Morphological features of the bulb plant
The skin of the bulb plant is bright green and semi-transparent; during the summer dormancy period, in an environment with sufficient light, the skin turns red. The flowers are large, pale purplish-red, with a white center, blooming in spring or autumn. The flowers open during the day and close at night; if the growing environment has insufficient light or it is cloudy and rainy, it is difficult for them to bloom.
Habits of the bulb plant
The bulb plant is native to South Africa, and its growth habits differ from those of other plants.
The bulb plant begins to grow in autumn, and in winter and spring it begins to develop a plant body inside; usually only one new shoot can be produced inside each plant. As the plant grows, the new shoot inside gradually expands, achieving its own renewal.
In summer the bulb plant enters dormancy, and the surface dries up and wraps around the skin. Although it is not attractive, the outer old leaves can protect the plant and absorb water, playing a protective role for the new shoot. In autumn the plant wakes up, and the kraft-paper-like old leaves on the surface automatically fall off, restoring its crystal-clear state.
