Indoor Plant Genetic Preservation

FAQ About Indoor Plant Genetic Preservation

Why is preserving the genetic diversity of indoor plants important?

Preserving the genetic diversity of indoor plants is crucial for several reasons. It ensures that we have a resilient pool of plant genetics that can adapt to changing environmental conditions or disease pressures. Additionally, genetic diversity can lead to the discovery of new plant varieties with desirable traits such as enhanced aesthetic appeal or better growth characteristics. Furthermore, maintaining biodiversity helps in conservation efforts and supports ecosystem balance.
