FAQ About Indoor Plant Antifungal Strategies

Can over-fertilizing contribute to fungal diseases in indoor plants?

Over-fertilizing can indeed contribute to fungal diseases in indoor plants. Excess nutrients, particularly nitrogen, can promote lush, tender growth that is more susceptible to fungal infections. It can also lead to salt buildup in the soil, impairing root function and making the plant more vulnerable to root rot and other fungal problems. Follow recommended fertilization guidelines to avoid these issues.
