FAQ About Indoor Plant Root System Exploration
Why do some plants become root-bound, and how can it be prevented?
Plants become root-bound when their roots grow too large for their container. This typically occurs when a plant has been in the same pot for too long without repotting. To prevent a plant from becoming root-bound, it’s essential to regularly check the root-to-soil ratio and repot the plant into a larger container when necessary. Another way to prevent root-bound conditions is to trim the roots during repotting if they are excessively tangled or dense.
