From this ultimate guide on 24 hour oxygen giving plants you will get to know the names of plants that produces oxygen even during night.
Many people ask “Which plant give 24-hour oxygen.” Yet few argue that plants can’t give 24-hour oxygen. They believe that oxygen production only takes during the day by photosynthesis.
But this is not true, few plants can be 24-hour oxygen giving plants. They can produce oxygen in the day as well as at night. People generally ask for scientific explanation and I am providing you. Any student of Botany or agriculture already know this.

परिचय
Plants like Areca Palm, Snake Plants, Aloe vera, Tulsi, Neem, etc. can produce oxygen at night with the help of the dark reaction.
They follow CAM (Crassulacean Acid Metabolism) pathway.
Photosynthesis can take place by two pathways:
Light Reaction और Dark Reaction
In light reaction, in the presence of light O2 is released by splitting of H2O.
In Dark reaction, in the absence of light CO2 is used to make sugars. (Calvin Cycle)
During night plants open stomata to minimize water loss and CO2 is absorbed by the stomata and O2 is released. Absorbed particles are stored in vacuoles as Malate.
But not all the plants can do that, only a few plants that follow the CAM pathway can give 24-hour oxygen to the atmosphere. These plants perform both C3 and C4 cycles.
However many researchers have still many doubts on this topic, few say these plants are exceptions.
Let’s now discuss the names and description of 24 Hour Oxygen Giving Plants.
