What are phytoalexins, and how do they help indoor plants?

Phytoalexins are antimicrobial compounds produced by plants in response to pathogen attack or stress. They play a role in defense by inhibiting the growth of harmful microorganisms and enhancing resistance to infection. In the context of healing, phytoalexins can help protect injured tissues from disease, thereby supporting the plant's recovery and overall health.
