FAQ About Indoor Plant Pollination Assistance

Why do some indoor plants need manual pollination?
In indoor environments, the natural agents like wind and pollinators such as bees and butterflies may not be present to carry out pollination. Many indoor plants, especially those that produce fruit such as tomatoes, peppers, or strawberries, rely on pollinators in nature. To achieve fertilization and fruit production indoors, humans often need to intervene manually to transfer pollen from one flower to another.
