Indoor Plant Metabolic Processes

FAQ About Indoor Plant Metabolic Processes

How does water affect the metabolic processes of indoor plants?

Water is crucial for the metabolic processes of indoor plants as it plays a key role in photosynthesis and nutrient uptake. It acts as a medium for transporting nutrients from the soil to different parts of the plant. Moreover, water maintains cell turgor, which is essential for structural support and growth. Insufficient water can lead to wilting and reduced photosynthetic efficiency, whereas overwatering can cause root rot.
