Do some plants grow only at night?
I came across the following quote, and many plants are
nocturnal, plants of the nightshade family; tomatoes, potatoes,
peppers, eggplant, etc. only grow at night... they store up energy
during daylight but don't actually grow until it's dark.
Is this true? Can anyone site a source for this information?
I know most plants consume CO2 in the day and O2 at night, but the above
statement seems counter intuitive.
TIA
