KOHLERIE
(KOHLERIA)
|
|
Kohlerie jsou rostlinami Nového Světa s výskytem v Jižní Americe – Kolumbii, Mexiku, Peru. Rostou v horách i lesích, na vlhkých a mírně stíněných místech, ale i na osluněných nechráněných. Jsou to byliny rostoucí vzpřímeně nebo převisle, do výšky 30-50 cm. Celá rostlina včetně stonků a květů je ochlupena, někdy i v červeném zabarvení. Listy jsou v různých odstínech zelené, s výraznými cévkami, byly již ale vyšlechtěny i pestrolisté odrůdy – např. Texas Rainbow nebo novinka pro rok 2009 Bristol´s Possibly Bronze (šl. Ralph Robinson, USA). Květy jsou velice neobvyklé trubkovitého tvaru, na konci se samostatnými 5 okvětními plátky, které bývají v různých barevných kombinacích, na okvětních plátcích vždy s více či méně výrazným žíháním až tečkováním. V přírodě tyto květy velice často opylují kolibříci, neboť nektar je dosti hluboko v trubce květu.
Bývají také zmatky v pojmenování, neboť např. se těžko rozliší, zda nabízená je k. amabilis např. var. bogotensis nebo var. amabilis, nebo Amabilis Hybrids???
Pěstování:
Kohlerie jsou gesnerky, vyžadující přes zimu „klidové období“. Umisťujeme je na mírně osluněná místa s teplotou nejméně 22°C, pokud jsou rostliny aklimatizované (pěstuji na balkoně), snesou i přímé slunce. Zaléváme dostatečně (ale nesmí být neustále přemokřené), také jednou týdně přihnojujeme. Zhruba koncem září začínají rostliny stagnovat v růstu, ztrácí „pěkný“ vzhled – zmírníme zálivku, ale nikdy nenecháme zcela vyschnout (jako např. achimenesy), rostliny sestříhneme (lze použít na vrcholové řízkování), ponecháme několik listů a zbytek stonku a uložíme na chráněné, chladné místo (cca kolem 15°C), občas mírně porosíme nebo opatrně zalijeme. Na jaře ze zeminy vyjmeme kořenový bal, který obsahuje „rhizomy“, očistíme a zasázíme do čerstvé zemní směsi (zemina, vermikulit, perlit). Množíme dělením „velkých a dlouhých“ rhizomů, nebo také vrchlovými řízky, také lze namnožit z listů (ale je to zdlouhavé).

TEXAS RAINBOWS
|
|
| trianae |
(1865, Regel, Hanstein)
Based on Ioloma trianaei – Regel. Tall, shrubby, leaves opposite, edged in red hairs; flowers usually 4 per axil, produced on long axillary peduncles, brightred. Fruit a dry capsule. Distribution: endemic to the Central Cordillera in Colombia
|
|
VERSAILLES
|
|
| warszewiczii |
(1865, Regel, Hanstein)
Based on Sciadocaly warszewiczii – Regel.
Tall, floriferous, flowers usually produced on elongate axilliary peduncle with 3-6 flowers; calyx lobes large and reflexed, tube somewhat inflated, scarlet, pink, or lavender, limb yellow to green, spoted with red or purple. Fruit a dry capsule. Distribution: Colombia. This species is quite vrable, especially with respect to flower colour. Collections with a pink tube and greenish limb have long been grown under the name K. digitaliflora, which is now considered synonym. Under both names, K.warszewiczii has been used extensively in hybridizing and is a parent of the “Sciadotydaea hybrids”. Many of the plants now grown as K. warszewiczii hybrids, apparently due to misidentification of “Sciadotydaea hybrids” as the species. Rejected synonyms: Isoloma digitaliflorum, Isoloma warszewiczii, kohleria violacea, Sciadocalyx digitaliflora, Kohleria digitaliflora |
