Indoor Plant Hormonal Balances

FAQ About Indoor Plant Hormonal Balances

Can stress influence the hormonal balance in indoor plants?

Yes, stress from environmental factors such as drought, pests, or extreme temperatures can significantly affect hormonal balance. Plants may produce more abscisic acid under drought conditions to reduce water loss or increase ethylene levels during pest attacks to signal defense mechanisms. Managing stressors through proper care helps maintain hormonal equilibrium and improve plant resilience.
