Do you know how indoor plants move in a day?

The plant is like a human being, in the daytime reaching out to catch the dawn and in the evening shrinking to sleep. You may not believe after viewing the following time-lapse video, you will be clear.

The greatness of time-lapse photography is to give us insights into the natural world when there is no visual observation.

According to Petapixel, Darryl Cheng of House Plant Journal recently shared a special video time-lapse that recorded how the plants in the house moved in a day. To demonstrate the change, you can look at the clock placed next to the two plant pots.

Sharing on Instagram on the video, Cheng said watching two pots of oxalis and maranta moves every day is his hobby.

Cheng also added that movements all day and night were called nyctinasty. The term nyctinasty is understood to be the rhythmic movement of the biological rhythm of higher plants to deal with the change of darkness, or that is how plants sleep.

Meanwhile, nyctinasty movement involves daylight and temperature changes and is controlled by biological clock and protein receptor pigment or phytochrome photosensitive pigment in leaves.
