Ehara i te mea he whai hua noa iho ngā mekameka kī hiako, engari he taputapu ahua anō hoki hei whakanui i te āhua. Ahakoa he mea ngāwari tāu mekameka kī hiako ki tētahi putea hiako whakapaipai ake, he mea nui te pupuri i tōna āhua kia roa ake ai tōna ora. I roto i te wā, ka taea e te paru, te hinu, me te paru te kohikohi ki runga i te hiako, ka āhua tawhito, ka memeha hoki. Anei tētahi aratohu mō te horoi pai i tō mekameka hiako me te pupuri tonu i tōna kounga.

I mua i te tīmatanga o te horoi, he mea nui kia mōhio koe ki te momo hiako o tō mekameka kī. Tērā pea he rerekē ngā tikanga tiaki mō ngā momo hiako rerekē, pērā i te hiako kua oti te hanga, te hiako kua oti te hanga, te hiako kua hangarua rānei. Kia mahara ki te tirotiro i ngā tohutohu tiaki motuhake a te kaihanga.

Hei horoi i tō mekameka kī hiako, me whai koe i ētahi taputapu taketake:

● Kakahu Ngāwari: He mea tino pai te kakahu muka-iti nā te mea e kore e rakuraku te hiako.

● Hopi Māmā: Whakamahia he hopi māmā, pērā i te hopi pēpi, he hopi horoi hiako motuhake rānei.

● Wai: He pai ake te whakamahi i te wai kua whakakorengia hei karo i ngā kohuke ka pā ki te hiako.

● Whakangawari Hiako: Ka āwhina tēnei ki te whakahoki mai i te makuku me te ārai i te pakaru i muri i te horoinga.

● Te Tango Puehu: Tuatahi, whakamahia he kakahu ngohengohe hei muru mārire i te puehu, i te paru rānei e memeha ana i te mata o te mekameka kī hiako. He mea nui tēnei mahi kia kore ai e rakuraku i te wā e horoia ana.

● Whakaritea te wai horoi: Whakaranua kia torutoru ngā pata o te hopi horoi rihi ngawari me te wai kua whakakorea ki roto i tētahi peihana. Kia tino kore te wai e hopi rawa, nā te mea ka waiho pea he toenga ki te hiako i te nui o te hopi.

● Whakamakukuhia te kakahu: Tōia te kokonga o te kakahu maikoro-mipere ki roto i te wai hopi, ka kōmiomio kia tino mākū. Me mākū te kakahu, kaua e mākū, kia kore ai e mākū te hiako.

● Horoia te mekameka kī: Horoia mārire te mekameka kī hiako ki te kakahu haukū, me te aro ki ngā wāhi paru, paru rānei. Whakamahia ngā nekehanga porowhita hei tango i te paru me te kore e kino te hiako. Mena he putea mekameka kī hiako tāu, kia aro nui ki ngā tuitui me ngā kokonga e pupū ake ai te paru.

● Horoi, whakamaroke: Whai muri i te horoinga, tangohia tētahi atu kakahu ma, haukū (whakamahia he wai anake, kaua he hopi) ka murua anō te mekameka kī hei tango i ngā toenga hopi. Kātahi ka ata whakamaroke i te hiako ki te kakahu maroke. Kaua e whakamahi i ngā puna wera pēnei i ngā whakamaroke makawe, nā te mea ka maroke te hiako.

● Whakaora i te Hiako: Kia maroke te mekameka kī, pania he iti o te whakangawari hiako ki tētahi atu kakahu ma. Mirimirihia ki roto i te hiako mā te whakamahi i ngā nekehanga porohita. He mea nui tēnei mahi nā te mea ka āwhina ki te whakahoki mai i te makuku me te pupuri i te ngawari o te hiako.

● Kaua e nui te makuku: He pūwero te hiako, ā, ka kino pea i te nui o te makuku. Whakamahia he kakahu makuku hei horoi i te hiako, kaua e whakamakuku.

● Te Rokiroki Tika: Ki te kore e whakamahia, rongoatia tō mekameka kī hiako ki te wāhi hauhautanga, maroke hoki, kia matara atu i te rā tika kia kore ai e memeha, e maroke rānei.

● Te Tiaki Auau: Horoia te puehu o tō mekameka kī hiako, ā, tiakina tonutia kia ātaahua tonu. Mā te tiaki iti ka roa te ora o tōna ataahua.

Hei whakarāpopototanga, he mahi māmā noa te horoi i tō mekameka kī hiako (tae atu ki tō pute mekameka kī hiako) ka roa ake ai tōna ora. Mā te whai i ēnei kaupae me ngā tohutohu, ka taea e koe te whakarite kia mau tonu te huatau me te whai hua o ō taputapu hiako mō ngā tau e haere ake nei.
