It’s a known fact that plants release oxygen during the day in the presence of natural light through the process of photosynthesis. At night, they uptake oxygen and releases carbon dioxide, this process is called respiration.
However, some plants can continue the same process and can uptake carbon dioxide during the night as well because of their ability to perform a type of photosynthesis called Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (CAM). CAM is one of the three types of photosynthesis pathways occurring commonly in plants that can easily grow in desserts and often called succulents, the other two being C3 and C4 pathways.
Aloe vera is one such plant that produces oxygen at night and keeps us healthy too. Let’s see how it is useful to produce enough amount of oxygen at night in this article.
Does Aloe Vera Produce Enough Oxygen At Night?
Of course yes, Aloe vera is a succulent that grows healthily in any environment easily. It opens stomata at night which means the exchange of gases will happen during night hours and go through the process of CAM and produce enough amount of oxygen. That’s the reason many people grow this plant indoors that emits the oxygen at night and increases the longevity of life.
According to several studies, Placing an aloe vera plant in our home improves air quality throughout the day and helps people to sleep better at night.
