Nutrient Partitioning in Indoor Plants

FAQ About Nutrient Partitioning in Indoor Plants

What role do hormones play in nutrient partitioning for indoor plants?

Hormones play a critical role in nutrient partitioning by regulating the growth and development of indoor plants. They help control where nutrients are allocated within the plant. For example, auxins promote shoot growth by directing nutrients to the stems and leaves, while cytokinins help balance this by encouraging root growth. The interplay between different hormones ensures that nutrient distribution meets the plant's current needs effectively.
