At lowered light levels the leaves fold down; timelapse recorded at ~750x actual speed and covering a 1.5 hr period of time. In biology , nastic movements are non-directional responses to stimuli (e.g. temperature , humidity , light irradiance ) that occur more rapidly than tropisms and are usually associated with plants .
