Talinum is native to tropical America and has been planted in central and southern China. Often born in front of the house and behind the house, along the hillside, some escape from the wild and are born in wet places. Talinum likes warm and humid environment, is not cold-resistant, likes full sunlight, and plants that pass through the shade are heat-resistant.
Growth habit
I like warm and humid climate, high temperature and humidity resistance, cold tolerance and full illumination, and plants that pass through the shade are heat-resistant. The optimum temperature for seed germination is 20~25℃, and the optimum temperature for plant growth is 25 ~ 30℃, which can withstand high temperature above 36℃. When it is 15℃, it grows slowly, and the aboveground part dies when it meets frost. Perennial roots can withstand the low temperature of 0℃ or -5℃ for a short time, and like light, but they are also resistant to shade, and the stem and leaf growth period requires sufficient water.
Talinum has strong resistance to adversity, poor tolerance and wide adaptability to soil, but it is suitable to cultivate in loose loam with rich organic matter content. Some escape for the wild, born in wet land.
