FAQ About Indoor Plant Hormonal Balances

Can pruning influence the hormonal balance in indoor plants?
Yes, pruning can influence hormonal balance by altering the distribution and concentration of auxins and cytokinins within the plant. Removing apical buds reduces auxin dominance, encouraging lateral bud development and achieving bushier growth. This technique is often used to manage shape and promote healthier canopy formation, but pruning should be done thoughtfully to ensure balanced growth.
