FAQ About Indoor Plant Growth Regulators and Hormones

What is ethylene's effect on indoor plants?
Ethylene is a gaseous plant hormone that plays a significant role in fruit ripening, flower wilting, leaf abscission, and response to stress. In indoor plants, ethylene can be used to control the ripening process of fruits and the senescence of flowers. However, excessive ethylene exposure can lead to premature leaf drop and other stress-related responses, necessitating careful management.
