey Nelson Events + Design, LLC mō te hongi i te puehu e puta mai ana i te wā e whakamahia ana te hua. Ahakoa e akiaki ana a Oasis i ngā kaihanga putiputi kia mau i ngā kopare tiaki i te wā e pā ana ki ngā hua, he tokomaha kāore e pena. "Ko taku tumanako anake i roto i ngā tau 10, 15 rānei kāore rātou e kīia he mate pūkahukahu huka, he mate pūkahukahu pango rānei mō ngā kaimaina," te kī a Nelson.
Mā te whakakore tika i te pahuka putiputi ka nui te āwhina ki te ārai i te parahanga o te hau me te wai mai i ngā kirihou moroiti. E kī ana a Feldmann i roto i tētahi rangahau a ngā kaiwhakatipu putiputi ngaio i whakahaerehia e te Sustainable Floristry Network, 72 ōrau o te hunga e whakamahi ana i te pahuka putiputi i whakaae i maka atu e rātou ki te waikeri i muri i te maroke o ngā putiputi, ā, 15 ōrau i kī i tāpirihia e rātou ki tā rātou māra me te oneone. Hei tāpiri, "ka uru te pahuka putiputi ki te taiao mā roto i ngā huarahi maha: ka tanumia ki roto i ngā kāwhena, mā roto i ngā pūnaha wai i roto i ngā vase, ka konatunatua ki ngā putiputi i roto i ngā pūnaha para matomato, ngā māra me ngā wairākau," te kī a Feldman.
Ki te hiahia koe ki te hangarua i te pahuka putiputi, e whakaae ana ngā tohunga he pai ake te maka ki te whenua ururua i te maka ki roto i te waikeri, te tāpiri rānei ki te wairākau, ki te para rānei i te māra. E kī ana a Feldman kia ringihia te wai kei roto ngā wahi pahuka putiputi, "ringihia ki roto i tētahi papanga matotoru, pērā i te urunga tawhito, kia mau ai te maha o ngā wahi pahuka."
E ai ki a Nelson, he pai ake pea ki ngā kaihoko putiputi te whakamahi i te pahuka putiputi nā te mea he māmā noa iho, he ngāwari hoki. "Āe, he uaua ki te maumahara ki tētahi putea hoko kai ka taea te whakamahi anō i roto i te motuka," tana kī. "Engari me neke atu tātou katoa i te whakaaro ngāwari, kia whai oranga tonutanga ake ai tātou i roto i tēnei ao, kia kaha ake ai tā tātou mahi, kia whakaitihia ai hoki tō tātou pānga ki te ao." I tāpiri atu a Nelson, he maha ngā kaihoko putiputi kāore pea i te mōhio kei reira ngā kōwhiringa pai ake.
Kei te tuku a Oasis i tētahi hua ka taea te whakapūkara i te wai, ko TerraBrick te ingoa. Ko te hua hou he "mea hanga mai i ngā muka kokonati tūturu, he mea whakahou, he mea here ka taea te whakapūkara." Pērā i te Oasis Floral Foam, ka mimiti a TerraBrick i te wai hei pupuri i te makuku o ngā putiputi me te pupuri tonu i te tūnga o ngā kakau putiputi. Kātahi ka taea te whakapūkara haumaru i ngā hua muka kokonati me te whakamahi i roto i te māra. Ko tētahi atu momo hou ko te Oshun Pouch, i hangaia i te tau 2020 e te Tumuaki o New Age Floral, a Kirsten VanDyck. Kua whakakīia te putea ki tētahi rauemi ka taea te whakapūkara e pupuhi ana i roto i te wai, ā, ka taea te tu atu i te rehu nui rawa atu o te kāwhena, e ai ki a VanDyck.
He maha atu anō ngā huarahi hei tautoko i ngā whakaritenga putiputi, tae atu ki ngā poroka putiputi, ngā taiapa waea, me ngā kōhatu whakapaipai, ngā piripiri rānei i roto i ngā vase. Ka taea rānei e koe te auaha ki ngā mea kei a koe, pērā i tā VanDyck i whakaatu i tana hoahoa tuatahi mō te Garden Club. "Engari i te pahuka putiputi, i tapahia e au he merengi kia rua, ā, i whakatōkia e au ētahi manu o te pararaiha ki roto." E kore e roa te merengi pērā i te pahuka putiputi, engari koinā te kaupapa. E ai ki a VanDyck he pai mō tētahi hoahoa e tika ana kia kotahi noa te rā e roa ai.
I te mea kei te piki haere te maha o ngā huarahi kē atu e wātea ana, me te mōhio ki ngā pānga kino o te pahuka putiputi, e mārama ana he mea ngāwari te whakauru atu ki te waka #nofloralfoam. Koinei pea te take, i a te umanga putiputi e mahi ana ki te whakapai ake i tōna oranga tonutanga whānui, e whakapono ana a TJ McGrath o TJ McGrath Design "ko te whakakore i te pahuka putiputi te mea nui rawa atu."
