  • What's a short day plant?

  • While not common, there are some plants that need more darkness than light to survive & flower. These plants perform better when they're exposed to more darkness. These type of plants are known as short day plant (that is, they need shorter day [approximately less than 12 hours] & longer nights to survive)
  • Cotton, rice & chrysanthemums are examples of short day plants.

A plant that requires a long period of darkness, is termed a "short day" (long night) plant. Short-day plants form flowers only when day length is less than about 12 hours. Many spring and fall flowering plants are short day plants, including chrysanthemums, poinsettias and Christmas cactus.
