FAQ About Indoor Plant Ethylene Sensitivity

What is ethylene and how does it affect indoor plants?
Ethylene is a naturally occurring plant hormone involved in regulating various aspects of plant growth and development, including ripening, flowering, and stress responses. In indoor plants, ethylene can influence growth patterns by promoting leaf abscission, fruit ripening, and flowering. Its effect can vary depending on the type of plant, the concentration of ethylene, and environmental conditions.
