Tips on sunshine for growing flowers at home

There are long-day flowers and short-day flowers. Those that bloom in winter and spring are basically short-day flowers, while those that bloom in summer and autumn are basically long-day flowers. Long-day flowers can only bloom when the daylight hours reach a certain level, while short-day flowers will bloom as long as the daylight hours are short enough. Therefore, if people want to make long-day flowers bloom earlier, they use lights to extend the daylight time; if people want to make short-day flowers bloom earlier, they just need to cover them in the morning and evening to shorten the daylight time.

Long day: the sunshine time is more than 12 hours; short day: the sunshine time is 8-12 hours. Therefore, when growing flowers at home, you must provide light according to the flowering time of the plants!
