Nights shorter than a critical length. Long day plants can also be thought of as short night plants.
Photoperiod determines the time of flowering in many plants. Accordingly the plants have been classified as short day plants, long day plants and day neutral plants. A short day plant can be brought into flowering by putting in the dark for a specific period of time for the required days. Similarly, long day plants can be subjected to artificial light of desired intensity to initiate flowering.Photoperiod determines the time of flowering in many plants.

Short day plants require a longer period of darkness to flower, while long day plants need more hours of daylight to bloom. This difference in light exposure affects their growth and flowering patterns.

Long day plants require a certain minimum amount of daylight to flower, while short day plants need a specific maximum amount of daylight. Long day plants flower when days are longer than a critical length, while short day plants flower when days are shorter than a critical length. The growth patterns of these plants vary based on the length of daylight they receive, with long day plants flowering in the summer when days are longer, and short day plants flowering in the fall when days are shorter.
Photoperiodism is a response that certain plants have to decreases or increases in the amount they receive in a day (which is normally produced by seasonal movement of the sun - longer and shorter days). Some plants require short days to initiate flower formation, while others long day length initiates flowering. This process can be artificially created in greenhouses using curtains and artificial light to "trick" certain plants like chrysanthemums and poinsettia to flower outside of their natural flowering period. Photoperiodism is controlled at a cellular level by photoreceptor proteins in the cells of the plants. Phototropism is a the mechanism whereby plants grow towards the light (like a houseplant growing towards the window), or in the case of certain flowers like sunflower the way in which the "flower" tracks the path of the sun
A fern is not a flowering plant.All kinds of ferns existed long before flowering plants developed.

Angiosperms are also known as flowering plants because they produce flowers as part of their reproductive structures. These plants bear seeds enclosed within an ovary or fruit. They are the most diverse group of plants on Earth, with over 300,000 known species.
Short day plants require a longer period of darkness to flower, while long day plants need more hours of daylight to bloom. This difference in light exposure affects their growth and flowering patterns.
Daily periodicity of light (photoperiod) plays very important role in initiating flowering in a variety of plants. On this basis plants are classified as 1. long day plants, 2. short day plants and 3. day -neutral plants. Day neutral plants are not affected by daily photoperiod for their flowering whereas 1 & 2 category require long duration & short duration of light for flower initiation respectively.
according to this hypothesis,the application of gibberellins on long day plants in non-inductive cyles will induce flowering,while in short day plants if non inductive cycle is provided then application of gibberellin has no effect on floweringi.e. flowering will not be induced.
Radishes may flower due to stress factors such as high temperatures, lack of water, or old age. Flowering can also occur if the radishes are left in the ground for too long.
Plants requiring long nights to flower are called short-day plants. These plants use the length of darkness as a cue to initiate flowering. Examples include poinsettias, chrysanthemums, and strawberries.

A hartstongue is a type of fern that has long, strap-like fronds, while a daffodil is a type of flowering plant from the Narcissus genus that produces yellow or white trumpet-shaped flowers. Hartstongues are non-flowering plants, while daffodils are flowering plants.
Photoperiodism is a mechanism that plants and animals have that reacts to the length of the night and day. It influences flowering because certain types of flowers will only bloom after long periods of darkness, while others can flower during shorter night time periods. Photoperiodism allows the plant to know what time it should flower.
Phytochrom-FarRed increases during the day to inhibit flowering. At night it degrades slowly to Phytochrom-Red which does not inhibit flowering. "Short-Day" plants need long nights to complete this process in order to flower in the late summer.
