FAQ About Indoor Plant Hormonal Balances

What is abscisic acid and what does it do in plants?
Abscisic acid (ABA) is a plant hormone that plays a crucial role in stress response, particularly related to drought and cold conditions. In indoor plants, ABA helps regulate water use by controlling stomatal closure and can induce dormancy indirectly helping survive unfavorable conditions. Keeping ABA in balance is key to managing water stress and ensuring plant endurance in fluctuating indoor environments.
