FAQ About Indoor Plant Sleep and Circadian Rhythms

Do indoor plants really have sleep patterns?

Yes, indoor plants do exhibit sleep patterns that are part of their circadian rhythms. These rhythms are biological processes in plants that follow a 24-hour cycle, responding mainly to light and darkness in their environment. At night, you may notice that some plants close their leaves or flowers, which indicates they are entering a rest phase.
