FAQ About Hydrophobic Soil Solutions for Indoor Plants

What role does soil composition play in preventing hydrophobic conditions?
Soil composition plays a critical role in preventing hydrophobic conditions. A well-balanced soil mix that promotes good aeration and moisture retention is less likely to become hydrophobic. Incorporating organic matter and elements like perlite or vermiculite improves the soil's ability to retain moisture and reduces the chances of hydrophobic barriers forming.
