There are various kinds of flowers in nature, and the characteristics of these flowers are also different. Some flowers have a very short flowering period, such as Epiphyllum, and of course some flowers have a very long flowering period.
Here are some flowers that have a very short flowering period.
1. Wheat flower
Wheat flowers are bisexual flowers. After heading, if the temperature is normal, the wheat can bloom after 3 to 5 days; if the wheat meets high temperature, it usually blooms 1 to 2 days after heading, and it can bloom on the day of heading; if it encounters low temperature after heading, it needs to go through 7 to 8 days or even ten days before flowering. The flowering time is generally 15 to 20 minutes, and it takes about 3 to 4 days for a wheat ear to bloom to the end.
2. Epiphyllum
Epiphyllum is famous for its short flowering period. It was a short-lived event, so many people waited in front of the flowerpot at night for a glimpse of the beauty. Epiphyllum generally blooms at night, and the whole process of blooming takes about 4 hours. After the flowers unfold, they gradually wilt again within 1 to 2 hours. Epiphyllum does not require much light, only about 3 to 8 hours of scattered light a day. It is afraid of excessive exposure or prolonged direct sunlight. Epiphyllum is a relatively drought-tolerant plant. You don’t have to water it too often. If the pot soil is slightly dry, water it a little bit. However, it is necessary to maintain a high air humidity all year round. To cultivate the Epiphyllum, you need to give some loose and well-drained sandy soil.
3. Morning glory
Everyone should be familiar with morning glory. In summer, you can often see small trumpet-shaped flowers outside, which are colorful and very beautiful. Morning glory blooms more than 4 or 5 in the morning, and the beautiful flowers bloom quietly in the slight morning light. When the sun rises and the light becomes stronger, it will slowly wither. Morning glory is particularly fond of light, and it is best to place it on a well-lit and ventilated balcony or window sill. Morning glory does not require frequent watering, and it is not too late to water when the soil is dry.
