The daylight saving time change, scheduled for the night of Saturday, March 29 to Sunday, March 30, 2025, is a significant event in our daily routines. But what about our plants?
At VerdiVista, let’s explore together the effects of this time change on your plants and discover how to best support them.
Understanding the Impact of Time Change on Plants
Plants possess an internal biological clock, known as the circadian rhythm, which regulates essential processes such as photosynthesis, flowering, and growth. This clock is primarily synchronized by environmental factors, including light and temperature. Fortunately, unlike humans, plants adapt quickly to light variations induced by the time change, without experiencing major disruptions.
Effects of Daylight Saving Time on Growth and Flowering
The lengthening of days, characteristic of daylight saving time, offers prolonged light exposure.
This increase in light stimulates photosynthesis, thereby promoting more vigorous growth and earlier flowering in many plant species.
However, it is essential to monitor watering, as accelerated growth can lead to increased water needs.
Increased Pest Monitoring
With longer days and rising temperatures, certain pests and diseases become more active. It is therefore recommended to regularly inspect your plants to quickly detect any infestation or disease symptoms and to intervene promptly if necessary.
Tips for Adapting Plant Care
- Watering: Gradually increase the frequency of watering to meet the increased water needs related to growth stimulated by increased light.
- Exposure: Take advantage of longer days to reposition certain plants so they benefit from optimal light, while avoiding excessive direct exposure that could cause burns.
- Fertilization: Consider applying appropriate fertilizer to support growth and flowering, respecting the specific needs of each plant.
