Radish is a semi-cold-resistant plant and is mostly planted in temperate regions. Radish seedlings can grow normally at 18-25℃, but flower bud differentiation will occur below 6℃.

The most suitable growth temperature for radish fruit, which is the root tuber, is 13-18℃. Too high or too low temperature is not suitable for radish growth. It should be noted that radish needs sufficient and long-term light in the early stage of growth, which is conducive to promoting leaf photosynthesis, synthesizing nutrients to supply growth and storing nutrients.
