FAQ About Indoor Plant Root Zone Microbiology
How do fungi in the root zone contribute to indoor plant growth?
Fungi in the root zone contribute significantly to indoor plant growth through mycorrhizal associations. Mycorrhizal fungi form symbiotic relationships with plant roots, extending their hyphae into the soil to increase nutrient and water absorption capabilities. This mutualistic relationship improves plant access to nutrients like phosphorus and enhances drought resistance.
Furthermore, these fungi may also help protect plants from root pathogens and environmental stress.
