FAQ About Indoor Plant Root Structures and Care

What signs indicate an indoor plant has root rot?
Signs of root rot in indoor plants include wilting leaves, despite adequate watering, yellowing leaves, stunted growth, and a bad smell emanating from the soil. If you suspect root rot, check for black, mushy roots, which indicate rot. Early intervention can help save the plant by cutting away affected roots and repotting it in fresh, well-draining soil.
