Which plants bloom at night and close during the day?

Which flowers sleep by day and work by night? They love to quietly show their most beautiful selves at night, then close by the next morning. Which lovely flowers are these? Follow along with the editor below as we talk about these so-called night-blooming flowers.

Epiphyllum

It is native to the tropical regions of the Americas, also known as "a fleeting glimpse of the epiphyllum," and is famous for its brief nighttime bloom. Its flowers are pure white and beautiful, and they also carry a rich fragrance. The main reason the epiphyllum blooms at night is that it is an epiphytic flower growing on trees; during the day, high temperatures and strong sunlight could cause it to dehydrate quickly, so it chose to bloom at night on its own to improve the success rate of pollination. If you keep an epiphyllum at home, you can place it in a bright spot with indirect scattered light on a balcony. The suitable growing temperature is 18-24 degrees Celsius. In winter, when the temperature drops below 10 degrees, you should cover it with a bag to avoid frost. For watering, slightly moist soil is best. It is recommended to water once a week in autumn and the other season, increase it appropriately in summer, and reduce watering in winter.

Night-blooming jasmine

I believe many people have heard the song "Night-blooming Jasmine." It likes to bloom at night, and when the flowers open they carry an intoxicating fragrance. The reason it chooses to bloom at night is also a pollination strategy; doing so can attract moths and insects at night to help it complete pollination. For home care, you can place it in a sunny spot with a little shade, which can avoid direct strong midday sun. It is recommended to choose soil with organic matter. For watering, give it a thorough watering once a week in spring, autumn, and summer. In winter, judge based on whether the soil is moist and reduce appropriately.

Tuberose is a flower with an elegant fragrance after blooming. The reason for its nighttime blooming mechanism is that the flowers contain "anthocyanin" pigments, which are somewhat sensitive to light and only unfold their petals at night when the light becomes weak. For daily care points, it likes warmth, and in winter you should especially protect it from the cold, but in winter you should also prevent heatwaves from scorching the leaves. It is recommended to keep it on a balcony, as long as you avoid the sun in the afternoon. For watering, use soil moisture as the guide, and do not let water accumulate at the bottom of the flowerpot, to avoid the roots becoming too wet and rotting.
