FAQ About Carbon Sequestration Through Indoor Plants

Can indoor plants sequester carbon at night?
Most indoor plants do not sequester carbon at night because they rely on the process of photosynthesis to absorb CO2, which requires light. However, some plants, such as the Snake Plant and certain succulents, can uptake CO2 at night through a process called Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (CAM) photosynthesis.
