If it's about indoors, potted plants it really doesn't matter much.

Evaporation is less at night, so you have more of the water actually reaching the plants. This can save you some water if you're watering your garden.

If the weather is warm yes, if it's winter and cold no, I would water in the morning. Ferns like a lot of moisture but not soaking wet.

It is scientifically proven that plants soak up more nutrients in the morning that at any other time in the day.

Yes you can water them at any time of day but you need to make sure they get enough sunlight.

Yes, you could try it. keep in mind though that plants respire at night. Good luck :)

When the stomata in a leaf close during the day then?

Stomata close during the night because the water will evaporate ( they do this to conserve water).


Which plants keep their stomata open only at night?

In most green plants the stomata are only open during the day. They allow carbon dioxide to reach the cells where the majority of photosynthesis takes place. As they also allow transpiration (water loss) the stomata of most plants close during the night when photosynthesis is not possible. There is a group of mainly desert plants known as CAM plants. These carry out a process called Crassulacean acid metabolism, which effectively allows them to store carbon dioxide in their leaves. In these plants the stomata are normally closed during the day to prevent water loss when temperatures are high, and open during the night when temperatures are lower.


Why do some plants close their stomata at night?

At night, there is no light, therefore no photosynthesis (which is the process of making energy from light). Photosynthesis uses CO2, however since photosynthesis is not occurring at night, there is no need to acquire CO2.Some plants (CAM plants) only open their stomata at night, however, in order to take in CO2 and store it until it is light and they can use photosynthesis then. This helps to eliminate water loss through the stomata which would occur more rapidly if the stomata were open during a hot day. (therefore, most CAM plants are found in desserts and such)


Why does the stomata of a desert plant close during the day?

In desert plants, the stomata is open during night. During night, desert plants (also called xerophytes) absorb co2 and form an intermediate. Then during day time when the stomata is closed to prevent loss of water, they use this stored carbon dioxide to perform photosynthesis.


At what time plants release oxygen?

When not engaged in photosynthesis (e.g. at night), plants use cellular respiration for energy, releasing some carbon dioxide. After death, the decomposition of plants releases carbon compounds such as carbon dioxide and methane.

Is water loss in plants greater during the day or at night?

Day, because the water can evaporate. At night it can't because there is no light.


Is water needed by a plant more during the day or night?

Pretty sure its night. During the day plants need more water because the sun is out.


Is the loss in plants greater during the day or at night?

Day, because the water can evaporate. At night it can't because there is no light.


C4 plants conserve water by?

opening their stomata and admitting C02 only at night


Do plants exhale carbon di oxide at night?

Carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere by photosynthesis in plants and by dissolving in water, especially on the surface of oceans. Plants inhale carbon dioxide


Why do plants do opposite breathing at night?

Many plants, called C3 and C4 plants, open their stomas during the day to let in carbon dioxide to instigate the process of cellular respiration. However some plants called CAM plants open their stomas at night. The main reason for this process is due to the physical environment the plants are located in. The majority of CAM plants are located in hot, dry and desert environments where water is scarce. As a result the CAM plants evolved so that they could close their stomas during the day and open them at night, to help retain water, at night the plants can still absorb CO2. Some examples of CAM plants are, cacti, pineapples, and aloe.


Is a goldfish healthier living among water plants or in clear water?

The goldfish will get more oxygen in the day, but at night, they will be competing for oxygen.


Slogan of how take caring of plants?

There is no one slogan on how to take care of plants. A suggestion is, Give me sun give me its light and water me every night.


Why do plants stay alive during cloudy days and at night?

They stay alive by using Dissolved oxygen of water at night and during cloudy time


What materials are needed plants to make food?

Sunlight Carbon dioxide Water Plants need air while making food but not oxygen. Plants only need oxygen at night.


Why might the desert seem bare one day and green the next?

Plants need all the features to grow. In deserts, all the ungrown plants get sunlight etc. and all they need then is water. When it rains, the plants get water and they grow in just a night.
