How does magnesium deficiency affect indoor plants?

Magnesium deficiency in indoor plants can cause interveinal chlorosis, where the leaf tissue turns yellow while the veins remain green. This occurs because magnesium is a central component of the chlorophyll molecule, necessary for photosynthesis. A lack of magnesium impairs chlorophyll production, affecting the plant's ability to photosynthesize effectively.
