Indoor Plant Root Zone Microbiology

FAQ About Indoor Plant Root Zone Microbiology

How can you improve the root zone microbiome for better plant health?

Improving the root zone microbiome can be achieved through several practices: avoiding excessive use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, as they can disrupt microbial populations; incorporating organic matter such as compost to provide nutrients for microbes; and using microbial inoculants to introduce beneficial microorganisms directly into the soil.

Regular soil testing and monitoring can help to tailor specific amendments to maintain a healthy and balanced microbiome around the plant roots.
