FAQ About Indoor Plant Photosynthesis Rates and Environment

What role does humidity play in the photosynthesis of indoor plants?

Humidity affects photosynthesis by influencing the opening and closing of stomata, the pores on leaves. High humidity can keep stomata open longer, facilitating more carbon dioxide uptake, which is crucial for photosynthesis. Conversely, very low humidity can cause stomata to close, reducing photosynthesis rates.
