FAQ About Hydrophobic Soil Solutions for Indoor Plants
What causes soil to become hydrophobic?
Hydrophobic soil occurs when organic matter in the soil, such as decomposed plants, produces a waxy coating around soil particles. This coating prevents water from penetrating and scattering throughout the soil. Over time, this effect can be exacerbated by factors such as infrequent watering, certain types of potting mixes, or prolonged dry conditions, leading to the repellence of water.
