How are they able to determine the time of year and when to bloom or shed their leaves?
In: Biology
It’s usually based on the length of the day/hours of sunlight. As the days grow longer or shorter throughout the year, this activates signals in the plant to grow, bloom, shed leaves, etc.
That’s why you can influence… *certain* plants to flower indoors by manipulating the light cycle from something 18 hours (“summertime”) down to like 12 hours and make them flower.
