FAQ About Hydrophobic Soil Solutions for Indoor Plants

To treat hydrophobic soil, you can start by gently breaking up the soil surface with a fork to improve aeration and help water penetrate. Adding organic matter like compost can improve soil structure. You can also use a soil wetting agent, which is a surfactant that helps water to be absorbed more efficiently. Another method is bottom watering by letting the pot sit in a shallow dish of water, allowing the soil to absorb water from the bottom up.
