Amangopanga cephalium akakhala atakula bwino, ndipo ikangoyamba kukula, siidzatha mpaka mbeuyo ifa. Kotero iwo akhoza kukhala ovuta kudziwitsa iwo asanakwane kukula. Zikhoza kukhala zovuta chifukwa cha zina mwazofuna zawo ndipo ndizosankha bwino kwa alimi omwe amadziwika bwino ndi amphaka. Komabe, iwo ndi okongola komanso odabwitsa akakula.
Mavuto Okula

Mizu yawo mizu idzapita kanthawi pang'ono kuti ikhalepo, kotero musadwale mopitirira madzi kapena musagwedezeke iwo asanakhale ndi zipangizo zofunika. Kumbukirani, nthawi zonse muzigwiritsa ntchito mbewu zatsopano-ziyenera kukhala zouma mukamazitenga isanafike.
Kubwereza
Chodziwika ndi ichi, Melocactus amafuna kuti azisamalidwa bwino, choncho azikhala nawo m'mbiya yaying'ono yomwe imayambitsa mizu yawo. Kuwabwezera kumayambiriro kwa nyengo yokula ndilo lingaliro labwino mpaka atapanga cephaliums ndipo thupi limasiya kukula, ndipo liyenera kubwezeredwa monga ena cacti: pochotsa mizu yonse mwakamodzi, kuyeretsa mofatsa, ndikuikamo. Onetsetsani kuti musabwezeretse chidebe chachikulu kwambiri kuti muteteze chomera.
