Wai ora
Ka taea e ngā toka puia te whakahohe i ngā katote i roto i te wai (te nuinga o te wā ka whakanui ake i te nui o ngā katote hāora) ā, ka taea te tuku paku i te hihi whero-whero, he mea pai mō ngā ika me ngā tāngata. Kāore e taea te wareware i te pānga patu huakita o ngā toka puia. Mā te tāpiri i ēnei ki te puna ika ka taea te ārai me te rongoā i ngā tūroro. Kounga wai pumau
Ko te pānga o ngā toka puia ki te kounga o te wai e kitea nuitia ana i roto i ngā āhuatanga e rua: te whakaū i te pH me te nui o ngā kohuke i roto i te wai.
toru
Te mimiti
Ka taea e te hanganga pūwero o ngā toka puia te mimiti i ngā huakita kino me ngā katote konganuku taumaha e pā ana ki ngā rauropi i roto i te wai. Mā te whakanoho i ngā toka puia ki roto i te puna ika tarakona ka mimiti i ngā toenga me ngā paru kāore e taea te tātari e te tātari, ka noho ma tonu te kounga o te wai i roto i te puna.
whā
Whakaoho i te pākia o te tinana
Ka taea e ngā huānga iti e tukuna ana e ngā toka puia te whakatairanga i te pākia o ngā pūtau kararehe me te whakaputa mai i ngā halide kino ki roto i te tinana, ka horoi i te paru i roto i ngā pūtau.
rima
Whakapai ake i te tipu
Ka taea e ngā kōhatu puia te whakanui ake i te hanganga o ngā pūmua i roto i te tinana o te ika tarakona, me te whakarei ake i te mahi ārai mate.

He nui ngā matūriki kei roto i ngā toka puia, ā, he uara motuhake tō rātou mō te whakatipu putiputi me te whakapaipai whenua. Mā te tāpiri i ētahi toka puia ki te oneone mō te whakatipu putiputi, ehara i te mea ka pai ake te uruhanga me te rerenga wai o te oneone, engari ka whakarato hoki i ngā matūkai whai rawa mō ngā tipu. Hei tāpiri, ka taea hoki e ngā putiputi kōhatu puia te whakahaere i te waikawa me te kawakore o te oneone, te whakanui ake i te uara whakapaipai o te oneone kohua, te mimiti i ngā matū paitini me ngā huakita kino. Kei raro nei, ka whakaratohia he whakataki taipitopito mō te mahi a ngā putiputi kōhatu puia. Ko te kōhatu puia he momo matūriki nui ake, ka taea te whakapai ake i te rerenga wai me te rerenga wai o te oneone ina konatunatua ki te kōhatu puia i roto i te oneone kohua. He tino pai mō ngā putiputi e hiahia ana kia tupu i runga i te oneone ngawari.
He ngoikore te waikawa o ngā toka puia, ā, ka taea e rātou te whakaheke i te oneone kawakore ki te kūpapa, ki te paku waikawa rānei, kia pai ai mō te whakatipu i ngā tipu momona e pai ana ki te oneone paku waikawa.
He nui ngā huānga kohuke kei roto i ngā toka puia, ā, he pai mō te whakatō putiputi e hiahia ana ki te nui o te tongi, pērā i te ōkiti, ā, ka taea hoki te whakatairanga i te tipu o ngā tipu. Hei tāpiri, he hanganga pūwero tō ngā toka puia ka taea te whakapakari i ngā pakiaka o ngā tipu, ā, ka whakarei ake i tō rātou kaha ki te mimiti i ngā matūkai me te wai.
He kanapa ngā tae o ngā kōhatu puia, ā, he tino whakapaipai. Mā te whakaranu i ngā kōhatu puia ki te oneone ka taea hoki te tāpiri i te nui o te tae ki te bonsai.
