Plant Hormone Cytokinin Function on general plant biology
What's Happening
Cytokinin promotes cell division (cytokinesis), delays leaf senescence (aging), promotes shoot formation, and counteracts auxin-induced apical dominance.
How to Fix It
- 1
Apply cytokinin to delay leaf yellowing
- 2
Use cytokinin-rich supplements to promote bushier growth
- 3
Bottom-watering can improve cytokinin distribution to lower leaves
How to Prevent It
Understand that aging leaves yellow partly due to declining cytokinin levels.

How do I fix plant hormone cytokinin function?
Apply cytokinin to delay leaf yellowing. Use cytokinin-rich supplements to promote bushier growth.
How do I prevent plant hormone cytokinin function from happening again?
Understand that aging leaves yellow partly due to declining cytokinin levels.
