FAQ About Indoor Plant Growth-Supportive Microorganisms

What is the role of nitrogen-fixing bacteria in indoor plant growth?
Nitrogen-fixing bacteria, such as those from the genus Rhizobium, convert atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia, a form that plants can uptake and use. This is particularly beneficial for plants grown in nitrogen-poor soils. While these bacteria are commonly associated with legumes in outdoor systems, inoculating indoor plants with these bacteria can also enhance nitrogen availability and promote plant growth.
