But a lot of people have a sad experience of having to look at the bedlines, because many of them close in the evenings or even afternoons. How can i see the flowered sleeping lotus? And how can we keep the sleeping lotus open? For more details
Do you really need to sleep
Many people find that the sleeping lotus flower closes in the evening and reopens in the morning, calling it “sleeping beauty”. Sleeping lotus, do you really need to sleep like a pretty girl
As a sleeping lotus of plants, there is no nerve or feeling, and naturally there is no fatigue and no need to sleep. In order to adapt to changes in environmental factors such as light, temperature, humidity and natural enemies, plants also make some corresponding changes。
When the sun rises in the morning, the leaves of the plants are stretched to receive sunlight; the gas hole is open to absorb carbon dioxide, the raw material for light cooperation. At midday, when the sun is strong, the gas hole of the plant will be partially closed to reduce water fragmentation. In the evening, the sun sets, the leaves fall down and the air hole closes, avoiding the loss of water at night。
Plants that grow in the tropics, and in order to avoid burning by hot sun, flowers are often opened by day or noon. In cold areas, on the other hand, it is necessary to avoid the loss of heat as a result of nighttime openness, as well as the frost trauma。
This characteristic is placed on the sleeping lotus, which creates their unique time for rest. Hot-sleeping lichen can go up in the open, the leaves are smooth, the flowers are colourful but only blue purple, and they are open during the day and closed at night. The tropics are not cold, the leaves have sawn teeth, the leaves are often laced, colorful and blue purple. On the basis of flowering habits, tropical sleeping lotus is divided into day-time flowering (e. G. “extreme purple” “foxfire”) and night-time flowering (e. G. Egyptian white sleeping lotus, indian red sleeping lotus)。
In addition, the opening of flowers is a factor. Plants bloom to attract insects, birds or other animals to pollinate and breed their offspring, and the seasons of pollinators, such as bees, butterflies and birds, move during daytime, while moths and honey-eating bats are night animals, so plants adjust their flowering hours to attract specific pollinators。
So, sleeping lotus plants, such as sleeping lotus and wang lin, keep insects in their flowers when they close, so that they are covered with pollen, then open their petals the next day, release their poor “pants” and pollen them。
How do you keep the sleeping lotus to bloom
Sleeping lotus is beautiful and gentle, but it's also famous for bad breeding. A lot of people buy flowers, cut flowers, and stick them in their own bottles, but they can't wait for them to bloom, and they can only look at closed flowers and "seeing' sighs."。
Upon receipt of a sleeping lotion, each one is provided with a 45-degree slashing of the root, which increases the area of water intake. After cutting, water is pumped from the bottom until bubbles start at the bottom. Subsequently, water needs to be fed with water soluble nutrients, with the flower being 4-6 cm above the bottle when inserted (because the flower is heavy and too high to bend). The beauty of the bedline is super-drinked, so the water is much more bouquet than usual and placed near the bottle mouth。
It is worth mentioning that before a vase is inserted, it would be preferable to open the outer floor of the bedline, which would facilitate the flowering of flowers. In the case of fresheners, the water is replaced by water for about two days and cut for about three to four days, each time the root is washed clean, while water is poured at the root and the water level of the vase is kept at more than 95 per cent。
