Sun light creates plants, so arguably every plant’s growth is all about capturing the optimal amount of sun, moisture and nutrients that its particular plant species needs. But conversely, are plants entirely oblivious to moon light? Or can you see in the way some species grow that they also attempt to capture some degree of nocturnal luminescence?

Moonlight, at its absolute brightest, is about 1/10000th the brightness of a *cloudy* day.
Some plants do flower at night to attract specific pollinators but none probably try to use moonlight to photosynthesize more than accidentally.
