FAQ About Indoor Plant Leaf Shape and Texture Analysis

Why do some indoor plants have hairy leaves?
Hairy leaves in indoor plants often evolve as adaptations to specific environmental conditions. The hairs can help reduce water loss by trapping moisture and reducing airflow over the leaf surface. This feature is beneficial for plants in arid or dry indoor environments. Additionally, hair can protect against pests and extreme sunlight, which helps the plant to thrive in challenging conditions.
