Why does cordate telosma smell at night?

Many plants rely on insect pollination to reproduce their offspring. Plants pollinated by insects during the day. During the day, the flowers are pleasant. Ye Xiang is pollinated by moths that appear at night. At night, it attracts moths to send out pollen for it with its rich aroma. This is Ye Xiang's unique way of life. Even during the day, there is only a faint Ye Xiang. At night, there is no sunshine, but its fragrance is stronger. Why? This is because the fragrant petals at night are different from ordinary flowers during the day.

The petals of fragrant flowers at night are characterized by stomata. When the air humidity is high, it will greatly expand, expand pores and produce more volatile aromatic oil. There is no sun at night, the air is much wetter than during the day, and the pores are enlarged, so the fragrance is very rich. We can also find that the fragrance of flowering at night is not only at night, but also in rainy days. At this time, due to rainy days, the air is humid. In addition to the fragrance in the evening, the grass blooms in the evening, and so do the tobacco flowers.

At night, the fragrance will be emitted, and the longer the night, the stronger the fragrance. Facts have proved that opening the fragrance at night will give off a strong fragrance, which can attract moths to come out at night and help them impart pollen.

So distribute Ye Xiang at night. If you pay attention, you will find cordate telosma not only at night, but also in rainy days. Because of the air humidity in rainy days, the fragrance is stronger than that in sunny days. Its hometown is in tropical Asia, with warm white weather and little insect activity. At night, the temperature drops and many insects come out to feed. At this time, the aroma is rich at night, attracting insects to spread pollen. Under the influence of environmental factors handed down from generation to generation, Ye Xiang has developed the habit of always emitting fragrance at night. If you stay indoors for a long time, it will cause dizziness, cough, even asthma and insomnia. So the incense at night should be put indoors during the day and moved outdoors at night.
