Do plants need darkness

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 12-06-29] [Hit: ]
Plants can grow well in continual light but some types take some darkness to prompt them to flower and set fruit.-Plants must have sustained darkness for a certain number of hours to tell when in the season it is... even shining a light on a plant in the night can affect flowering and maturation. Plants actually need sleep.......
well
can plants live normally if they're exposed to the light continuosely ?
or at least what kind of plants are most likely to not get effected by this ...

-
Yes and no. Plants can grow well in continual light but some types take some darkness to prompt them to flower and set fruit.

Plants must have sustained darkness for a certain number of hours to tell when in the season it is... even shining a light on a plant in the night can affect flowering and maturation. Plants actually need sleep. Tomatoes are a good example... look up tomatoes and their need for darkness.

-
Plants require light to produce their own food through photosynthesis. Darkness, or an absence of light, does not aid the plant in any notable way. However, depending on the type of plant, too much light can cause the plant to wilt.

Yes they need darkness. You can raise them without it, but you get a different plant structure.
