FAQ About Indoor Plant Root Zone Microbiology
What are mycorrhizal fungi and how do they support plant health?
Mycorrhizal fungi are a type of fungus that forms a symbiotic relationship with the roots of most plants. These fungi extend the root system through their network of hyphae, which penetrate the soil and significantly increase the surface area for water and nutrient absorption. In return, the fungi receive carbohydrates produced by the plant through photosynthesis.
This relationship is beneficial for enhancing nutrient uptake, promoting plant growth, and imparting resilience against environmental stresses and soil-borne diseases.
