Plant growth regulators are chemical hormones that influence the differentiation and growth of plant cells, organs and tissues. The plant hormones function as chemical signal molecules for intercellular communication. Three types of movement are used for this communication: cytoplasmic streaming, slow diffusion of ions, and vascular tissue movement.

Not all plant cells respond to certain hormones. Throughout the plant’s growth cycle, different hormones are therefore used. Ensuring that the greatest effects of the hormones will take place in a certain growth stage. The five most important hormones are: auxins, gibberellins, cytokinins, abscisic acid (ABA) and ethylene. In addition to these five growth regulators, two other groups are sometimes used in regulating plant growth: brassinosteroids and polyamines.

In order to produces special flowers, like this blue flower, you need different hormones every growth stage.
