Do you know why succulent plants have color?

"succulent plants are colorful and dazzling in color, so do you know where the color of succulent plants comes from?"

The colorful colors of succulent plants are formed by anthocyanins in the vacuoles of their cells, which can be converted from chlorophyll.

1. The unsuitable environment promoted the formation and accumulation of anthocyanins.

The temperature, light and humidity of the home make the growing environment of succulent plants little changed. In this environment, the photosynthesis is exuberant and the proportion of chlorophyll is high, so the succulent plants are easy to appear green.

In the greenhouse, there is a big temperature difference between morning and evening, the light intensity is many times that of the home, and the humidity is also high. in this environment, chlorophyll is converted into anthocyanins, and succulent plants show colorful colors.

two。 Why is the light intensity of the greenhouse many times that of the home?

Ultraviolet, visible and infrared rays are distributed in sunlight, which will decrease due to reflection and absorption when they pass through covering materials such as thin films, so the broad-spectrum transmittance ratio of covering materials to different wavelengths is one of the important factors that determine the properties of various covering materials.

Ultraviolet rays not only contribute to the morphogenesis of succulent plants and the formation of anthocyanins, but also inhibit the growth of succulent plants and some pathogenic bacteria.

Glass can filter low-band ultraviolet rays, which is an important factor in promoting the formation of anthocyanins. The visible light transmittance of ordinary glass is about 90%, which is suitable for photosynthesis (the effective wavelength region of photosynthesis is visible light), which makes the proportion of chlorophyll higher.

So glass room, or balcony glass faces south, but the light transmittance is general, this is the reason. The covering material of the greenhouse is plastic film, which has good flexibility, transparency, heat preservation and anti-fog effect, high permeability to ultraviolet light, high proportion of anthocyanins, and bright and beautiful meat color.

3. How to keep succulent plants in good shape and color?

Open windows for ventilation; reduce night temperature and increase temperature difference; properly control water; increase the proportion of particles in the soil. As long as you pay attention to the above points, the meat at home will be equally fat and beautiful in color.
