Indoor Plant Breathing and Gas Exchange

Do indoor plants respire more at night?

Indoor plants respire 24/7, but their respiration is more noticeable at night when photosynthesis is not occurring. During nighttime respiration, plants generally consume oxygen and release carbon dioxide, contrasting with daytime when photosynthesis offsets carbon dioxide release.
