A plant will lose water less quickly in the dark than it will in bright sunshine or heat, however it will still lose some water.

So if you are thinking of going away and hoping that leaving your pot plants in the dark will mean you don't need to water them, then it won't work.

The other problem is that plants need light to stay alive, and they would suffer and die if you leave them in the dark for too long.

Hope this helps

Why dark-colored and loose soil rich in organisms?

Dark-colored soil contains organic matter derived from decaying plant and animal materials, which provides nutrients for organisms. Loose soil allows for better aeration, water infiltration, and root penetration, creating a suitable environment for organisms to thrive and contribute to soil health.


Do plants need water after sunlight?

Yes, plants need water throughout the day in order to carry out essential processes like photosynthesis. Water is needed to transport nutrients within the plant, maintain cell structure, and support growth. Without water, plants can wilt, become stressed, and eventually die.


In the dark plants cannot?

In the dark, plants cannot photosynthesize effectively due to the lack of light. This results in reduced production of glucose, which is essential for their growth and survival. Without sufficient light, plants may become weak and eventually die.


Can water plants survive in aquarium placed in dark?

Water plants can survive in an aquarium placed in the dark for a limited time, but they will eventually suffer due to the lack of light. Most aquatic plants rely on photosynthesis to produce energy, which requires light. Without sufficient light, they may become weak, stop growing, and eventually die. Additionally, low light conditions can lead to algae growth and other imbalances in the aquarium ecosystem.


Where do plants get carbon dioxide for the dark reaction of photosynthesis?

Major amount of CO2 for dark reaction is provided by the atmosphere. Part of it is also contributed by cellular respiration of plants.

Can plants germinate without sunlight?

Yes. Tried this experiment and the plants in the dark germinate and grew faster than the plants in the sunlight. But, if you leave it in the dark for too long, its leaves would turn yellow from the lack of chlorophyll and the plants would eventually die. (I tried with green bean plants, so not sure if other plants can) By the way, you will have to make sure that the plants in the dark have enough air and water, if not it will probably die before germinating.

Do plants lose water to the air through their roots?

Not really. The roots take in water, which passes up through the plant, carrying nourishment as it goes. Any excess water leaves through the leaves! On the other hand, if the roots are exposed and are still white, (as opposed to the dark brown barked roots that trees often have) they can loose lots of water. It's best to keep them covered.
