[when does epiphyllum blossom] the season and time when epiphyllum blossoms

Legend epiphyllum can only open once a year, but in real life, we found that there are many blooming epiphyllum, then exactly when epiphyllum open it? Let's take a look together!

Epiphyllum belongs to cactus family, is a kind of attached plant, like to grow in warm and humid and semi-shady environment, require to grow in good soil, not resistant to frost, not suitable for strong light exposure, generally in summer and autumn at night flowering, flower color is mostly white, flower funnel shape, fragrant. It is said that a flash in the pan, in fact, this is not the case, if the weather is hot and dry season, epiphyllum flowering can reach one or two hours, if it is in the cooler autumn, flowering can bloom longer time.

The reason why there is a flash in the pan is that the flowering period of epiphyllum is indeed a little shorter than that of other flowers. After blooming, epiphyllum usually withers in 3 to 4 hours, because epiphyllum blossoms when its petals are open and it is very easy to lose water. Under the condition of insufficient water, the petals will close and the flowers will wither quickly.

Epiphyllum flowering season is generally in June-October, flowering time is generally 8-9 o'clock in the evening, blooming time is only 3-4 hours, very short. Epiphyllum open, the kaleidoscope slowly tilt, the purple coat slowly open, and then by more than 20 petals, white as snow, large flowers open.

One night I finally waited until the epiphyllum opened, very beautiful, if in the light will appear more dazzling, dazzling, there is a hint of fragrance, intoxicating, unfortunately, it did not bloom long flowers closed, so many people are called "a flash in the pan." But now some people have come up with a way to "reverse day and night", so that it blooms during the day, so that her beauty can last longer and more people can appreciate it.

From this point of view, epiphyllum's medicinal value should not be underestimated, but a small number of people should pay attention to, like stomach cold people try not to drink fresh epiphyllum brewing drinks.

Epiphyllum can inhale carbon dioxide at night and release oxygen. General flowers can purify the air, but only during the day, when night comes, they will become the same as the human body, absorbing oxygen and exhaling carbon dioxide. Therefore, if too many such flowers are placed indoors, it will cause flowers to compete with people for oxygen, affecting people's health. Epiphyllum is exactly the opposite. It is a common plant with CAN metabolism mode. It will close the stomata on the back of the leaves during the day. At night, after the ambient temperature drops to an appropriate temperature, it will open the stomata on the back of the leaves to discharge oxygen and absorb carbon dioxide.

Epiphyllum can increase indoor anion content. It is beautiful and noble when blooming, fragrance overflowing, has always been a beautiful flower favored by people. Not only that, it can release negative ions, so that indoor air fresh and pleasant. Negative ions can be said to be vitamins in the air. If the negative ion content in the room decreases, people will feel suffocated and suffocated. Therefore, can increase the concentration of negative ions in the air Epiphyllum, is indeed a rare beautiful useful flowers.
