What makes plants bloom?

Question

The latest patch for Terraria added in a bunch of new plants (and their seeds) for use in alchemy.

I'd like to make a sustainable farm for these new plants, but I'm having trouble determining when the plants are in bloom.

What are the conditions underwhich the new plants will "bloom", and produce seeds on harvest? An ideal answer would have a picture of each plant in bloom contrasted with a picture of a plant not in bloom.

Answer

  • Daybloom Grown Daybloom Blooming Daybloom Daybloom blooms when it's day time.
  • Moonglow Grown Moonglow Blooming Moonglow Moonglow blooms when it's night time.
  • Blinkroot Grown Blinkroot Blooming Blinkroot Blinkroot blooms (and stops blooming) at random.
  • Deathweed Grown Deathweed Blooming Deathweed Deathweed blooms only during Blood Moons.
  • Waterleaf Grown Waterleaf Blooming Waterleaf Waterleaf blooms when it's touching water. The required water depth seems to be ~¼ blocks.
  • Fireblossom Grown Fireblossom Blooming Fireblossom Fireblossom blooms when it's touching lava. The same depth requirement applies.

When blooming, the plants also emit light and/or particle effects.
