Plants that can bloom when exposed to light for more than 12 hours a day are typically referred to as "long-day plants" or "short-night plants." These plants have specific flowering requirements that are triggered by longer periods of daylight.
Long-day plants generally require a critical minimum duration of uninterrupted darkness, often referred to as the "critical night length," to induce flowering. If the period of darkness falls below this critical threshold, the flowering process is delayed or inhibited.
Examples of long-day plants include:
1. Lettuce (Lactuca sativa)
2. Spinach (Spinacia oleracea)
3. Radish (Raphanus sativus)
4. Carnations (Dianthus caryophyllus)
5. Barley (Hordeum vulgare)
6. Sugar beets (Beta vulgaris)
7. Sunflowers (Helianthus annuus)
It's important to note that while these plants have a general preference for longer daylight periods, the exact flowering response can vary among different species and cultivars. Additionally, other factors such as temperature, nutrition, and genetic characteristics can also influence a plant's flowering behavior.
