Plant Leaf Orientation: Rotating 45° Every 4 Days Minimizes Phototropism

Kelsie asks if rotating plant 45° every 4 days makes leaves follow sun.

Phototropism Basics

• Most plants orient leaves toward light.
• Longer fixed direction = sharper orientation.
• Rotate 45° every 4 days = minimal leaf turning, straight even growth.

Rotation prevents lopsidedness; some species more light-sensitive than others.
