How do different potting soils affect the growth of plant roots?

The type of potting soil used can significantly affect plant root growth. Well-draining soils help prevent root rot by allowing excess water to flow out, while retaining enough moisture for the roots to absorb. Some soils are specifically formulated with added nutrients and are aerated to support root health. It's vital to choose a soil mix that matches the plant's natural habitat requirements for optimal root development.
